Wall-E

It’s the school holidays and if you’ve got kids, they’re likely pestering you to take them out.
Few kids can sit still at home. It’s also a good idea to tear them away from their computer games for a few hours.

Do you have any vouchers or coupons that will be expiring soon? Better use it fast. If you wait till it’s too close to the date, you’ll find yourself shopping out of desperation like I did last weekend.

things to note at warehouse sales

I love warehouse sales but not in this kind of weather. Can you imagine breathing in the haze in one of those open-door warehouses with barely-there air-conditioning?
Okay so while we’re fighting the heat and haze, we mustn’t forget that warehouse sales are mostly aimed to clearing old stock, outdated or discontinued product lines, sometimes even [...]

walking on treasure

Did you have a hobby as a kid? When I was in school, I used to collect stamps and coins. I was actually more interested in stamps because of the pretty pictures on them.
