It will soon be May 1. Another long weekend is coming up. I’m thinking of organizing our closets and stuffs and sell all these through a garage sale. It was a hit when we last had a sale infront of our house. We got rid of our things that we’re not using anymore. That means bigger space and at the same time we earned 4K with all those. I’ve read in one magazine that we should get rid of all stuff that we haven’t used for 6 months as this would just be clutter in your house. That is our aim. We are conducting garage sales twice a year and we do it on one of the holidays.

I think these preowned items can also be a good business. We have a lot of ukay-ukay shops here and it’s earning money. In the US, surplus shops are also making it big. It pays to be thrifty and prudent at this time of global financial crisis.

Summer is really the time to lounge outdoors. How refreshing it is to go outside and feel the breeze with the heat creeping in inside our houses. For those with gardens and lounge chairs, the perfect accents are outdoor cushions. I love that it comes with vibrant summer colors. What’s more is that it is currently on SALE. Regular price is $90 but it is now selling for only $45. 50% off! What’s more is that it comes with free shipping too.

This is what we call a great bargain.

In our family, all wear eyeglasses except me and my youngest sister. My other sister has been wearing glasses since her high school years. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a clear vision until now. Wearing eyeglasses is a nuisance not to mention that it is very costly to buy replacement every time. Glasses can get lost, can get outdated or can get broken.

In the US there is Zenni Optical where one can buy the cheapest glasses there is. I was really surprise when I found out that they are selling their prescription glasses for only $8. Unbelievable! I thought there might be a catch but there isn’t as they are direct distributors. They’ve eliminated the middleman and high cost of advertising so that they can sell good quality glasses at very affordable price.

This is good news for people who depend on eyeglasses to provide them clear vision. Some can even afford to buy a lot of frames to suit their moods and season. Recently they launched Holiday frames and it is selling like pancakes. I’m not surprised as glasses can be considered as nice accessories that can prep someone’s look.

So if you’re looking for nice, durable and affordable eyewear, visit Zenni Optical and you’re sure to find something that would suit your need.

Having a great chandelier really brings out the WOW factor in any room. I realized that when we got the chance to visit Koi Café in Malagos, Davao. This quaint resto is made even charming by the beautiful shell chandeliers that hang in its high ceiling. It looks doubly beautiful at night.

Now I wish we could have one in our living room. I have this notion before that these cost much but I was mistaken. There is an ongoing sale at lighting showplace. This one caught my fancy.

It looks very elegant and has a homey feel to it. I wonder if something like this can grace our living room one of these days.

My friend recently complains about headaches and blurred vision. We advised her to visit her eye doctor and get new prescription glasses. Her eye grade may have changed. She visited her optometrist yesterday and confirmed that she needs to replace her eyeglasses. The problem is the cost. Her employment benefits do not include eye care or her health care do.

Good thing I chanced upon a nationally syndicated consumer advocate program called The Clark Howard Show. They recommended ZenniOptical for good quality but very affordable prescription eyewear. One can buy online and it only costs $8. That’s good news right? There also positive reviews about them on Fox news, TV and in the radio,

Now I just wonder how come that they sell their glasses cheaper than anybody else? I found out that they are a direct seller. They don’t have middlemen nor advertise on TV and broadsheet. This cuts down unnecessary cost but not the quality of their stuff.

I would let my friend know about this so that she can have her much needed replacement soon. It’s so hard to work if you don’t have the correct eyeglasses. I’m pretty sure she will thank me for this.

September is the shopping month for me this year. I bought two heavy buys this month. One is our camera care of Amore and the other is our sofa bed. Pero infairness ha, these were good buys. The camera that Amore helped me buy is 50% cheaper had I bought it here. Same can be said on our sofa bed.

So never mind it these items will leave a dent on our pocket. What is important is that these fall on our “needs” category rather than “wants”. We also saved a lot because we bought them on sale so I have nothing to be guilty about. Hahaha!

We’re excited waiting for these to arrive. The camera will be sent here by the end of this month so we’ll probably have it either on the last week of October or on the first week of November. The sofa bed will be delivered next week. We are so excited to have them. Hehehe.
