Farha Foundation : shop for a good cause

November 12th, 2006 at 03:28 pm

Today I went with my friend to the "au coeur de la mode" event. It located in the "palais de congres" in Montreal where many designers and boutiques sell their clothes at 50% off the retail price and in season. To get in, we need to donate 5$ and that money is going to the foundation against the aids. I didn't buy any clothes because most are not my style or too expensive because there's designer who sell their clothes at 200$ with the 50% off already. I planned to limit my spending to 100$ but I put an extra 50$ in case... Turned out I spend less than I plan! =)

I bought a teddy bear with a gorgeous tear drop necklace at 12$ (about 13$ off retail price), that money is coming off on my piggy bank (gift) money. I'm going to give my cousin this gift for her 16th birthday in January. I bought a nutcracker fireman for 8$ for my aunt, so that's also coming off my gift money. In total, I spend 20$ for gift and I have 20$ left.

With my 150$, I bought food in Tim Hortons and I paid retail price : 3.99$. I paid 5$ for the entrance. eum... A hat for 10$ to keep me warm in the winter. I bought lunch for my friend and I for 5.50$ including tips... What else. I think that's all. In total, I spent 24.49$ and 125.51$ left!!

Today, I spent 44.49$ !! I think I did a good job by not spending too much. Yay!! I think it is worth it, 25% of the sales will go to the foundation and it's going to help find a way to cure the aids. I wanted to buy the freedom necklace but I didn't want to because I don't need it. Ah well, I can't afford to buy whatever the heck I want. This month budget is not so bad, I enjoy some time with friends and I only spend about 100$ this month... Hopefully, I need to cut back on my eating at school. I don't have a lot of time to buy groceries or make myself to eat. mmm... I'll have to think about it after this week, need to concentrate on school first.

Oh yeah, I put 2$ on my challenge money for yesterday because I woke up early and I went to work on time. hehe... I put another 2$ because I resist on buying a few things that I may later regret later... That makes 216$ !!
