Controversial on the Robinson Vouchers

Hello....it's me...this is not NRAF..something wrong with my BLOG account..so decided to hijack NRAF's account and blog under his name...whahaha...I threaten to blog PORN pics under his name too..and then point fingers at him and cry foul!!..Lalalalalala


Serious Business...Let me list down the expenditure to date: -

1. Sealy 125th limited edition mattress (2399 mattress + 125 bedframe)


Here's the controversial..Hubby was upset that he forgotten to use his robinson vouchers when we made the purchase on Xmas eve...so when he called Robinson, he was sooooo delighted when he was told that he can use the vouchers....Hubby got some vouchers plus I also received a $100 voucher from Aunt Linda for Xmas...Now here's the tricky part..Hubby claimed that he wanted to use the instalment plan since it is interest free..so that we can ease our cash flow..However, Hubby went to purchase some more robinson vouchers online using CASH....of cos the vouchers were purchased at a discount...

Thou I am happy that Hubby got a great deal, BUT I was wondering why do we wan to use real hard cash to buy the vouchers when the purpose of us going for the instalment plan was to ease cash flow...*scratch head*...So even thou we are getting the vouchers at a discount, but our objective was to use our cash on hand wisely right??

Atlas, Hubby explained to me that the purpose of him going for the instalment plan was that: -

1. It is interest free
2. The instalment plan can start just in time so that the plan will end by the time the free 1 year subscription of the card expires.
3. Of cos it will let us have some spare cash on hand!!


Hmmm...sound v logical...ehhh...*scratch head again*...dunno man...Hubby further explained that easing cash flow was NOT THE MAIN REASON why he chose to go for the instalment plan..but just that with the above scenario, it is a "MIGHT AS WELL" kind of reasoning as to why we chose instalment plan...Plus he explained the idea that vouchers are a pain in the ass as it FORCES the consumer to buy something from the store just to use the vouchers...So MIGHT AS WELL use it now and kill it off!!!

Conclusion: my hubby is DAMN wise with his money...Despite this controversial, Hubby has still gotten a great deal on his online purchase of the vouchers...

Great work Hubby!!...but poor me...I think I m in for a hard time cos I m NEVER wise with my money...think probably in future Hubby will suggest that I get daily allowance from him and confiscate all my PLASTICS!!!....scary...
