Clever Buy deals

Tweet

Since I already started dissecting group buying sites, here's another one from the Philippines.

Clever Buy

Be Clever! Pay Less.

How it works

Most of their deals are vacation packages which I wanted but got no time. I'll check later for other items.

CashCashPinoy Deals

Tweet

One of the group buying sites in the Philippines.

CashCashPinoy offers the most tempting deals (IMO) ranging from food and drinks, wellness and beauty, vacation and travel, liesure and lifestyle, fashion and clothing, etc.

How it works?

I said tempting because I really want to get these deals

P395 for P700 worth of food at Elias (tempting foods!)

P777 for Retro Pop Handset (I gotta have this!)

P2499 for overnight stay at Chateau Royale, Tagaytay for 4 pax

(I want but need to confirm might conflict with our Boracay trip)

Group Buying: Deal or No Deal?

Tweet

I am aware of group buying sites but never really took much interest into it. That is until recently. I had couple of friends, one in Philippines and another here in Dubai whom shared good deals that they got through those sites.

So I registered in a few like Groupon and Cobone here in Dubai. I bought one Groupon voucher for an Indian restaurant, although the food was great I didn't like the initial discussion with the restaurant staff. He was insisting that the voucher worth 100 AED was to be consumed by one person. We were 3 pax and even a 4th person can still share with the food we later ordered. I couldn't blame Groupon for the not so good experience, maybe the restaurant staff was just ignorant of the deal itself (I convinced myself that's the case). Still that was my first and last experience as of date. 

But by next week, my friend got us another deal this time from Cobone and will be sharing our yatch experience later on.

Now I am checking deals offered in the Philippines for my coming vacation this April. Alas, I found a lot of sites offering various deals from food, travel, relaxation, stuffs, etc. I also read negative feedback on some.

So which is a good deal and a bad deal?

Kate Moss Lipstick Collection

Tweet

I made a lot of purchases during the last days of DSF that I haven’t blogged about. This is one of those, these lipsticks are marked 25% off at Lifestyle, Reef Mall so I bought 3 for my mom and her 2 sisters (my aunts). I don’t know which color to choose so I just bought the ones suggested by the beauty consultant.

Shopping for Kids Clothes

Tweet

My Godchild (inaanak) from my BFF will be celebrating her 3rd birthday on 11th of Feb, so I checked different stores for kids clothing. I usually buy clothes as a gift especially if it's for a girl, I enjoy dressing them up. And since I didn't approve of my BFF's choice of her daughter's dress last year (I was not alone), I told her I'll buy the dress this time.

Mothercare

Carter's

Mom&Me

Hello Kitty dress from H&M

Lady Bug from Mom&Me

I first saw the Hello Kitty dress from H&M, I liked it but it's so ordinary. And when I saw this Lady Bug dress from Mom&Me, I immediately decided on this one. I like the black and red combination (classic) and the petticoat underneath the skirt.

Oh, I bought this on the last day of Dubai Shopping Festival so I got a good discount.

My Sketchers Tone Ups

Tweet

I finally decided on my new training shoes!

On my last post I was torn between a Sketchers Shape Ups or Reebok Easy Tone. My friend also wanted to buy Sketchers so we agreed on the brand. Now on the design, Shape Ups are more curvy on the sole which might be a problem when I do cardio work outs. I later on decided on this new Sketchers design which is called Tone Ups Run. It is perfect for running (treadmills) and other cardio work outs (elliptical, group exercise) since the sole is only slightly curved.

The comfort and support of RESALYTE
Ultra lightweight propriety midsole material utilizes memory retention for responsive shock absorption and dynamic rebound. It's the next step in running.

The limitless experience of Multi Flex
Deep grooves in the outsole allow freedom of forward and lateral barefoot movement. It's motion with infinite possibility.

Here's my Tone Ups

My friend's Shape Ups

 We got it on sale, still part of Dubai Shopping Festival.

Want to buy another one, panic buying?
