Last minute school shopping
Greetings and blessings to everyone in this community of @weekend-experience, I had some time without passing by here to tell you about my weekends, although I have been reading your posts in your entries in the weekends initiative, worth the redundancy heh, heh, heh.
Today I tell you about what we did this past Saturday, in which once again, as it has happened to me on other occasions, due to lack of planning or rather lack of money, I left the shopping for my daughter Arianna's school supplies for the last minute.
Since classes would start on Monday, that is, yesterday, and I still had several things to buy. So, in the morning, my husband dropped us off at the center, so we could visit the stores, check prices and shop.
I usually check that center from top to bottom and this one spans two very long streets. Walking them with Ambar loaded is something that tires me a lot, so I wanted to walk as little as possible, in the second shoe store we entered we saw some shoes and school pants at a good price and of good quality.
We did not hesitate and asked for both to be measured, the pants, was wide, different from what she wore, it seemed like a gentleman, it looked great; however, when she measured it was perfect, it is wide, fits the body and is cool, she does not like clothes so tight.
When she went to measure the shoes, what surprised us, they brought her a size 36, according to them they were big, they did not fit her, neither the 37, nor the 38, these last ones were just right. I like to buy them loose, so that they last, so we got her a size 39. She already has a woman's foot and she is only 9 years old. Maybe because she spends her time barefoot at home, heh, heh, heh, heh. She was delighted with the purchase.
Then we continued walking, looking at stores of what we needed to buy and other things, for example there were some very nice clothes, which I would like to buy for my girls for Christmas.
We had not walked very far, when they saw a sale of ice cream and they craved it, I bought it for them and as they were walking, Ambar was throwing it all away. This part of the ice cream can not miss every time we go out, sometimes I pass by the other side, so that they do not see it, for this very reason, that gets dirty clothes, but still they ask for it loudly, ice cream, ice cream ....
Anyway, we continued our walk, seeing that the shirts varied in price and when we entered a store that was cheaper and looked good, there we did not stay, it turns out that there was a long queue to pay, we did it and when we got to the cashier, my debit card did not want to pass, it has some problem in the chip, it has already happened to me several times, the good thing that I had been buying with the service of Bío Pago, which is with the fingerprint, but in that store there was not. So I made my queue in vain, we could not buy.
We went to a store to buy underwear, we entered because they provided the mobile payment service, after we spent a while choosing what we would buy, a problem arose with some customers who wanted to be served quickly by the mobile payment, they and the manager said a few words to each other, the latter decided not to offer the service anymore. Once again we were left without buying.
We continued our way, looking for places where they offered the service of Bío Pago and we could buy what was missing, we were buying some things, like pencil, silicone, pencil sharpeners and so on, when we queued to pay the Bío Pago was down, NO WAY, I was already stressed and regretting for leaving everything to the last minute. We could not buy either.
I called my husband who was shopping in the market to come and lend me his card so we could continue shopping, besides it was getting late, we were tired. So when he arrived we went to all the places where we had not been able to shop and we finally succeeded.
The good thing was that we had time to buy everything he needed to go to school, because it started to rain and when we got into the car the downpour began, when we got to the apartment, as God would have it, a lot of water fell, and as soon as we got to our home we could see everything white in the distance because of all the water falling from the sky. We were saved from getting wet.
Arianna was happy, because she would be bringing all her new things to start her first day of school, she put what we bought in the furniture and then spent the rest of the weekend organizing her things, the ones she already had and the new ones.
As an anecdote regarding her school supplies, years ago, when Arianna was about 2 years old, her dad and I each bought a set of school supplies, mine I gave to my older daughter and the one he bought now is the one that Arianna will use. So we saved quite a bit on that part.
I hope to learn from all this and try not to leave these purchases to the last minute, what I can tell you is that I was not the only one, the center was full and most were buying school supplies and uniforms. So this weekend, a large percentage of the Venezuelan population was in this.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend doing something nice and useful. Thank you for reading, God bless you.

What a beauty Leidimar as always you with your daughters buying their things for school, the best thing the happy face of her showing her school possessions.
Somehow knowing the center of cumana , and the smallest one was brava, I think she wanted you to buy her things to study at home too.
Beautiful all three @leidimarc
Yes Arianna was happy with her purchases.
I tell her it's her sister's turn next, I was going to buy a pair of pants for Ambar but it was in one of the stores where they didn't let her pay with the mobile payment and then we didn't go back to that store.
If she didn't want pictures, I took that one of the store carelessly hehehehe.

Face to face classes also started here in my country and we had a hard time in buying school school. It was out of stock. Several manufacturer stopped the production since it was only online classes for almost two years.
Is that your daughter? She is good in posing at the camera🙂
Hola amiga, creo que dejar todo para ultima hora es mal d los venezolanos, bueno d algunos, como nosotras jaja, yo todavía ando comprándola lista de útiles de Micaela que es interminables, y eso que solo va para 3 er nivel, aunque concuerdo con lo dices, muchas veces no es falta de organización, sino falta de dinerito, con el favor de Dios ya mañana termino con la lista jaja. Saludos, que bueno que pudieron comprar lo que necesitaban para el cole. Feliz noche.
Si vale es una costumbre de nunca acabar. Pero es por eso porque el dinero lo destinamos para otra cosa, pero cuando es urgente, de donde sea sacamos el dinero y compramos.
Feliz noche.
Yo tengo un reto personal de haber agarrado los ruedos de los pantalones todos los años a última hora...
Amiga, esos momentos de comprar el uniforme con nuestra madre no se olvidan nunca. Q lindo q puedas compartir y crear esos momentos.
Un abrazo 🤗🤗

Salir a comprar sobre la hora es un estrés te entiendo y más cuando los clientes no colaboran y discuten con el gerente jajaja que locura amiga te entiendo.
Lo bueno es que pudiste comprarle las cosas para clases y encima el helado que no puede faltar, que rico. 🤟🏽😜
Ayyy friend I love to go shopping but you know my children not so much, so I try to compare things by part and what I can buy without them is better, in this case necessarily shoes if I buy with them, notebooks and some coasts too, but I had previously gone to see places where we could possibly buy more cheaply, because they don't like to walk a lot and queue less, that's why I don't like to be in the rush at the last minute because of the queues and the crowd of people on all sides.
And if it's like you say, this weekend was total shopping madness for school, even on Monday because I went for some texts for my daughter and the queue was horrible, yesterday I went for other things that my son was asked for technical drawing and there was also a long queue. It's good that in the final you were able to solve the purchases with your husband's card and that the girls ate their ice creams. The rain is a blessing, but of course when we are at home we do not want to get wet in the street. Thank you for sharing your post friend, Greetings and success in this beginning of the school year for your girls. Blessings.
Así es amiga, los muchachos no le gusta hacer cola, pero yo le digo que es para ella y bueno me tiene que acompañar jejeje.
Si estaba full y bueno cuando esperamos a última hora hay que aguantar lo que venga.
Y ahora es que van a seguir las compras por el pago de una parte de los aguinaldos
Si esos helados nunca fallan y como dices la lluvias son bendiciones. Lo malo son las gripes jejeje
