from green to black

philips

went to the philips showroom to redeem my vouchers today.
was kindda impressed but the service i received from the
young staff guy. although i kindda wished i had seen the
showroom before claiming my vouchers. could have made
better choices if i knew what options i had.

basically i bought a 46" philips tv at harvey norman for
2200 when it was retailing at 3600 together with a blue
ray player for 700 when it was retailing for 1000.

total cost of 2900 savings of 1700 not too bad.

i was offered a 500 philips voucher or a 250 choice voucher.

well if i knew this was the case, i would have bought the
home theater system there, i would have saved another $200.
anyway since i didnt have the car, i didnt want to carry
heavy bulky items, i thought our house already had too
much stuff and there was no need to add to the mess, i
decided on the supermarket choice vouchers.

oh well, but in any case that i do get to splurge on a tv
set like this again, i would definitely get the vouchers.

i would have saved 200 more for the home theater system
i loved the sound systems that were going for 200
i drooled over the shaver set that cost 400
i thought the epilators that cost 300 were useful
i would have bought bigger kitchen appliances

hmmmm i guess its 10 more years before i get a new house.
wonder how much i'd need to spend by then.
