good deal again!

I worked again half day yesterday. Hubby picked me up from work and our plan is to go straight to the grocery but we're starving already so we grab a bite from the fast food near the grocery.
After doing groceries, I needed to go to the washroom but I don't want to use the one inside the grocery so we went to Sears outlet near the grocery. Of course we have to go around the store since we are in it already.
We looked around at the furniture section and we found a dresser which is exactly the match of our bed frame. We cannot buy a full bedroom set before because it is so expensive . We had only a bedframe. So when I saw the dresser I was delighted and excited since it's 50% off the original price. But I was hesitant in buying it since it was to big. My hubby told me that it is a good deal already and matched with our bed frame. I looked around and saw a night stand which matched also. It is exactly the same night stand we saw when we bought the bed frame. Yey! I -have -found- my -night- stand! And it is more than 50% off! We didn't think twice of buying it but of course we checked for some damage. We talked to the salesperson, she said to avail of the sale price, we had to apply for a Sears card. I mentioned before that we had some trouble of applying for this card since it's asking for credit background. Read credit card. I applied again to avail of the sale price. The salesperson processed it and within 15 minutes of filling up a form and some information, it was approved right away! No questions asked unlike before. We went home with our new night stand.

boxing day

When I first came to Canada, I was wondering what's in "boxing day?"
I thought it's a boxing day literally, you know with the gloves and everything since in the Philippines boxing is really famous- Manny Pacquiao mania.

Last Sunday is my second boxing day experience. My hubby and I had a "date" as my in-laws call it because the kids are left with them. A "date" on boxing day? So romantic, huh? :))

Yey! I was more excited because I don't have kids to worry about! NO whining, no complaining, no "again?", no "I'm hungry", no "I have to go to the washroom".

So many people, no parking, cold but what you expect, it's boxing day!

We went only to some stores but don't have a specific item to buy. But one store that made hubby and I satisfied- Reebok outlet store. I told my hubby I want to go there but at first he doesn't want to. Since he doesn't have a choice, he joined me.
Too many people inside and it's like a jungle here. Shoes on the floor everywhere and a long line at the cashier. Hmm, what's happening here?

This is the reason why:



We both got a pair of running shoes for $25 and $30 each. A really great price. And off we go.

What have you got from boxing day?

gps

We bought a GPS last July 17. We thought we did not need one. But we want to explore places and it's so hard to read the map. And we decided to have one. We bought ours from Future shop - $69.99 on sale, TomTom brand but refurbished. Normally prices of GPS ranges to $100-$300, that's why before we don't buy one. Asked some questions about how it works and what's the difference between refurbished and not refurbished.

We tried it and oohh... it's better than the map! after exploring and trying we saw ourselves already heading to harbour front in downtown. My husband is not really familiar with the streets in downtown and GPS really helped him a lot! So we reached harbour front easily parked and headed to centre island. Stayed there for 3 hrs. We enjoyed the place and we're coming back definitely.

And with the help of the mighty GPS, we easily got home without hassle. Thanks GPS, and I think this a good decision and good buy, too.
