I went to the Farmer’s Market last weekend and man, talk about a never-ending choice of locally grown fruits, vegetables and flowers. Absolutely love the burst of color.
I couldn’t resist buying lots of fruits and veggies. They are all farm fresh and so inexpensive who can resist. I love going there and am thinking of making it a weekly event.
Related PostsI think I’ve just about had it with weekend shopping. The crazy parking and crowds are really getting to me. I like the thrill of seeing things and trying out things at the mall. But I may soon have to resolve to shopping online due to the stress of weekend shopping.
If I need a pair of shoes, I could just go to ShopWiki which does all the price comparisons for me instead of me fighting the crowds to do it myself at the mall. And you know shoes are one thing that really takes time to seek out.
For me, the hardest thing to buy is sports shoes because they’re all so expensive which means I’m not just looking at comfort and design but also at pricing. I think it would be so much easier to just go online and have all that hard work done for me.
Related PostsI can’t believe we went shopping again. What, more retail therapy?! You’d better believe it. There’s a mall downtown which we used to frequent years ago but don’t any more. Well, we rediscovered the place and it’s bursting with cute stuff.
My teens are so excited at the amazing range of shoes and clothes there that they’ve begged me to take them back there again this weekend! We didn’t really have time to try on the clothes today because we had to rush back to pick up my other kid. So yep, you know where to find us this weekend 
!
Woot, the weekend is finally here again. So happy I got my groceries done early this week and managed to avoid the weekend rush. The only problem with shopping on a Friday though is that much of the produce has not been stocked yet and I couldn’t even find a decent potato as the baskets were empty. Can you believe that! Finally I left without getting everything I needed. What a bummer!
Related PostsMy dad and his friends love hanging out at the mall. At their age, they just want to pass the time of day taking it easy. So the mall is where he heads every morning to meet up with his old foggies. They will pass the time of day at the mall, eating, drinking tea, window-shopping and chatting about everything.
Health is apparently one of their favorite topics, probably inspired by some of the group members who go online and find out information about food choices, medical supplies such as kendall briefs and vitamins, and updates the whole group with their findings. It’s amazing how much these old folks know about health. I think they easily put us all to shame

An entire morning of shopping has left me completely zonked out today. There’s a huge sale going on and I only shop when the sales are on. I don’t believe in paying retail price if I can help it. Working from home and managing a household means I have to tighten my purse strings whenever possible.
This morning, I was like a child in a toy store. I had so many things on my list especially clothing. But clothing is probably the hardest to buy since I’m quite picky and the lines are long at both the fitting rooms and at checkout. So I ended up spending on every other thing but clothing, which wasn’t how I’d planned it!! But so be it. At least I enjoyed the retail therapy.
Related PostsOver the Chinese New Year season, I met many relatives I haven’t seen in a long time and one of them is a cousin who recently graduated as a doctor. Wow, talk about the bold and the brainy!
She was telling us about her course and her new job, showing us photos of her at work conducting her rounds and so on. And what really surprised me was the clothes she was wearing which don’t resemble anything a doctor normally wears. Man, those koi uniforms are in bright prints and ever so chic I would never have known she’s a doctor!
Apparently these days, medical professionals have turned fashionable wearing these brightly colored koi scrubs at work. Even the koi scrub pants are in bright plain colors. I’m shocked and impressed! They look like something you would wear to lunch with a girl friend, not to a medical job, know what I mean?
It’s almost revolutionary, I say, seeing as how we’ve always equated medical professionals with rather drab colors. Obviously I was curious as to where she gets this fashionable attire and she says she and her colleagues get their stuff from Scrubs and Beyond. So yeah, it’s all good!
I’ve recently had to spend money on a new washing machine and obviously I’m none too happy about the expense. If I’d had more time to shop around, I might’ve saved some money and time.
If my kitchen sink should break down, I know just the place where I won’t have to pay through my nose for undermount kitchen sinks! Mr Direct does same day deliveries and they’re a trusted source for their brand of kitchen sinks.
I’m just happy I found out about them so I can keep them on file just in case. Working from home means I have a tight budget to keep so whenever I find a great source for stuff I might need, in it goes into my favorites folder
