That's It, No More Bags For Me!

Online shopping is evil!!!

That's my excuse and it's what I'm gonna say when, once again, a few packages will arrive at home this weekend. :P

I confess, I have not been able to put a stop to this unhealthy spending for bags. I'm usually good at waiting, tempering and making sure I exercise practicality over needless spending. But the last couple of weeks, I've been really bad at it. :{ Guilt is slowly gnawing through my system.

Last night, I received a text message from Rootote confirming which of these two I'm getting:

I ended up on their site after clicking and following links and saw that they were actually having a month-long sale. The prices were not bad and ordinarily I would think more than once to get these items at their original prices.

But because the  prices have been cut to 50%, I could not resist sending an email expressing my interest on two bags.

These are also eco-bags which have this built-in roo pockets inside, I may not need having a bag organizer. It's cute and functional, thus, perfectly what I want from a bag.

The style I picked (Medium) didn't have a zipper on the top side, which really works for me since I don't normally zip my bag when inside stores. (I just tuck it really close to my pits!)

So anyway, when I didn't receive any feedback the next day after emailing them, I thought I've been saved, I mean, my wallet has been spared. But around 9ish pm, someone did try to confirm and was waiting for my reply.

Oh,  how I tried rationalizing to myself! Here's how it went in my head:

• Oh, no! Now I have to confirm about getting one!
• But I just got a new bag! 
• But this one's on sale!!! 
• I may not get the same designs again!
• I may not even be able to buy from that site again!
• Oooh, which one should I get?
• Go with the kangaroo! The kangaroo's unique.
• Right! If I have to get a bag that says Rootote on it, it might as well have a kangaroo in the print!
• But that's a rabbit, not a roo!

Anyway, I'm just waiting to hear from them about getting my payment and shipment schedule.

Thing was, before I go text confirmation from Rootote, I just closed a deal on E-bay and bought this Japanese tote with Feiler prints.

Though this one only costs about P250, including shipping, the fact is --- I just bought one bag too many and would have to exercise discipline for real this time!

So, tell me is that popular Bagaholic site a place where I should sign up for a 12-step program to stop this addiciton?
