Thrifty buyer

I wear Clarks to work… and clarks is so expensive in Malaysia

RM300 gitu for a pair of shoes…?

Now I’ll show you how to be a thrify shopper..

Jimat duit… and still get the shoes/handbag that you want…

First of all, join this website – MR REBATES  http://www.mrrebates.com?refid=406432

Rebates mean.. you buy something.. then you get cash back in return….

Website ni actually for US shoppers…. Die akan send cheques ..

Tapi kat website ni… you can withdraw to paypal….so takde masalah…

I linked up my Malaysian paypal to this… and berjaya je dapat duit

Kena kumpul untuk USD10, baru boleh bawak duit kuar la…

USD 10 tu takde la banyak sgt.. so it is sangat doable…. Especially if rajin nyopping overseas stuff.

Dulu-dulu.. kalau shopping kat ebay … pon dapat cash back kat mrrebates… tapi now ebay dah putus saudara kot.. shopping kat ebay, tak dapat rebates kat Mrrebates dah sobss…. ebay came up with their own ebay bucks … their own cash back system… aku join gak ni…

On a separate note… meh aku citer pasal website endless.com

They sell shoes and handbags and watches and accessories… mmg endless la pilihan…

Clarks banyak choices kat situ and sentiasa on sale…

Pastu pulak… die bagi free shipping INTERNATIONALLY if beli barang berharga USD100 and above.

So you buy 3-4 pair of clarks, dah dapat free shipping…..

Or carik kawan utk combine order .. dapatla shipping free…. Bukan pos biasa keh..

Tapi DHL ke FEDEX.. lupa lak aku.. by courier ….

Kalau ko beli over USD125, die bagi shipping free yg lagi laju… ie in 5-7 days dah sampai Mesia…

Normal shipping 7-10 days..

Currently kat mrrebates, kalau shopping kat endless.com… akan dapat 10% cash back…

So if shopping USD 100, ko dapat cashback USD10…… boleh laa tu kan?

Caranye…

1. Join Mr. Rebates as aku citer tu… register la etc… http://www.mrrebates.com?refid=40643

2. surf la endless.com tu …. Fikir siap2 ape nak beli

3. Lepas dah tau ape nak beli… masuk www.mrrebates.com  login… pastu ko Nampak screen ni…

4. Lepas tu ko gi upper left corner….. search untuk endless.com camni…

5. Lepas tu ko akan Nampak screen ni…. Tekan kat link endless.com 

6. kau akan automatically di-direct to website endless.com… window kecik (untitled) tu boleh tutup…

7. shopping dalam tempoh masa yg tak lama sangat … checkout cam biasa … if gi tido 2-3 jam…. Baru nak bayar/checkout purchase, mungkin tak dikira.. aku pon tatau how long before die time out… tu pasal aku suruh window shop puas2 kat step no.2... MAKE SURE CHECKOUT kat window yg sama.. jangan gi bukak window2 lain bebanyak shopping kat endless

8. In a few days ko akan dapat email from mmrrebates cakap, die terima purchase ko…  now ko kena tunggu… say for bape bulan…. Usually 3 bulan .. baru akan direflect dalam akaun mrrebates ko…  ni contoh akaun aku… dah join since 2010… balance yg aku ade skang USD17.78 .. tapi previously aku dah withdraw beratus2 gak total… (refer to yg kaler merah tu.. tu semua amount yg aku masukkan dalam paypal…)

Okeh sekian tutorial…. Free je nak join mrrebates.com … so tak hurt to try…

Also ko boleh dapat cash rebates from thousands of merchants.. bukan endless.com je…

Tapi endless je yg aku tau ship ke Mesia…. Aku shop kat fabric.com   (anta kain gi adik aku kat US)

Shop drugstore.com  …. Beli spanx kat freshpair.com   … beli tiket flight kat priceline.com… sewa keter kat US pon cashback gak…. Sewa hotel….. so macam2 la leh dapat cashback… a bit limited for Msian based people.. but seb baik endless shipping international preeee….

okayla kan? kasut murah... free shipping... dapat duit balik....

disclaimer: ni pengalaman aku la.. kalau endless or mrrebates tuka policy ke pape tetiba...no more free shipping ke etc... aku x bersalah... info correct as per my knowledge and experience..

ku beli kan amir kasut buaya kaler pink...
crocs ori amir yg kaler kuning yg dibeli masa sale, soo soo big, umur 5-6 tahun baru leh guna kot.... so aku beli la satu kasut buaya.... sebab asik dok bagi die jalan in socks je... susah nak on-off kasut.... and senang terbukak/dibukak oleh amir.. etc... kasut clarks pun sempat hilang kat CDG airport.... sabau jelah!!

