Things you refuse to spend money on

[gil12]

- branded bags like LV, hindi ko talaga kaya bumili ng mga bags worth P50k and more.. yes you can re-sell it pero nag-depreciate naman value niyan, worse baka maluma lang.. I'm sure kung bumili o regaluhan man ako ng ganyan hindi ko rin gagamitin. I'd rather buy a watch or jewelry kasi classic piece pwede ko pa ipamana sa anak ko 
- starbucks and other cafes, hindi naman kasi talaga ako mahilig sa coffee.. a cup worth P100+ is too much, magkano lang ba yun instant coffee? 
- make up, malamang kung bibili akong mahal or branded na make up hindi ko rin magagamit 
- gadgets, gamit kong cellphone mag 3 years na ata sakin. gusto ko na nga bumili ng bago, gusto ko mag downgrade ng cp. hirap na hirap na ko sa touchscreen! minsan nga halos isang araw hindi ko nahawakan cp ko. basta nagagamit siya for text and call mabubuhay na ko sa ganung gamit na cp.

I refused to spend on:
1. branded clothes - basta matibay kahit locallyl made/ukay okay na unqiue pa yung akin at walang ganung kamukha
2. branded bags - don't have any plans to buy kahit may pera ako
3. high end gadgets - madalis magpalit at maluma
4. car - hindi kase ako marunong magdrive at high maintenance
5. travel - pag may super laking savings na ako pwede na pero not now
6. gimik like concerts, clubbing, inuman - may kakilala ako budget nya for a month sa ganito 15k - sya na

[MissOnline]

[iwasborn2shop]

Watching movies out (may cable naman and dvd)
Grooming ng pups ko (keri na ng maid magpaligo ng dogs)
Expensive resto (anywhere nalang basta masarap)
Bday celebration sa labas (pede na sa bahay nalang)
Unbranded bags (still completing my designers bags)

[alcien]

New phones/gadgets, alahas, overpriced na bags na mas mahal pa o presyo na ng isang buwan mong sweldo. Sa cellphone, okay na ako sa iisa lang, siguro di rin ako matyagang mag games sa liit ng screen sa cp at kung ano-anong efeks. Ang purpose lang kasi sakin ng cp ay para maka-contact, alarm at mp3 player.

Yung phone ko ngayon di touchscreen, parang nakakastress lang din kung bibili ka ng pagkamamahal na phone na mainit sa mata ng mga mandurukot.

[jessiej199091]

i refuse to buy lacoste products. promise ko talaga yan sa sarili ko kasi feeling ko sa mga iba na nagsusuot ng lacoste, mga show-off lang na tipong form of declaration lang na "can afford ako". (hindi naman syempre lahat)

but my main reason is: parang kahit original lacoste isuot ko, mukha akong trying hard.

parehas tayo sis. Hindi ako mahilig sa mga cellphones na mahal. Lalo na ang work ko ay madaling araw tapos sa Eastwood pa. Nakakatakot sa Cubao area eh.

Agree! and nothing special on the brand, it's overpriced in my opinion. I know someone
who paid 15k for a simple looking bag, a combination of white and skyblue ang kulay... now
she's complaining coz ang dali madumihan and she saw a lot of knock offs na kaparehas talaga.

[andi9]

Makiki join lang po.. =)

I don't go for Fad. I don't buy on what's latest.. Afterall, maluluma din agad ng panahon, mabilis ang takbo ng araw.

[merchee]

- branded bags and shoes (I can only spend up to 2k to 3k (depends on quality)...nothing more than that)
- going out; specially watching movies
- gadgets <-- I'll not give up on my Iphone 3GS hahaha! Kahit na siguro magkaroon ng Iphone 7 basta gumaga na pa yung phone ko, I'll not replace it.
- Phone subscriptions
- extra jewelries  <-- as long as I have my earrings and watch I'm good.


But I do buy skin care, make-ups and clothes from reputable brands. I'd rather buy things of quality than buy cheap ones pero madali masira (clothes) and that could worsen my skin's condition.

