~ Paddington Stamps ~

I love to shop at Guardian because there are so many things you can get there. Besides, it always offers the best price for its goods (especially toiletries and beauty products) with a lot of freebies, twinpacks, coupons, vouchers and recently the Paddington Bear stamps.

I started collecting the stamps last December and by the end of January, I’ve already have 20 stamps on the card. By the way, I’m still short of 10 stamps before I can get a cute Paddington tote bag for free (I’ve been eyeing it since I got the 1st stamp!).

The thing is, each stamp costs me RM25 and I already have 20. That means I’ve already spent at least RM500 at Guardian in order to collect 20 stamps in less than 2 months! Come to think of it, it’s a lot of money just to be spent at a shop like Guardian. So I open my cupboard (a place where I keep all stocks of toiletries / beauty products) just to check what things did I buy with the amount of money. Kept in place are bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower foams, tubes of sunblock, facial foam, lotion, body cream, boxes contain hundreds of pantiliner, packets of sanitary pad, and many more. As a conclusion I have everything supplied for at least 3-4 months and some I don’t really need much. What a waste!

Suddenly, I feel that I was too obsessed collecting stamps without realizing I was buying things I don’t really need / already have. I wish I could exchange the stamps with money instead, but I can’t… Uwaa… Sob… Sob…

Enough is enough, no more stamps for now on. Stupid me!
