Black Friday Sale - Survived!

 Assalamualaikum,

Today, I nak share berkenaan Black Friday Sale.

Haritu baru je sale 11.11, nie pulak Black Friday and kebetulan sale pulak betul-betul lepas gaji. The best part is, gaji I pun masuk one day early that usual date! I guess, company nak menggerakkan ekonomi syarikat which is they want their staff to shop at their mall before Christmas.

Apa yang I nak share for this Black Friday Sale is, I managed not to buy anything. I bukan lah memboikot this sale. But bulan ni, my budget has burst and I have spent almost within my budget.

Tak kan tak ada nak beli apa-apa kan?

Yes, I ada nak beli during that sale.

Actually, I nak beli this Lego Mario Set for my son. 

My husband lah yang suka survey benda-benda macam nie, and he found that online is cheaper than physical store. Lagipun I pun mmg dah check Lego di Sunway Pyramid last week. The sales lady told me, Mario set tak ada promotion for Christmas promotion. My hub plak worried that the set will out of stock since it is Mario kan? His birthday plak on Jan. So dia pun kalut. Mak nye pun add la to cart dulu so I can monitor the price. Tetiba on that Friday, Lego Official Store di Shopee anta satu msg -  'special price end tonight'.. huhuhu. terus I jadi kalut. Terus buat pre closing haritu jugak lah.

Before that particular day, I memang dah decide nak beli this month since money that I allocate for him ada banyak lagi tak digunakan sebab ada diskaun from his school. Tapi, at the same time, budget I have allocated for other category banyak dah overspent. So I really need to check back how much I have spend this month before I need to decide nak beli ke tak.

Selain tu, I pun tengah fikir - nak beli sekarang ke? nak guna credit card or cash? That day dah guna credit card bayar their clinic fees and I need to really spent wisely using my credit card till I received my credit card statement. Kalau cash pulak, macam allocation bulan 11 dah banyak terlebih belanja, I need to calculate total spend baru tahu how much I have spent this month. That is why I need to review my spending before purchase.

I pun kiralah total spend malam tu jugak. Kena siapkan sebelum pukul 12, sebab nak takut harga Mario set habis. Lepas siap buat, I boleh simpulkan, I tak boleh spend much till 1st December 2020. So I have made decision, I cannot purchase this for my son for the time being until I review balik my expenditure this December. Either using credit card or cash. Nanti I fikir balik.

Banyakkan I nak fikir sebelum nak beli barang during sale? Sebab now is really a good time for me to control my spending. Apa yang I boleh control for the time being, I akan control since I dah boleh keep track my spending, I berjaya buat budget and so on. Pray me hard!

Thank you for your time!
