shopping trip to Surrey, BC

on Oct 12, 2008 - hubby went to Abbotsford with some of Chinese friends to pick up furniture for the office from his uncle's place.

As for me (& the Chinese ladies), Prof. Lisa & Holly, we decided to go o Surrey for little shopping trip. We left home around 11.30 am and i was the driver of Lisa's Ford Explorer truck. Over here, they called a big car as a truck. I've driven her truck many times now & i really enjoy it.

See the photo of the Ford Explorer below:



This truck is way bigger than my Jeep Liberty :) but i still loves the Jeep Liberty as it is easier to handle for city driving.

While driving down to Surrey, not far from home yet - i saw our Jeep & the trailer were coming from the other direction. I quickly honked hubby & get my subscripted sunglasses. yeah..have to wear sunglasses to prevent wrinkles around the eyes LOL...

We arrived at the Guildford Shopping Centre in Surrey around 12.20 pm - went to Motherhood Maternity store to exchange clothing that i bought on Friday before. For a normal price of $35.00 maternity skirt, i exchanged it for another 1 maternity skirt, 1 legging pant & 1 camisole ;)

Then we moved on to the Bay where i got another very good deal on Estee Lauder products.Since i was almost ran out of toner, i decided to buy the biggest bottle. in USA, it will cost about US$29.50 but for some reasons, eventhought it cost about Cad$39.00 in Canada, i dont mind buying it here as i can use my 10% off HBC coupon and collects HBC points that will automatically transfer to Airmiles points later.

Beside the toner, i bought a Hydra Bright moisturizer (in special package - see photo)for Cad$57.00 (in USA US$47.50):



Another best deal that i got from buying those 2 products was i get a GWP (gift with purchase). Currently, the Bay does not offers any GWP for Estee Lauder. So how did i get the GWP? Ask the friendly promoter hehehe. She told me that if i buy those 2 products which value more than Cad$100.00, she can give me the last month ended promotion GWP. Yes!!! Sold!!!

With less than $100.00 (with coupon), i got the 4-pcs skin regimen (full size Hydra Bright mosturizer with small sizes of Cleanser, Advanced Night Serum & Pore Minimizing Serum), 1 big bottle of 400ml toner and GWP consists of 2 cosmetic bags,a full-size lipstick, 4 colours eye-shadow, 7ml Hydra Bright moisturizer, 30 ml Smoothing Manicure/Pedicure Treatment lotion (i was wishing to try this product couple months ago) and 2.8ml mascara.

I can tell you, i walked out from the Bay with BIG SMILE!!! Holly asked me whether i regularly use those stuff, i said 'yes' and asked her to touch my face. She said "wow...very smooth like silk" :D

From the Bay, we went to the Asian supermarket, the T&T. By then, i was hungry and since my 2 friends reluctant to have lunch (they have brunch before we left actually), so i went to the Food Court alone :( O well, pregnant woman can't escape meal. As for me, must eat before i become really,really hungry to avoid over-eating later.

After lunch, i joined my friends do groceries shopping in T&T till 2.30pm. We arrived home around 3.20pm, just enought time for Holly to get ready for her evening working hours.
