Tis The Season To Be Spending... Fa La La La

Terrible, terrible! I'm sooo guilty! Due to the decrease in wages, I've been spending much lesser than before. But I still maintain my previous savings amount so I have lesser spending amount. It doesn't bother me much coz shopping has never been my interest. I only enjoy shopping for groceries. I borrow most of the books I read from the library, rent VCDs (4 shows for $10) & watch my anime online. I used to buy but I guess I've started to realise that all these take up too much space & will continue to if I continue buying. It's so difficult to get rid of coz nobody wants to buy & it's too wasteful to throw away. The only option left is to give away. So better not to buy.

Been wanting to buy a book (Herbs For Pets) recommended by Iris long time ago but haven't been actively searching for it. I did a search for it in amazon today & it costs US$19.77 excluding shipping. Since I'm ordering, I sinfully did a search for my favourite Charmed. I'm only left with season 6 to 8 to complete the series. This is an absolute favourite so I'm buying. The exchange rate today is 1.438. To save money, I chose the ship in 1 shipment (normal) option. Expected date of delievery is 4th to 12th Feb. There're other shipping options that lets me receive the items faster but they also cost much much more so that's out. Total cost including shipping comes up to US$166.69 which when converted using 1.5 (always better to calculate more than less), it's about $250 which is a steal. Coz when buying Charmed in Singapore, 1 season will cost $90+. The book price in Kinno is $54+, which means I got 3 seasons of Charmed for less than $200. Yeah!

As many of you know, Ton Ton has been having a bout of tear staining, something that has not happened since I tried & stopped TW kibbles more than 1.5 years ago. So I'm hoping that a change in the diet will eliminate the problem. I'm going to finish off the remaining supplements then convert to using herbs. This is where the book comes in. I do believe that even if it doesn't help in the tear stains, it'll help to boost their health & hopefully giving them longer, healthier lives.
