Ah yee has a stall at the flea market this afternoon and she has no help. So mummy has offered to help at no cost. I think this is the 3rd or 4th time that mummy helped out at the flea market at no cost. Other than manpower, I have also contributed lots of clothes, shoes and accessories that I no longer wear. Lil Shauna contributed her out grown clothes and shoes too. :)
We were there since 3pm and ended the session at about 7.30pm. Subtracting the rental, ah yee made about $200. That should last the jobless ah yee for awhile. I realised that Singaporeans are usually the ones selling and PHL and other foreign workers are the ones buying. The good pieces can fetch $5 to $10 in the beginning and towards the very end, 2 pieces can go for $1. Pathetic? But that is better than having to lug the unwanted clothes back home.
Whenever ah yee gets a stall, the whole family helps out from ferrying the goods to manning the stall to taking care of babies. Each has their roles. We dun really mind helping out. Afterall, these are unwanted stuff (some our own and some from friends) and ah yee made extra pocket $$ using her own effort. Better than having her ask us for $$.
I think we will do this again in the near future. Afterall, we ladies always seem to have things that we no longer want and of course we need to replace those unwanted things with new ones and when the new ones are here, we need to make space for them. Nope, we are not spendthrift, we are just doing our part to boost the economy. :)
