great deals and a fiver tag
Rinnah passed on this brilliant deal just a few days a go, A Penny Saved, from her Marketplace. What’s the best bargain you’ve ever got for $10? A perfect tag for a shop-a-holic like me!
There are loads of things I could get for $10 here, but I have to say I’m torn between 2 very recent choices:
Bargain 1: $8.00 for a light blue Bonds bra and 2 Jox by Jocky thongs from Myer’s mid-season sale. Quality cotton underwear for a fraction of the original price! And I still have $2 to spare.
Bargain 2: $9.95 for a pair of striped PJ shorts from Sussans. With Summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect thing to sleep in during those warm nights.

Name something you have bought that was worth every penny you spent, and add it to the list below. Feel free to spice it up with a photo or two. The catch is that the amount must not exceed 10 units in whatever currency you are using, e.g. If you shop in Malaysia, list down something good you’ve bought for RM10 or less. If you shop in US, list down something you’ve purchased for RM10 or less.
1. Gorgeous ethnic earrings from Beadszone (3 pairs for RM10) - Kaki Shopping
2. Time Stops For No Mouse (book) from Borders @ RM10 - Rinnah’s Marketplace
3. Underwear and PJ shorts below $10 each - little miss may

So tell me, what bargains did you get for $10?

Wow.. you can definitely buy more with AUD10 than RM10.. Hee hee.. best deal we always have is able to buy DVDs for RM10 or less than that.
Btw, you have a dog before wut.. what do you mean you’d always wanted to have a dog? You mean it can be something even if you’d done it?
Tags… I so long never do liao.. Ok ok.. must go and do some.
Acknowledge the tag.
Some parts of Facebook are getting a little old. But I think I shall never tire of Scrabulous.

wow.. great deals. (!!!) see no evil. *closes eyes. didn’t see that blu bonds soft soft thingy picture.
keeping plants alive eh? i am pro at killing them. lol. seriouly i am. lol. i just battled with a small jungle behind my house last month. now, not ever a single sprout will grow for the next 10 years!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!
oooo… nice undies
paeng leng cheng!
Chen - if I were in US, of course I’d list US$10 deals! but since I’m in Oz, I list AU$10 lor… simple rule, yea? RM10 can buy lots of things wan! 2 bowls of assam laksa at least. or a few packs of fake tattoos.
ehon - it’s back to being a little cooler here now, thank goodness. must’ve been a warm surge last week that made us sweat like pigs! still no rain, though. and I’m already wearing shorts around the house.
Everyday Healy - eh? what was only 3 and now 5? I catch no ball wor. my eyes also open big big ‘cos no understand… O.o
Kikare - that’s how I feel about Friendster now! those were the days, when getting as many “friends” was the trend. ahhh, but Facebook is a little more sophisticated than that, though the applications could just be childish fun. try it! *grin*
moz - I had lah, those that you apply using a wee bit of water. can’t chose my own design though… LOL! stuck with an awful skull! I’m getting lazy again, don’t know why. maybe no dive after all. maybe next year…
Wennnn - of course must tag you, Khai Jie! long time no see you do tag wor. which tag do you owe me? I also forgot liao, hahaha! do 2-in-1, ok?
Carrie - RM10 can buy one disposable diaper at least, no? maybe a bib for your girl, or a pair of socks… can buy stuff lah, just not at a bargain price!
Giddy Tiger - no need to wait, my dear. get it from Uncle Joe - downloads a-plenty! YATTAAAA now!!
laundryamah - yerrr, I miss shopping with you leh! go here go there, see this see that… I love seeing you carry all your loot. oh wait, make that, I love seeing Mr. D carrying all your loot! LOLOL!
Pinkelle - Sussans is my favourite place for PJs. simply the sweetest colours and designs! and furry slippers too, and hot water bottle covers. totally funky!
friend of jo - I got a basic yellow tank top from another shop for really cheap - $7.50. anything else would just be too pricey to wear to sleep, might as well wear it out then! heheh!
cutie - haaa, next time I wear when I bunk over at your place, ya? for your eyes only… kehehehe!
doreen - a little impractical to get a dog for now, especially since I’m alone and no one would be home to take care of the pup while I’m working. and no time to house-train them too! poo here pee there… ermmm, I think I’ll let it remain as a passing thought for now.
winn - why hold your horse?! must let go! fart it out! sit low-low in horse stance, very good for digestion wan…
I dowan to adopt dogs in FB. I wanna make babies! you wanna make baby with me anot? I’ll leave DomDom to Liucas, dowan to steal his gf la… kekekeke!
camera not always in bag, too heavy. got lousy camera on phone as emergency. not powerful though. how? like that lor…
zara’s mama - hey, DVDs are always a great deal, especially if it’s a good movie! they cost more than $10 here, for the popular ones.
yea I do have a dog, but not here in Sydney, and not really of my own. the pooch we have at home in KL is more like a family dog, every has a share of her. I want one for me me me! all mine mine mine! and the poo and pee too…
haaaa, do this tag!!
SA - yea, I go through and “throw out” the older applications that are just sitting there, cluttering up the place. and those huge Wall posts are just so space-consuming! I need a vacuum cleaner to suck up all the stale apps… *puts on a robe and a maid’s hat*
sengkor - RM10 for a cup of coffee definitely not worth it lei! you kena TI(P)U!!
steve - LOLOL!! I think you’re the only one who’s shy about seeing it. or should I say, sharp enough to see it!
I’ve had a few plants die on me, but the other half is still alive and well. another 2 are hanging on the edge — I’d probably throw them out this weekend if they still look sick. ermmmm… I’d better not give you my plants to babysit then! eek!
JL - your Kah Jie got taste leh! hahaha! yau peng, yau jeng!
wah very nicely done…i have exactly what you have in my bag and my wallet!!! Go the Eclipse mint!!! yummm
