Getting Ready

Have you been getting ready for the coming Christmas season?

One of the things that are important for some people is the way they look when the holidays are here. I’m sure a lot of those online discount vouchers are doing brisk business in time for the holidays.

Some of the bestsellers are the following:

  • resort getaways for the coming summer and after-the-holidays no work days
  • “beauty” coupons like the best eyelash enhancers, whitening, tightening, facial skin care and waxing procedures as well as dental procedures
  • gadgets
  • food/restaurant vouchers

These would be great gifts for your loved ones too! Just don’t give your overweight aunt those lipo-thing vouchers or she might feel insulted.

Philips Music Combo from CashCash Pinoy

Around two weeks ago,  I signed up with Cash Cash Pinoy because the site was offering a good deal: Philips music combo package consisting Philips Sound Machine and a 2gb Go Gear. The hubby and I were planning to get a Go Gear for the younger kids since our eldest child’s Go Gear is still in good condition even after 4 or 5 years since we purchased it. Yeah, we have brand loyalty because earphones she uses are also made by Philips.

The Philips package consisted of Philips CD Portable SoundMachine (Silver) + Philips GoGear Mix MP3 Player 2GB for only PhP3125.00. If I remember it right, the eldest child’s Go Gear was bought at PhP2,500.00 so I thought since we were buying another one, why not get this deal instead?

Hubby said yes and so I signed up and purchased the deal along with two more deals for a restaurant.

Hubby made an over the counter payment at a bank the next day and I immediately emailed the numbers seen in the deposit slips as per instructions. I got an email confirming my purchases.

Last week, I printed the voucher and asked the hubby if he can get the package on Tuesday at their Antel Makati office since he has to go to an office near that building. I gave him my PRC identification card but did not give him an authorization letter. So he went home empty-handed. He was promised that the package will be delivered the next day (Wednesday).

He brought the email, my ID and finally an authorization letter from me to the delivery address AKA MIL’s house early Wednesday morning.

I was there on Thursday but no package came. Sad 🙁

I emailed the site on their facebook page as well as in their official site telling them I am expecting the package because they promised delivery on a Wednesday, and it’s Friday morning already.

After a Friday lunch with my friends, I arrived at my MIL’s house with my student waiting for me AND the package waiting to be opened that has a note that says: “R_____, please prioritize”.

Yey! Finalleh!

The recipients of the Philips Music Combo were all very happy.

So what’s my next CashCash Pinoy purchase? archery supplies at stickemearchery? art supplies? ballet lessons? I’m looking at a spa deal right now because I think I may need these after the exam months.

Pros and Cons on Online Discount Vouchers

I’ve been subscribed to two or maybe three online discount deals. So far, I bought several online discount vouchers and I haven’t used them yet, I just hope these aren’t expired yet!

Mulling on the pros and cons of buying online discount vouchers, I came up with these:

Pros on buying online discount vouchers:

  • you save a lot
  • you can now afford to go to places (restaurants, salon, spa, resorts, hotels) you otherwise can’t afford if not for these discount vouchers
  • you get to experience new things

Cons on buying online discount vouchers:

  • yes, you save a lot but you buy vouchers because these are inexpensive and not because you need these
  • you think you are saving substantial amount by getting these but have you really paused and asked your self: “Do I really need these?
  • you pay for vouchers you don’t really need at the moment

So before you click that “buy now’ button, the bottom line for this new shopping trend is to ask yourself: “Do I really need to buy these online discount vouchers?”

I don’t know how it is with others but I don’t grab these online discount vouchers like there’s no tomorrow or if I do, I’d probably be saying goodbye to my online earning 😀
