Shopping

 

Once in a while get the chance to get out from home and the best place to shop is Walmart! Ha ha!😃OMG! Where else? It is the only shopping mall where you can find brand new clothes, accessories, shoes, bags, and it has the supermarket too and pharmacy. Walmart is the equivalent of Shoemart in Philippines, although not as huge as Shoemart though. But because the population of the city is only below 50,000 while Makati City or Manila has been over populated since the 90's. To think that the population over there has exceeded beyond capacity.

What I purchased from Walmart? Look at the photo above. Yep, slippers. Got a new pair of black slippers. Price: $15 + tax. I'm glad no need to purchase through online. I don't like ordering/shopping  from online. It's not what I intended to buy because I was actually looking for a pair of slippers or sandals with at least 2" to 4" heels just like what I was wearing before. Why the high heels? Because the arch on the soles can help relieve pain and can make you walk better on flat surface, besides the kitchen counter is too high for me.

However, the new kitchen counter is built appropriately for my height so I don't need to wear high heels. The new black slippers are comfortable to wear and it is much better to use when going up and down the stairs. 

Hey, I also bought new shirt for my husband and he likes the color of his polo shirt. It's not as expensive as the ones I used to buy for him when I was employed. When I was employed, used to buy exclusive golf shirts from the golf clubs (re: Moe Hays, Storry Creek, Crowne Isle's). Now, Walmart and Mark's the best shopping outlets where you can purchase items when budget is small. Not funny eh?

Of course, I bought a new blouse which I haven't wear yet. I know... where to wear new clothes and flaunt them? In times of the pandemic, there's no need to be fashionable. Look at what is fashionable and trendy? FACE MASKS! Face masks are more pricey than clothes: dress, pants, blouse or tops. People would rather wear fancy face masks then wear old clothes. LOL. Is that good or bad? A small piece of 100% cotton fabric on your face costs about $9. Some people will pay $20 for a piece of 100% cotton fabric for a face mask, already made with elastic and plastic on the nose bridge.  How much is a good quality spandex/cotton fabric per meter you may ask? It's costly! You wont believe it's $17/meter + GST (5%) + PST (7%).

So, if ever you'll ask when will the pandemic be over? It will be over as soon as the billionaire businessmen will reach the trillionnaire's level of wealth and status.

Otherwise, it wont be over.
