Spend While We Can?

Tweet

My preparation for the gifts I will be giving to children in my list turned out well but I experienced minor tiredness because I need to go shopping at mall. It was a relief to complete it yesterday. I was planning that ahead of time and the original plan was to buy it online so that no more hassle going to shops at this busy time but the shipping fee is not lumped. Instead, they’re imposing separate shipping for each item as I have mentioned in my previous post. It hurts on my budget so it was not pushed through. It is noticeable (not surprising) how the prices of toys and other items increased compared to last year but no way to turned back because you need to make it through. No more complaining and just spend what I can. I think, this time the prices of fruits will be rising also aside from the usual. Vendors knew that people would spend their money for these items so it is expected that they would marked it up higher than the average. Here, it is a tradition to some if not all to have 13 kinds of fruits prepared for New Year and it is a good way for vendors to earn more money at least for this time. Last year, grapes were sold 300-350 Php per kilo (about 7 USD) but on December 31st last year, it was sold 500-600. That was almost double. It’s likely the same for this year. Photo Credit:pixabay.com
