Broke

I hate to admit that I have near zero discipline when it comes to shopping (broadly defined as buying clothes, books and frivolous stuff). Set out for town early today with the good intention of returning library books, buying bday cards and attending the Topshop sale preview for members. The sale was disappointingly limited (remnants of size 12s and 14s). I managed to sieve out a top (50% off) BUT FORGOT to use my Wisma cash vouchers to pay.

En route to Taka, I couldn't resist popping into Esprit for a quick look. Instead of getting a free camera pouch (fully redeemed), I walked out with a dress! Arrgghh. Feeling extremely guilty that my trip is not turning out the way it should, I headed to Taka without further distractions. Then I discovered that Kino is having a storewide 20% discount for members! I had to buy a book. Time to burn my loyalty cards!

Agitation aside, I'm pleased that I remembered to bring my eco-friendly shopping bag out. Plastic bag count today = zero! Felt a little self-conscious when other customers gave me weird looks when I refused a carrier but at least my shopping bag is genuine (and unique) and does not bear the words "I'm Not a Plastic Bag".
