Aneshka's useless rants

*posting while trying not to nod off..forgive the grammatical errors*

I hate Mondays!!! I usually don't get much sleep on sunday evenings so I would feel really groogy the next day. Ok enough grumbling.

I think I have another new addiction, coupons and discount, last night we went to Kohl's to buy me some maternity clothes and guess what I ended up with not a single piece of clothing while Yiek ended up with two pairs of Levis Jeans, 6 pairs of Dockers socks and a polo shirt. I tell you everytime we go shopping he does not go home without something for himself and well, I'd always end up empty handed. He reasoned that he can finally have clothes that fit him to a "T", with his height(6 Ft) it was always difficult for him to buy the right length back home but here, all brands have his size so lucky lucky him while I have the opposite of that here, I can't seem to find the right size! It's usually too big for me even though its the smallest size I can ever find. I'd usually shop at the teen section where they carry my sizes. I'd get all frustrated when shopping for clothes therefore I'd always end up empty handed.

Now, this isn't my topic mind you, just some a pre-topic LOL! Well, those Levis pants did not come cheap so when the lady offered me a 30% discount just for signing up to their credit card, I took the offer right away. Luckily I got approved with good credit limit to boot and she told us that we can get any items at the store just that night for 30% off, any items even sale and clearance items. Hey! 30% is a good, good deal and they were having Columbus day sale on that day so we scrounge the store. I really, really wanted the vacuum cleaner which was on sale from 219 to 139 + 30% off, I can get it at 100 BUT Yiek was a spoil sport saying that he's not sure of the brand and it might not be of good quality. Huhuhuhu! napapaginipan ko pa rin yung vacuum hanggang ngayon. Since I also wanted a blender we found a Hamilton blender and chopper initially at $50 - 30% = 35, but I was gritting my teeth at the unplanned purchase so I placed it back. Goodbye 30% discount. Ooohh, I surfed the net when we got home and it turned out the vacuum that I wanted was one of the best and well known brands. Waaah! I could have killed Yiek with my bare hands.

Now, I'm busy surfing the net for coupons and got amazed at how some people save 30% off their grocery purchases. I subscribed to our local newspaper where they said I can get coupons every Sunday and department store flyers too! Hopefully, I can save big bucks. This bitch is a sale and clearance addict, I don't and will never buy items at regular price. Last year I got a bed-in-a-bag item for $30 bucks (around 1400 sa pinas) cheap eh, it comes with a comforter, 2 pillow cases, 2 shams, bed skirt, fitted sheet and bed sheet. Not bad at 200 thread count at that, all because it was on sale and I got a $10 coupon (a random kind lady gave it to me). This Saturday I'll be going to babies 'r us to register in their registry(how weird is this sentence) and I have a coupon for a free welcome gift. The welcome gift consists of an Avent feeding bottle, diapers, wipes and other items. I LOVE this country when it comes to sales, coupons and freebies. O.A. hehehe.

Now, I'm really really excited for Thanksgiving to come, a.k.a. Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving here is the biggest sale event! I got a mixer and coffeemaker for $3(140 petot) each last year. There were also digicams for sale at around 4,000 pesos each at 5MP its a very, very good deal. Hopefully this year, we can get dirt cheap items. I'm looking to purchasing a new videocam, portable dvd player, vacuum cleaner (grr! I still cannot forgive Yiek for not letting me buy the vacuum yesterday) and baby items. Warning though, for big ticket items like plasma screen, Playstations, Video cams, the line can get looonng. Stores start opening at 5:00 am and lines start at 12:00 am or earlier. Hopefully, those items that we really want will still be available. Last year we woke up at 4:30 am just to get the items that we wanted (way ligoay diretso shopping). Early birds get the worms.
