[quote=\"TheAnswer\"]Do aunties and ah peks here record their expenditure? Like say $0.90 coffee etc...I mean all the minor and major purchases. I find myself recording even the minor ones

I used to do that in my schooling days. Not anymore because it is just too time consuming.

Just curious, what is the reason for the recording? To see trends? To see where the major expense types?

Yup. To see trends and major expenses.[/quote]If one's intention is to cut expenses, then the recording is a good way o start. But if one is already quite disciplined in spendin (like me Hahahha). Then no need record Liao.


What I do is, I would draw out a sum of cash each month to frank small expenses, eg lunch on working days, snacks for kid etc. Then I see how much is left at the end of each month. The point is agar agar can Liao. For most expenses, I try to charge to credit card and I try to charge the same exp to the same card. So eg my Ntuc union credit card would chalk all the Ntuc expenses and art performances. My citibank card will hold all the guardian, giant, cold storage, shop and save and courier/shipping charges for purchases from overseas. So all I need is to look at the summary and total to assess the spending.

Wonder why the thread is called club super aunties n ah peks.

Ah pek sounds one generation older than aunties leh...at least to me.

shouldn't name this club as aunty and ah pek...ah pek is another generation and much older men. aunties and uncles

we are already aunties here...if match with ah pek, i will feel very lousy.
please change to UNCLES.

I was tempted to change it to Super Ah Sohs and Ah Peks. Thought otherwise. OK... can only be Super Aunties. Super Uncles doesn't sound very semantically correct.

have not bought chateau clothes before...they are expensive.
usually, i pop by 'blossom' at paragon. sometimes they clear prev season clothes at really attractive prices...$5-$25 for tops and jeans...jeans are not plain designs, but has beautiful beads. with a niece now, there is no wastage :evil:

when i see a tee sold at original price, i will not buy it until it is marked down. that's how i managed to get son's guess clothes at 60-70% cheaper.
daughter's blossom clothes are not newly-arrived designs either...they are from push cart inside the boutique. even her benetton capris are worth buys...$10 during GSS.

Chateau sales prices very irresistible.....say $10-$25 a piece & they are of very good material.
Oh....I din know Blossom does that...usually nothing of the clearance displayed or mentioned? :drool:
