      Bought a pair of Adidas shoes for myself. The shoes were kept inside my online cart for a very long time because no offer. Original price $149. I ended up only paying $73 during 11.11 sales.

      Some items less 30%-50% then add an additional 30% before check-out!
      Haha my shoes also mostly 50%. No 40% I don't want to see also.

        Wow, you are a seasoned shopper!

        There is a risk when waiting for large discounts because the shoe size may not be available by then.

            Maybe when we buy discounted things, we feel a sense of achievement, like, yeah we saved money!

            DH once said, if we don’t buy, we save even more. :razz:

            Maybe we should refrain from online shopping and only check-in 1 day before 9.9, 10.10, 11.11, and 12.12 sale. πŸ˜†

                I've been on an orgy of spending too - very unusual for me! Today, I bought a new exercise bike (for myself), a pair of shoes for each girl (they will pay me back though), and a sports singlet for my husband. And over the past few weeks, I replaced my oven, bought lots of books (Christmas presents), and plan to buy some clothes.

                Actually, now I look at the list, I feel better! Quite a few items are not for myself. And the 2 biggest ticket items (bike and oven) are to replace old items.

                  ... Today, I bought a new exercise bike (for myself)...
                  Cool! Is it a stationary bike or a real one? My brother in law bought a stationary bike after his knee replacement surgery and was able to get back to work in less than 2 months! I was very impressed.

                    Stationary. That's the only form of exercise that I am willing to do, and I have to confess that I don't do much, and only very low intensity. But I reckon some activity is better than nothing. I like to pedal in front of a fan, and read my ebook at the same time (so you can see how low intensity my exercise is!). I've had my current one for over 8 years, and various things no longer work, and bits are starting to fall off!

                      Wah. You used one until it broke... :shock: Impressive.

                      I've a treadmill for like 3-4 years and I used it regularly and it's still moving strong (I πŸ™ ) Reading ebook is a good idea and you won't even notice the time you spend on the thing. I put my treadmill in front of my TV and play a puzzle game and get so engrossed that sometimes I forget I'm on the treadmill.

                        I think it disintegrated from old age, not because of hard use! It certainly didn't get hard use from me (gentle use about twice a week for 20 mins at a time!), and no-one else in the family uses it.
