Shopping till I drop....

I went for shopping for the festival tomorrow. And after I was done with grocery, I went for clothes for my children. I got a good discount and really found some casual and ethnic wears. I shopped for more than Rs.3000 and that won me a gift too. A free gift of essential oil, fragrance candles and a sandalwood soap bar and it is worth Rs 1000.
You can see the free gift neatly wrapped in the hexagon box.
So I had some good deal. For myself I got two shoes.
So I had a good shopping experience with all discounts and free gift.
How is it at your end??

You can enjoy these two days. Even I prefer to stay at home in such situation.

That freebie is very nice. This is like Christmas where we buy new clothes for all family members.

Yes we all get new clothes. In morning we will play colors on some old clothes. After taking bath we all will wear these new ones.
We do exchange sweets and delicacies with others but no gifts like Christmas. These clothes are only for household.

Even I do online because of the convenience. But I enjoy it if I have a good company. Yesterday I had my friend with me. So it was sort of outing for us. And good thing is that this mall is just 5 minutes walk from my place.

You did very well, although I don't know what Rs converts to in US dollars.
I'm leaving later with my husband to go to my favorite department store to pick up the items I pre-ordered at a store event last week. Today the store is serving champagne and giving out gift cards depending on the amount of my purchases. They also put many samples in my bags, including a full size bottle of perfume. I have more shopping to do today. Fun day ahead!!!

@arunima25 Wow! That is very reasonable. I won't even tell you how much one lipstick costs.

Wow! That sounds like a big shopping plan. I am sure you are going to grab some gift cards too.

Yes and so I picked up few things which were not needed now but were on discount[em]lol[/em
It is a very relaxing and soothing scent from those candles. I am yet to use the sandalwood soap bar.

Do you think that free gifts are actually free or their price is included in the products we buy?

I already got those at discount rates. Yes nothing comes for free and there is always a business involved. But I felt things were reasonable for the quality. And this cosmetic products are something that is a new launch and these freebies might be a way to promote them.
But I was at win win situation as a shopper.

I mostly do online shopping these days. I find it more comfortable and with a wider choice.

I also do online shopping especially with the gift vouchers that I get from survey sites.This mall is 5 minutes away and so I don't mind visiting it. Sometimes they have good exhibition. And I can always window shop there whenever I visit the multiplex theater there.