anyway kriteria utama semestinye selesa... so kena la raba2 gak kasut2 buaya ni.. biji-biji tapak kaki tu cam sakit/tajam je, so kena pilih yg tak sakit... pastu shell kasut ade yg terlalu berat.. ade yg keras sgt.. yg okay and 99% perfect was this one... 1% was due to color... RM10.. mmg berbaloi2 sebab dlm rumah pon amir nak pakai kasut ni hahahaha...







docs, do u see anything wrong with this pic..?

Jom buat kuiz amir @ facebook...



playing with the toy house at hospital sri kota klang...
sambil tunggu tunggu orang...
Ni kasut org lain beli.. cap disney kot..


Sejak "dapat kaki", die dah tak boleh duduk diam....
tensen nye aku....
keje die nak main ajer...
nasib baiklah rumah aku babyproof...
(lebeh kurang lah, still boleh accident if he falls flat on his face)..
so takyah kejar die sana sini nak prevent him from playing anything or at places he shouldnt be playing with/at..
so I can just lay down and let him loose....
aku kena baring.. kalau aku duduk main laptop, die nak join...
so aku baring main ipod, tgk tv.. berguna gak mende alah nih...
so bila aku baring...
bila bila dia haus, minum la seteguk dua from the milk fountain...
pastu sambung main....


aku pulak ... boobs dah ditrain to let down within 40 seconds...
so walaupun amir isap 2-3 kali, katakan 20 saat je die minum...then gi main....
still 20 seconds after that, akan terletdown walaupun dah stop isap..
next time die dtg lagi.. pun jadik lagi.. hampeh la cicah cicah je....
boleh tak minum sekali harung.... geramnyee...
so anyways... I smell like stinky cheese.... always and forever...

gatal nak surf design design kasut clarks baby..
tapi ni yang aku jumpa... I sooo likeeee!!!! (ye aku memang hidup takde kaler)
but if ade kat kedai.. aku beli on the spot skang...
sukanye aku!!!

semalam... agenda aku .. gi carik kasut for amir...
I was ready to pay ~RM90 per pair of shoes
if thats what it takes to get a comfy shoe...
sebab aku bila beli kasut.. wajib melecet dulu..
thennn bila dah lembut, baru boleh pakai..
but time melecet tu.. siap darah2 luka semua lah...
so tanak jadik camtu kat amir...
so tak kisah nak carik kasut mahal.. gaji pun baru naik maaa...
pastu konon2 jadik hadiah befday amir (was trying to justify my actions)


start at tiny tapir...
bestnye kedai ni.. it is cloth diaper and babywearing heaven...
aku tak try pon carriers coz amir cranky sket...
tapi shopped for cloth wipes and angel mama baby bottom...
tried some LLC bras...
for amir... tried Isabooties and soo shooes...
tak sesuai... size either to small or too big...
so on to KLCC...


kat KLCC teruskan pencarian kat parkson, mothercare, isetan...
segala bagai la.. crocs, clarks, etc etc..
kat isetan tu... oshkosh on sale 50%...
but size again, tak de...
so try tgk yg tak sale.. RM80.... pun takde... either too small/too large..
bengong lah...


last2 on the way nak balik gi bata...bubblegummers
hahhaa jumpa ape aku nak...
soft soled (soft as in flexible cam nike free shoes)..
then blakang kasut tak keras... and ventilated...
and ade a few design... first 2 design, org tu kata dah abis size...
last design.. tried the pink on.. coz on display was size 4.. tu size yg nak try...
malas nak suruh die gi amek yg kaler biru.. nak test size je dulu..
and it fits.... so we bought the blue one...
fits perfectly (meaning 2-3 minggu lagi dah tak muat kot)
but RM19 je... soo...beli jelah...takkan nak beli size besar tapi fitting not good for now to walk in, semata2 nak jimat?


pastu amir cam biasa... charmed the store.. hahah
bebudak and sales person semua nak dote on him... yg tergedik2 jalan sana sini...
usually bebudaks tak suka bebudak..
(dah banyak kali bebudak umur 2-3 tahun nak pukul amir sbb dengki mak diorang main ngn amir)
tapi bebudaks dlm store tu cam suka nak main ngn baby...
theyd make great older siblings....

in total.. jalan for 5 hours.. daymnn penat...
