how to save money...
for a bottle of GATSBY hairwax... it's cheaper at NTUC fairprice... and i found it out the hard way... i paid an extra $1.70 else where. damn it!!!
shavers and shaving blades are like printers and ink cartidges... the disposable item is more expensive. it cost 5 dollars for a packet of Gillette Contour Plus that has 5 blades. if u have to shave every day, u'll most probably change the blade every week. ( i change mine every 2 weeks coz i shave every alternate day) there are other shaving blades like Mach 3, Excel... which are more expensive. given that there are 52 weeks per year, that works out to 52 dollars spent on shaving blade every year.
it's like if u buy a can of drink every day instead of drinking plain water, u spent an extra dollar a day. in a year, that's a total of 365 dollars. u can do quite alot with 365 dollars. u can buy a pair of jeans and 1-2 nice shirts, go for a short holiday or cruise, buy a nice watch, buy 1-2 nice pair of shoes, change handphone...
here are some suggestions to save money:
1. not ordering any drinks during a meal is almost impossible... so u can start by ordering only 1 drink per meal! (u can save bout $400 a year)
2. every day when u go home, put all ur loose change into a mug or something. fill that coffee mug with 1-dollar coins! (u can save bout $200 a year)
3. buy things that you really NEED!!! think thrice before u buy anything don't buy something becoz it's cheap and it's a good deal. know EXACTLY what you need and what you wanna buy. window-shop for the particular item over 3 seperate days and places. and if during the 3rd trip, you still feel a need and urge to buy the item, it's most probably something that you need. haha. (u can save bout $50-$1000) hahaha
this is getting dumb... i don't want to write anymore... zzzz
