We love buying stuff and we love buying stuff at bargain prices!
We buy stuff because we need it. Other times, we buy it because it is cheap! Sometimes, we leave something for next time when there's a bargain be it a true bargain or a subjective one.
So, I noticed I have been exercising my buying power lately despite being kiamsiap and sharing my purchases with my boyfriend and friends via Whatsapp.
It's really nice when they said, "Waaa, nice purchase" or, "Glad you like it", or even ask the most satisfying question, "Wei, how much ar?". With the last question, I can give them a full account on how satisfying it was to get the item at (a subjective) bargain price!
This week itself I have bought several items which is a major achievement on a kiamsiap level. But let's start with what I bought yesterday...
So, I went to the V&A Museum in South Kensington, London on my 1 week forced annual leave. At their V&A Shop got summer sale.

| Approx 2m long, this scarf is light and cool. |
 |
| Close up of the beautiful pattern and colours under sunlight. Really made my day because I was thinking that I need to shop for a nice multi-colour scarf before embarking to V&A |
 |
| Embroidery scissors, £7. This one, I am not sure if bargain or not but I really wanted it la. Recently bought a similar non-functional antique one at Spitalfields for £5 (not with me at the moment but will compare and contrast some day). |
