Sale Time!

There are two season in the city when almost everything in the shops are on sale and that really is the best time to go shopping especially on big ticketed items like furniture and electronics.

Lasting for about 4-6 weeks each time, one sale period starts from after Christmas and the other from mid Aug thereabouts.

When we first arrived, we cashed in on the Aug sale to buy our furniture and electrical appliances. Think we saved quite a bit of money thanks to the sale.

Some of the sale promotions really made us do a double take. One smaller shop was advertising "Buy 3 get 2 free" but we knew that it was going to be near impossible to get 5 items from there.

Walk into the bigger departmental stores, and your ears will be greeted with sale slogans that are aired in replay mode and there is something with how they say the phrase "absolutely free". Unforgettable.

"Spend Rs5000 and get xxx absolutely free". "Buy xxx now and get xxx absolutely free". 

Well, last week was the last weekend of the sale and this was what I picked up from Accessorize at 70% discount. So pretty!
