Since I am awake and can't sleep, I figured I would go ahead and get this post written out and posted.
As I have said before, I use my side hustle game earnings to order stuff so that I don't have to use any actual earnings from freelance or other work.
It's just about Christmas time, and it is for sure time for us to start shopping so the last two orders I have placed have been for Xmas stuff.
But this order I did order myself something.
I spent a whopping $3.21 on this order. This was with shipping. I am a big fan of any of the deal apps and Ali Express just happens to have Deal Days going right now. I got a coupon for 3 items for three dollars and made the order just a few minutes ago. I will post what I got everything for, and then what they usually retail for on Ali Express and compare how much money I saved.
So without further Ado, here goes.
1. The first thing I ordered was for myself. I am not expecting a lot of quality but unti we can afford better rings we have been wearing rubber ones from Walmart. Mine are starting to wear and stretch and fall off, so when I saw this set I figured to give it a shot. It's cubic zirconia and I am not expecting a lot, but if they can last till the end of the year when I get my end of the year payment from one of the freelance companies I work for. This set will do. I paid a whopping $0.56 cents on. The normal price for this is $4.11, so that's a savings of <bold> $3.55
2. She child loves the Squish mallow line of toys. All of the squishy toys, so when I Saw this seal I knew she needed it for a stocking stuffer. It's not a squishmallow, but its adorable and I know shes going to love how far it is. Even if it isn't that big. It is about the size of some of her smaller Squishmallows. I spent a whopping $1.21 on this toy. The normal price for this is $6.14 so that's a savings of $4.93
3. The last item in this 3 for 3 deal is a Dazzle Crackle Bluetooth speaker. She loves music and has been using my phone a lot. We are trying her out with it to see if she can be responsible enough with a phone to get her own, so I figured a Bluetooth speaker of her own would be a good choice for Christmas. Again, we want to try her out and see if she can be responsible with something. So that's why I went this route. It is so cute in my opinion, and for $1.44, you can't beat that deal. The normal price on this is $7.43, so that's a savings of $5.99
So while not a HUGE savings. I did save a total of $14.47
I think I did pretty good, and I haven't been let down with anything from Ali Express so far. So in about two weeks we will see. I should have an order being delivered from them tomorrow or the next day. I will be sure to let you know how those products turn out. I'm pretty sure the three things in the order that should be here in the next couple days are all Christmas presents for she child too. The next order I place will be stuff for he child.
What's the last good deal you got?
Was it as good as this one?
