It's my tradition to shop every payday. And now that I've got my 1st salary with my new job, I never let go of the chance to shop for new stuff. In fact, every single item I bought was planned and had some stories behind them. Whenever I shop on a limited budget, I always see to it that I get to buy the best stuff at the best prices. The brand is not actually not an issue. It's my goal to maximize every single peso.
The first thing I bought were undies. And the reason why I bought these was because of my lola's "pamahiin". She instructed me to buy a pair of undies on my 1st salary because it would make me hardworking and be more patient with my job. Well just to please her, I bought these. It was my first time to buy undies here 'coz it's my aunts in Japan & the US who always send me my undies. I just chose Bench because it's the cheapest haha!=)) Got them for P430.Then there was this 50% off SALE on bags at SM Department Store, so my bestfriend and I bought one black bag each. I planned to buy a black bag because most of my bags were white. Well there were lots of nice black bags but we settled for the cheapest. haha! Got these bags from Secosana at P390.
Then I searched for high-heeled shoes. I always wanted to buy a pair of shoes at Syrup, People are People but that was during the time I wasn't employed yet so I can't spend that much. But now that I've got money, I went to the shop and was pleased to find it there, still available after 2-3 months since I last saw it at another branch! haha! Unfortunately, the EPS didn't work so I had use my credit card instead of my debit card. I was so happy after buying it! I finally got it after a few months of waiting haha.=)) P1,500 for this pair.
Then as always, every first salary with every job, I always treat my bestfriend for dinner. So after shopping, we went to Pizza Hut Bistro. I spent about P500. Sorry but I was too hungry to take photos of our food. haha!
The next day, we went back to Glorietta to search for flats but I ended up buying at Landmark where there was a SALE on shoes. I got a pair of flats for P380 and slippers for P260.
We also dropped by the bazaar outside Glorietta where I was able to buy a semi-formal dress for only P250! Good thing I was able to control myself in buying a party dress worth P700 at the bazaar. But I swear, it was really nice. I just didn't know where and when to wear it that's why I didn't buy it.
And my payday shopping total was less than P4,000 (including food & transpo). hahaha!=))
I promise to save my next salary.=P
