HOW I SAVE BY SPENDING IN KOREA 😍🇰🇷

Girl math on the caption. 😂

Came back from my autumn trip to Seoul recently and wanted to share a part of my haul #mindfulspending especially since I’m in my #funemployment era. 🥲

The key is only buying things that –

1) Will be used in the near future

2) Will be reused multiple times

3) Have good price-value ratio 🤓

All items were purchased on my day trip in #Hongdae and since I was on a budget, I purposefully kept each item to be below KRW 20,000 😁 I used $ in the image for easy reference since the currency exchange rate is almost 1 to 1 at the moment.

✨Brand Market

• Light brown sweater vest - KRW 13,000

• Light brown skirt - KRW 18,000

• Navy sweater - KRW 18,000

The store only accepts CASH 💰 so please go prepared. Also, they ONLY allowed trying on skirts and bottoms, none of the tops! So I didn’t buy some other tops I was interested in as I wasn’t sure if they would fit.

✨Chaakhan

• White sandals - KRW 5,900

• Black boots - KRW 9,900

These are definitely my best buys of the trip! I’m not kidding about the prices here. 🥹 Managed to cinderella fit 👠 into two pairs of clearance shoes located on level 3 of their main store. Definitely a must visit in Seoul, though it still depends on your luck.

✨Offline Duty Free

• Grey padded top - KRW 7,000

• Socks - KRW 2,000

• Ring - KRW 5,000

👏🏻 These three places are definitely the must-visit stores if you’re on a budget like me. Save this for your next trip to Korea! ✨
