this is my first trip to a mega sale
Popular Bookstore Mega Sale
wow, it was a big conventional hall
big mistake, I went there during peak hour
massive human traffic jam and so many things to see
my first stop was at the Wimpy Kid section
..........i couldn't find it
had to ask a salesman's help
i took three nice Wimpy Kid books as gifts for my students' good performance at a competition
it's also the first time me seeing Wimpy Kid books without plastic cover wrap
some of them already had dog ears
then I saw classical CDs with good bargain prices
I took four
I went to the stationary area, to the sticker station
good bargain again, I took ten
I saw pencil cases for RM2.00
I almost wanted to take nine when I stop, whip out my phone calculator and start adding up my basket
gosh, I had about RM200 in my basket already
this is the trick of mega sales
it doesn't lure you by marking down the price tag but by buying ten at RM15.00 (actual price one for RM3.90)
it's like, ah, good deal man..after a while, if you don't budget, especially if you have credit card, you'll overspend
I brought about RM250.00 with me, overspending is out of the picture, I didn't bring my ATM card too
Moral of the story : be a wise shopper
**ps, even the Scrabble set normal price RM99.80 now RM69.90, I was tempting to buy as a gift for my cousin..........the mould and paint set one for RM21.90 now two for RM39.90.................I had to quickly move out to the cashier
