Club Super Aunties
-
Few times i \"tried\" to shop for clothing or shoes.
As i walked into Robinsons,i detoured fr. clothing/beauty section,to home appliances section,shopped for pots n pans or bedsheets instead :scratchhead: .
at the end of my shopping session,i came back with bags of frying wok,bedsheet n towels.
i always wonder how i could shop n buy clothing/shoes for myself in the past.How come i can't do it?hmm... i really bcame aunty liao :scared: -

Base on what you guys have shared here, if there is a Super aunties test, think I will fail miserably. Yet my friends have been warning me that I am turning into a typical aunty. Maybe cos among my friends, I go grocery shopping more than I do fashion shopping and I am preferring wet markets to supermarkets.
If there is a contest, I won't join. I know, me know, own self know ...good enuf. No need to broadcast!! -

true.I dun hv helper too.No help fr inlaw or mother.I \"bao ka liao\".
:goodpost: yes fully agreed!vinegar:
last time used to compare prices.Then realise the discounts do not justify the savings over the expenses spend the parking,petrol :roll: & time consumed.
but still look out for sales for higher cost items that could give more savings esp. kitchen appliances.
Oredi time not euf!! @times see things needed @hm eg: soya sauce finishing
just grab! I dun hv a helper n nvr believe in hving a helper, so is all abt time management.. So long as not shopping in cold storage or 7-11.., find shopping in Ntuc, shop n save, minimart.. Cost still reasonable as taking in consideration into petrol, parking &esp my 2monsters tagging along... Hee
During school holidays,i've no choice to stk up my food fr. ntuc wf my kiddo.
Parking also restricted to sheltered carpark when bring them ard.Can easily consume $100 cashcard value within a mth. -
