Let's talk about one semi-guilty pleasures here.  Shopping.  I take SM's 3-Day-SALE seriously.  It's like an important life event, well at least in the shopping calendar.  Would you agree that any woman would faint if given a million to spend to shop til she drops?  But since I am not in slumber, of course I don't have a million (but I still wish I do!), I just have a decent shopping money and I want to make sure I use it wisely and stretch the budget so I could fill my loot with inexpensive but quality merchandise.

But where will you get quality merchandise at a low price?  Of course during mall SALEs!  That's why I take advantage of this and make sure I saved up for it.  Hence, shopping is just a semi-guilty pleasure for me because I don't really splurge without thinking or planning.  Recently SM City Sta. Mesa had its 3-Day SM Store Sale.  Hubby and I have been waiting for this because the house needs a little re-decorating and our kids, like balloons, had grown bigger in a span of a year and need wardrobe size updating.

Just to share, here are my wonderful and practical shopping finds:

My shopping finds at SM Store totaled to Php 4,575.00!  If I had not been patient enough to wait for the sale season, all these merchandise would have costed me Php 7,678.50!  I saved Php 3,103.50, not bad right?  Not bad at all! :)

I love shopping!  But I love it more when I am able to stretch my shopping budget a lot more when it's SALE!  Do you also feel the same way loves?  So happy about my shopping loot!
