Things you refuse to spend money on

[chiqmom]

anything "extra"- i do not have a lot of things.okay na ako sa 2 relo, 3 pairs of earrings, etc.

imitations- i dont get the idea of spending thousands for class aaa products. it's better to settle sa affordable brands basta orig.

[la_pinay]

concert tickets
bottled waters in restos
jewelries

Gadgets

[perasense]

gadgets - kung kaya pa naman gamitin at hindipa sira yung luma, okay na ko dun
movies - most of the time i can download for free sa internet. at least yun pwede ko pang ulit-ulitin panoorin
cable TV - wala rin namang masyadong nanunuod ng tv sa bahay. puros telenovela lang mahilig mga tao sa amin so pwede na regular TV stations.
bags - kung hingi sale, hindi ako bibili. i buy neutral colors para pwede i-match sa maraming type at color ng clothes.
drinks when eating out - water na lang. mas healthier pa.

i agree with gadgets! i still use my old macbook white, cant let go of it since it has a sentimental value. it still works after 7 years, hopefully it wont conk out soon!

gadget (except sa phone na mganda ang camera hehe)

Eating out at expensive places. A lot of my friends do this and they get absolutely no judgment from me, if it makes them happy then I'm happy, but personally I can't bring myself to spend thousands to go food tripping.

1. designer bags
basta lumagpas ng 5k yung bag, pagiisipan ko na. Though ngayon pinagiisipan ko bumil ing LV, pero nakakapanghinayang e. pocket money na lang for travels.


2. branded clothes
I buy sa dept store lang and i always get praises that it looks good on me. wala naman sa brand yan, nasa nagdadala. though sometimes i buy branded pero classic styles and hindi yung nawawala sa uso.


3. shoes (worth 5k+)
im not really particular sa shoes basta comfy. pawisin din kasi yung paa ko and im size 5 kaya mahirap maghanap ng shoes. and eto din kasi yung pinaka nalalaspag na gamit so i buy sa cheap buyt trustworthy stores.


4. high-end salon (haircut for P500? no way)
Once lang ako nagbayad ng mahal sa salon. I paid 6k for my hair color kay alex carbonell sa gb. ok naman pero medyo wild color kasi yun so i pinagawa ko sa salon. the rest diy na lang. haircut costing 300+, no-no na ako. :p


I'm more on the pratical side. basta kaya ko gawin, gagawin ko. And I dont like to invest on material things, di ko naman sila madadala sa langit. unlike if you spend it on experience, pag nag backtrack ka sa life mo, masaya ka. 

[lytblu]

ayoko gumastos ng malaki para sa mga gagamitin ko sa office (shoes, bags, damit etc). nasasayangan ako. haha

-starbucks coffee or any expensive coffee ..ok lang once in awhile pero everyday? nope!

-gadgets-- I still have my Iphone 4s..obsolete na to dito pero Im not into gadgets talaga.. my ipad was just a gift pa nga.

-fine dining restos-- Id rather cook or eat sa cheap restaurant na masarap than in fine dining.

-parties -- I dont like having grand celebrations... a simple dinner with few close friends will do.

-3g subscriptions,post paid lines -- I dont text/call often plus theres wifi in office and bahay so no need for me

-designer shoes-- although its so tempting to get those valentino/ CL/Chanel espadrilles/ manolos shoes, I just cant. hanggang Tory Burch lang talaga ako.

--Movies/concerts--- Id rather watch online

Gadgets

False na ito sa akin. LOL! Since I work from for 7 years na, akala ko okay na ako sa mga gadgets na "sakto" lang. Kailangan ko palan siya ng bongga kasi malaki naman ang ROI sa akin.

5 years after, hindi ko lang na post I still don't spend too much money sa mga mamahaling coffee like Starbucks. I only get to drink it kapag nagbabakasyon kami. Minsan buong taon never pa ako nakainom.

[crzysxycl]

I set a budget for everything so if the cost is beyond that, I would obviously ignore and forget about it. lol.

phones - hanggang 30k lang ako.. and once palang ako bumili ng ganong halaga, nagsisi pa ko ng bongga kasi hindi pa natatapos ang taon, may nilabas na new model si sony. never again! after nito, sa mid-range nalang ako palagi, max 25k para matibay tibay pa rin.

laptop - i'm an IT consultant so for this, as long as makuha ko yung specs na gusto ko, matibay and not more than 50k ang price. bought my first ever laptop in 2009 for 35k, 10 yrs sa akin and never nasira.. i just sold it when i had to declutter.. compared din kasi sa latest models, ang bigat nya, lol.

shirts/blouses - hanggang 1k lang tayo dyan

jackets - 3k max, medyo mahilig ako dito.. maginaw kasi sa office.

jeans - i usually buy sa uniqlo lang, dun lang kasi may kasundo yung balakang at thighs ko eh.  the quality is very good and affordable din lalo pag may sale.

shoes - 5k max, ilang beses ko na kasi naranasan masiraan ng shoes habang nasa labas. nakakahiya kapag iniwan ka ng sapatos mo ghorl! parang yung ex mo na basta ka nalang binitawan, ganern! 

skincare - 1k max

makeup - less than 1k

bags - 4k max

watch - 15k max, medyo mahilig ako sa relo.. pero i only have a few. labo no?  last purchase was in 2016 pa, after i gave birth. ngayong may anak na ako plus another one on the way, hindi na masyadong ma-appeal sa akin mga yan. i don't see the need to buy a new one din since ok pa naman watches ko. kung kailanganin man, i'd go for cheaper ones nalang.. they'll tell the same time anyway. 

I don't buy items at regular price na rin.. lagi namang may sale, iwas pagsisisi. Minimalist na rin ang peg ko ngayon. One of my new year's resolution: don't buy clothes and shoes.. so far so good! Wala pa kong nabili nyan, sana matuloy tuloy ko.

[swtgrl_bee]

^Ang bongga ng laptop mo sis. May I know anong brand? TIA

[crzysxycl]

^hi sis! Asus yung brand, the best for me..

[fall2pieces]

Hair treatments - rebonding, etc. temporary lang kase and high maintenance na afterwards. Okay na ako sa shampoo, suklay at paminsan-minsan pagplantsa ng hair

Clothes - Minsan lang ako bumili ng clothes kapag need ko lang, ang dami ko pa kasing damit, yung iba mga padala from abroad, unless kailangan ko talagang bumili. I usually buy lang kapag may sale, nasasayangan ako kapag hindi ko sale nabili

Bags - I don't buy expensive bags, usually mga bigay lang din kung meron man haha

Slippers/Flipflops  - ang daming tsinelas sa bahay haha, if ever man di ako bibili ng mahal na tsinelas, if ever naman e once in how many years bago maulit.

Wallets - I use bigay lang din na wallet, once lang ako bumili ng leather na wallet worth 1.5k

Gambling, lotto, raffles - di ako swerte dito

Tattoos - never wanted to get one

Latest phones - unless sira na, bilis na kasi maglabas ng new phones ngayon

Expensive perfume - dami ko pang perfume na di nagagamit. also it lasts years bago maubos.

Memberships like gyms, MLM, to avail or sell products

Premium subscriptions

Postpaid plans - been there, never again

Fake branded clothes/shoes/bags - Sayang pera sa fake, just buy the original

Travelling without promo fares

Concert tickets - even if I'm a fan, I won't spend 20k for front row tickets for a 2-hour concert.

Starbucks Planners - waste of money for a planner I  won't even use haha

Fine dining restaurants
