My shopping spree

I went on a shopping spree at NTUC and bought more things than necessary due to greed. :P The good thing is that they are healthy products.

I had initially planned to get only my favourite brand of yoghurt which is on offer - Meiji Yoghurt at $2.20 for 3. However, I got tempted to go to other shelves and bought tuna snack, herbal jelly with mint, aloe vera, cereal and instant soup as well. Sigh. Oh well, I'll take it as stocking up for the future then. :P

Budget Tai Tai Tabitha Wang wrote an article entitled Supermarket Sweepstakes. She finds that she tends to buy more items than she planned to each time she goes to the supermarket. I like to go to the supermarket too. My favourite one is NTUC for its prices and Cold Storage for its Christmas range of products. I do have the tendency she wrote about.

I just went to NTUC over the weekend to shop for my meals. My parents will be away for the week and I plan to cook my meals for a change. Though I did have a rough shopping list, I bought other things which weren't on it. I had a feeling that I would spend above my budget of $30 even though I chose items of brands which had the cheapest prices. Thank goodness I spent only $3 more. Still, it's a happy feeling shopping in the supermarket as I plan for my meals. I seldom get to do so and cherish the feeling I had then. :)
