My Never-Ending Quest For Shoe Bargains

Hello! I'm back blogging before I am off to do my thesis in a few minutes.

Like any other girls, I have the deepest love for shoes, bags and clothes. - The only difference is, I love shoes and clothes better than bags. Heee. I've been in the quest for hunting cheap finds for as all of you know, I am kuripot. Hihi. I  usually do not buy stuff when they are not on sale. In any event that I decided to buy an item in its regular price, it's either the item is an investment (which means I have already thought about buying it gazillions of time), or I make tawad (a practice only in the Philippines, where people haggle the lowest offer they could get. Most rampant in bazaars, and tiangges) .

Today, I'm going to blog about the shoe bargains that I got into for the past two months. So let's get started.


This was the first pair of heels I got from a bargain, about 2-3 months ago. I've already blogged about this months ago as a resort of excitement. Heee. I got this heels from PRP (People Are People) for PhP 699 pesos. 50% cheaper than its regular price.

The second pair that I got was also from PRP. PRP has an array of women's shoes to choose from. In an event when the store is conducting its annual/end of season sale. It really means SALE. All items are really marked down to its lowest price. This platforms, I got for only 799 pesos. From an original price of PhP 1600 pesos. Good deal, right?

I got this suede black pumps, at a regular price. But ooops!! With tawad. I bargained from PhP 700 pesos to 500 pesos (if I'm not mistaken) in one of those tiangge malls in Manila. It bought it because I really needed a pair of black shoes for thesis defenses/presentations.


The latest bargain that I got into was at Tinsley's Flash Sale (Visit Them Here) I got two pairs of women's shoes (a pair of clogs and a pair of wedges) for only PhP 999. They were priced originally at PhP 1550 each. The best bargain, I know! It's not my habit to go online shopping but their deals made me think of revisiting my habits. Kay (the owner of Tinsley) was also so kind, that she asked her brother (who was studying in CSB) to meet with me so I could get the items I have purchased. I have saved, 100 pesos for the shipping fee! Yehey! Visit them to avail more of their great deals!


So all in all, I have purchased 5 pairs for the last 2-3 months. I am considering them more of an investment than gastos. Hee.

How about you girls, where do you usually get those killer bargains? :)
