I am a hoarder!!!

I am a hoader.
Period.

A lot of things happen to me since I became a mother. The level of kiasu-ism went off the roof!
When I started buying baby's stuff before I gave birth, I bought what I felt was good and I was able to splurge actually on a lot of things.
In fact, I spent a lot in the first few months of Rania's birth. A lot!
But it was manageable because she was the first kid.

Until I sat down one day and calculated our baby expenses.
Already my pregnancy was very costly because I bled throughout my first trimester and the change of 3 gynaes to find the right one and finally the birth itself.

Then I kinda terbegik (choked) and realized that a little savings goes a long way.
A lot of people save money on milk because they buy them from Malaysia or Batam and some from the Chinese Traditional stores (sinseh shops) and I was actually tempted to do that.

So I went around asking if the milk was ok and most mummies said that it was ok and their babies are fine with it and how much money they saved.
It is very tempting you know!!!

Then someone came to me and said, "It just like Milo. Milo Malaysia and Milo Singapore taste different."

So that actually made up my mind that I will only buy Rania's milk at the supermarkets in Singapore. I remember buying Rania's S26 Stage 1 for $42 per tin and eventually Stage 2 was selling at $38 per tin.

I terbegik (choked) again when I saw the prices recently on the shelves.

I was swearing SUBTLY to the manufacturers thinking that they raise the prices because we have a baby boom this year. Everyone wants a dragon baby.
I was glad though that I had a good buy a couple of months before that. 2 big tins of Stage 2 with free small tin for $77.60.

Today even that set is selling for $85.50.

Crazy isn't it?

Like how I would buy Johnson Baby Wipes which was originally $3.20 per pkt and they were on sale for $2 a pc. And I love Johnson baby wipes. The wipes are thick and moist and a swipe cleans a LOT!



If you come by to my room now, you will see that I have 14 diaper bags neatly arranged on my wardrobe. Taka Baby Fair is definitely a must-go where each tape diapers of Huggies Ultra costed me $10.95 instead of the usual $17.55.
Then last week I was at NTUC and I saw Ultra PANTS going at 2 bags for $30.55 instead of $21 per bag. And I love pants especially when we are out. It is so easy!

Of course I grabbed them!



I am a Mummy hoarder. Are you?