[vanillamist]

I like this thread.. Hindi pala ko nag iisa.haha..
Hindi ako mahilig sa branded, although kaya kong bumili, pero nanghihinayang ako, damit, shoes, accessories, bags, gadgets. Once lang ako gumastos sa ipad, pero oks nako dun.. Cellphone ko samsung star pa rin, afford ko naman ang latest gadget pero parang grabe ako maghinayang.hahaha. Sobra kuripot lang.. Designer bags ayaw ko rin..kotse, nasasayangan ako..Bag ko sa tiannge lang,basta walang tatak,ayaw ko naman yung replica hehe..

[7galleons]

Okay lang naman to splurge on things na sulit. But these items:
1. Expensive Gadgets that I don't need (Iphone-I don't think sulit siya kasi in 6 month's time may bago ng ilalabas ang apple)
2. Expensive clothes (T Shirts worth P2000-5000 na sobrang nipis naman!)
3. Taxi Fare ( I have a friend na proud siya na she rides the taxi all the time. I don't get it. Minsan lang ako mag-taxi when I was late na for interview, naliligaw na ako or di daanan ng puv yung pupuntahan ko)
4. Postpaid Plans (Ayokong masurprise sa bill ko every month. I'd rather buy prepaid cards to be used per month)
5. Expensive Bags (Honestly,mas gusto ko pa yung made in Marikina)
6. Starbucks Coffee

[vslima]

-Starbucks coffee ( i never buy them even im with my friends...haha..nakainom lang ako nung linibre ako...seriously... but besides, i hate coffee naman)
-concert tickets.... hanggang uaap lang ako...lol
-pricey burgers in mcdo...  i never had the urge to buy one...haha...yung tig 25 lang talaga:)
-buffet (never unless libre..haha)
-High tech phone (never had a touch screen phone...lol)

...i'll post more isip muna ako...hehe

[jayce_mom]

Mga sis, pasali din ako:

I will not spend money on the following:(only applies to me)
1. Cosmetic Procedures- once in a while facial will do
2. Salon Treatment- haircut, pedicure (a must!), tsaka once in a while hair spa
3. Latest Gadgets- ang exception lang sa akin LED tv kasi tipid sa kuryente
4. Parties/Gimiks
5. Hotel Accomodations

... pero ibang usapan na pagdating sa daughter ko, I am willing to spend on her NEEDS
 

[tomatostellar]

luxury bags ~ siguro pag afford ko na magka-kotse
expensive heels ~ alam ko naman na di ko gagamitin
gym membership ~ kahit may promo pa sa office, masasayang lang talaga
expensive make up ~ especially those na maiksi ang shelf life (like mascaras) tapos may mga season kasi na tamad ako mag ayos, so sayang lang din

[emina002]

1. Expensive clothes- most ng damit ko pamana nila mama,auntie sa abroad,saka kapag tumaba ako at di magkasya na mga damit ko,pipilitin kong mag diet:D
2. Gadgets-di ako masyado techie,basta yung cellphone ko hindi touch screen at least me wifi,solve na ako dun. Saka laptop na maayos,di ko na kelangan magdagdag ng iba pang gadget,pra saan?
3. Load-me mga promo ako nireregister na good for 30 days, tapos pag napaload ako ule ng pang 30 days(pag naubos yung pang call ko) na addjust lang expiry ng load ko hanggang umabot na 2014..hahaha
4. Food-kung nakakain na ako sa mga kilalang restaurant,di ko na ule uulitin pa kumain ule dun,at least nakakain na ako sa kilalang restaurant may masasabi na ako.ok na ako sa fast food,pero di lage lage.pang fish ball lang peg ko.Pag libre ng iba,go ako ^_^

Hmm..

1) Branded handbags / shoes / clothes: if given the money, I'll just spend it to buy a nice backpack, and not a lot of bags tapos hindi ko naman magagamit. i'm not a "hand-bag" type of girl. also, i only buy clothes when i feel i really need to replace my old ones already. same goes with shoes.
2) Super high-end gadgets: I have a tablet but it's not an iPad, it's a Chinese brand, Ainol. I also have a Samsung smartphone that is not Galaxy S3 , Note, nor S4, it's just Galaxy W. I can live with mid-end or the cheaper version of those gadgets, and besides, burara and medyo hindi rin kasi ako masyado maingat.
3) Gimik / parties / bar-hopping: A once-in-a-blue-moon cocktail at Central BBQ Boy or Tides with friends is fine with me, but most of the time I don't really drink and I am not the "party-party" type of girl. Besides, mausok. I hate cigarette smoke.
