Robinson Sales | Aussino Sales | Curtains and Blinds.

I touched down on Saturday morning. Bf had an overnight mahjong. Both tired, we hit Expo for the Robinson's sales. Our main objective is to buy bedsheet at discounted price!

Bedsheets are categorised in to Thread Counts. The higher the Thread Count, the better it is. In terms of comfort, softness and lasting. The different type of material like cotton, satin, silk, etc that justify the suitness for different climate or temperature. European and egyptian bedsheets are known better quality.

The range of prices is dramatic. General brands at thread count between 400-500 in King size bedsheet only will cost at least $150 onwards. Quilt covers are most expensive, including pillow cases and bolster case, it can easily cost you $300 ++!!

Better brand can come up to $1k!!! Branded ones are $3k!!!!! Diaoz...

Actually, Robinson departmental stores were having sales for their cardmembers, and it was quite attractive. Knowing Robinson always conduct sales for members only, we decided to send in our applications for it too. =) We thought we will have to wait till we received the approval of the card, then we could make use of the it to enjoy the next sales, but from papers, we found out Robinson's have extended sales and it's more attractive and it's also held at Expo! Therefore, we only paid about $150 for a 420 TC bedsheet!! =) =)

Other than that, we had a good spree. Too many items to state them one by one. From bedlinens to household stuffs. We had so many bags with us, excluding two pillows and an iron board. My pretty auntie tagged along to share her experiences on every thing we bought, making sure we bought the right and useful ones among the so many selections. I gained little knowledges on even smallest things. Even clothes hanger can!

Oh.. harvey norman sales was next door. We wanted just a cheap iron but I never realise iron nowadays have so many function! It can even auto off within 3 seconds it was left untouched. It can even wash on it's own by pressing a button. Wow....!!

Ok.. I am really not very well versed in any household item la... That's why I am pretty amazed by what I have learned.

On Sunday, it was another bedsheet spree. My aunt had a 40% member's birthday month discount at Aussino. And so coincidentally, Aussino is also having sales for selected items. I bought another set of king size bedsheet set (including pillow case) at 400TC, king size quilt cover 340TC, single size quilt cover 340TC, super single size bedsheet set(including pillow case and bolster case), one quilt, and a small pillow at a total of only $250!!

I am so happy with all good buys and I am also an Aussino member!

It's a bit lengthy, but I thought it might be useful to some friends who are preparing for their future too.. Ha... Just one word of advice. Become a member of useful stores TODAY!!! Wahaha...

This post is not ending yet...
