Pedicure and Foot Spa?

I used to do my own pedicure. If I'll have somebody doing it at the nail shop it will cost $44.00 + tax. Twice a month pedicure service will cost double that amount which is $ 88.00 plus tax. I know and aware that the foot spa and pedicure service in town have experienced manicurist and pedicurist but because I am very meticulous about myself, my body, and my health. Besides, I can do it myself. I mean I have two hands to do simple task. Bigger complicated task? It should be in black and white...or be reprimanded.

Okay I know I am being an economizer. I am thrifty you know.

Or let say being thrifty is a great compliment it's not a matter of being meticulous.

Common sense plays a role to this task too. I have a daughter who needs twice a month pedicure too so that's costly right? Imagine having the two of us having pedicure at the salon. The cost is $ 176/month + tax + tip.

So why bother when I can do the pedicure for ourselves? That $176.00 worth of savings we can have it for something else like we can buy new shoes, new clothes, or any gadget for the computer or new game for her computer netbook. As a matter of fact I need some memory cards for my digital camera for my photography. So whatever we can save we'll be some other things or any miscellaneous things we need to make us happy in this part of the world. We seldom get out of the house. We live in a place where shopping is not that fabulous. The city where we live is not to be compared to Hong Kong, Singapore or Makati city. The city here is not the city or mecca for shopping. It's like when some people see you shopping till you drop they looked at you like as if you're crazy. The shopaholics in this sleepy area are mostly Filipinos. The white people or the Caucasians are not really into fashion or have passion for wearing fabulous clothes. Unless of course if they are models or celebrities. What they are after are having expensive vehicles for land  and sea and that's good enough. Not to mention they live in big houses so... They don't care about clothing. They don't care about ironed clothes. Once their clothes been washed through the washing machine and dried in the drier that's okay.
