New Year, Coupons, and a new mobile phone?

By | January 19, 2009

With Chinese New Year approaching, our NT$3600 coupons in our pocket… lots of people are now getting ready for the New Year. This usually involves buying new cars, houses, furniture, clothes, etc.. It can be a pretty expensive time of year, but this time the economic impact of idle workers, factories closing, and cut bonuses means that people are taking more innovative ways to cut expenses and have a good new year.

Shopping for discount furniture, judicious use of those coupons, bargain hunting, checking for sales coupons, … all of that is going on this year even more intensely than in the past.

And, yes! I have those coupons, too. What can I buy…? New mobile phone, new PC?… It’s only NT$3600 (about US$110). And here’s a picture of the coupons!

And more stories…
