You have to believe me. Due to increasing inflation rate and living costs, more and more average people are buying cheap bargains: cheap slippers, discount water purifiers, inexpensive handbags …

I think people are not in the mood to look for cheap gifts for men and women for the time being.

There are worrying disasters coming in the US. The Tropical Storm Hanna was expected to blow ashore early Saturday morning between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, N.C., then race up the Atlantic Coast, reaching New England by Sunday morning.

And then a more ferocious-looking Hurricane Ike was expected to hit Florida by the middle of next week.

Hubby and I just came back from the shopping mall. Guess what? The shopping mall is so quiet. There are sales in the shopping mall, but it’s so quiet.

A sales girl who was checking the lcd monitor stocks told me that it’s also quiet at night. Most women shoppers come looking for cheap bargains or clearance items while other shoppers only come strolling in the mall after dinner.

I am sure there are some shoppers like you and I who love shopping online. Online shopping is so convenient. There are so many price comparison sites that I can compare and compare for free until I find the cheapest bargains. No need fuel consumption at all.

With increasing fuel and food prices, it’s wise to go to the shopping malls once in a blue moon.

With hiking fuel and food prices, I guess many working mamas are like me doing their best to exercise control on their spending.

As I am a working mama loaded with some credit card debt, I have to be even more cautious when it comes to shopping for gifts.

Instead of buying new arrivals, I turn to buying cheap bargains or best deals as gifts. I don’t mean cheap stuff. I mean high quality, yet cheap bargains as cheap unique gifts.

Checking out the Deal of the Day is one of my ways of saving some bucks. Buying cheap bargains or best deals indeed saves me money.

Whenever I need to buy shoes, I will browse through a small selection of shoes that are at mind-blowing prices. Since the Deal of the Day is carried out every day, except weekends, there is always a pair or a few pair of thongs, sandals, or shoes that appeal to me.

Talk about bling. I love this pair of Blowfish thongs. See the detailed metal and glass beads arranged in a decorative pattern?

Yes, the thongs are under the Deal of the Day now. There are a few more pairs that appeal to me, so I need some time to make up my mind.

What if they are gone when I return after my acne treatment? It’s okay. The Deal of the Day is carried out every day. There is always a pair or a few pairs of thongs that attract to me.
