Sale Sale…What did we get this time?

School holidays have over even though it was only one week and also most of the sales have over. During sales, there are some items which are good deal but some are nothing great. As consumer, we need to be careful when we shop especially on the price. PaPa and Mummy will always make price comparison and will wait for special Sale. Besides that, we also make sure that the item is what we really needed to avoid becoming white elephant in our apartment thus taking up space in our limited space apartment.

Our recent purchase which was actually free because we redeemed cash vouchers with our credit card points was a Thermal Pot. We got ourselves a medium size one and Mummy was testing by using it to boil soup for PaPa and Mummy for tonight dinner. It took us some time to decide whether to get it or not. Besides that, Mummy found that we had enough points to exchange for the cash vouchers which were more than enough to get the Thermal Pot. Mummy hoped the soup will be nice by the time Mummy would be back from work for dinner tonight with PaPa.

Why Thermal Pot?
Mummy heard from a lot of people that it was a good buy. Mummy would not have to worry about standing in front of the stove too long or getting worry about the water level using the slow cooker for the whole day.

Mummy gave up on the slow cooker because Mummy tended to put more water to avoid the soup drying up. As usual Mummy would start the slow cook in the morning before work and the soup would be ready by dinner time for PaPa and Mummy. PaPa would always complain that the soup was tasteless because of too much water.

Besides that, it would be mobile which means Mummy could carry the Thermal Pot around and also it helped to save electricity. On top of that, Mummy would not have to worry about the slow cooker on for the whole day while in the office because the Thermal Pot would help to cook the soup and keep it warm till evening without using electricity.

The branded one especially Thermos was very expensive. We were reluctant to spend the money. When we found we can get it for free (using cash vouchers redeemed from our credit card points), then PaPa said that we would get one but we didn’t get Thermos one because it was expensive. We got a cheaper brand. Mummy hoped with this, PaPa and Mummy would be able to get a decent dinner daily.
