Wk 2 - E-shopping Spree!

Wow, I am suddenly given $500 from EIR to go online shopping on the internet!!!
(How I wish the money is real)

I chose to browse at the website www.amazon.com as it provides a wide range of items!
These are the things I would want to buy:

Canon PowerShot SX210IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 14x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Purple) --- $249.00

My number must-buy item would be a digital camera as I enjoy taking photos but do not own one! With this camera, I would be able to capture and share the memories of my family and friends on Facebook
I want to get this particular canon digital camera as it is compact, small, but has many useful functions! I would use this camera instead of my integrated handphone camera as it would take photos of a higher quality. Finally, it's the camera's high zoom function that entices me to buy it. It can zoom up to as far as 14x and I would be able to take photos of things/scenery etc that are quite far away from me.

Ineed Neck and Shoulder Massager --- $59.99.

I would also buy this neck and shoulder massager for my Mum!
I believe my Mum would need this as she have to do many household chores everyday.
So, owning a massager would relieve aching in the neck and shoulder area in a convenient way.

Ben 10 Ten Alien Force Omnitrix Illuminator 30 Images Black & Green Face --- $15.00

I would buy this Ben 10 toy for my 8 year old nephew cos Ben 10 is his favourite cartoon!
He would always pretend to 'morph' into the superhero aliens as Ben 10 did, so I thought it would be better if he has this watch toy to get the sound effects and etc.

Then, I went on to www.Topshop.com to browse for apparel/shoes and accessories.
My final choice is...

Topshop ACTIVE Silver Brothel Creepers --- £60.00
After converting the amount into Singapore dollars, this pair of boots would cost about $122.00!
I am a big fan of boots!
However, I only own a pair of basic black ankle boots because they usually cost a bomb.
That is why if I am given the $500, I would buy this pair of silver boots right away.

**********

After adding all the money I would spend on this online shopping spree, I would spend a total of $445.99!

I enjoyed doing this blogpost because one of my favourite past-time activities would be online shopping.
I usually shop at websites known as 'Blog shops' as the apparels they offer might be cheaper than when you buy it at a shopping mall.
However, since I am given 'virtual credits', I would just go ahead and shop at more established websites such as Topshop.

I still am rather surprised about the number of things $500 can buy me.
One tip from me: It is important to compare and choose the better and more affordable product to maximise your spendings. This is to ensure that you can get what you want and help you to save money at the same time!

So, the good thing is that I still have around $50 left after buying so many items!
I can save this amount of money in my bank then. :)
