2. Budol Story (Sharing a shopping regret or success)
Title: Nabudol Ako! Mini Portable Washing Machine
What I bought: A mini, portable washing machine I saw on TikTok
Why I bought it: It looked convenient for washing small loads, and I thought it would save time instead of using a full-sized washer.
What happened after: It was too small, couldn’t handle even a few shirts properly, and the motor felt weak. Ended up never using it again.
Was it worth it or a waste? Total waste. A basin and my hands would’ve done a better job.
Lesson learned: TikTok makes everything look amazing, but I need to check real reviews first!

3. Budol Alert! (Warning about overpriced, overhyped, or scammy products)
Title: Budol Alert! Foldable Electric Kettle for Travel
What is it: A collapsible electric kettle made of silicone
Where it’s being sold: TikTok
Why I think it’s a budol: The concept is nice, but a lot of reviews say it leaks or the material melts over time. Some people even reported electrical issues.
Alternative options (if any): Better to buy a good-quality, compact electric kettle instead of a foldable one. Durability > gimmicks.

5. Tipid Tips (Sharing budgeting or saving hacks)
Title: How I Stopped Impulse Buying on Shopee
The problem: I used to buy random items from Shopee/Lazada just because they were on sale. My cart was always full, and I spent way more than I needed.
What I did to save money: Now, I add items to my cart but wait 3 days before checking out. If I still want it after 3 days, then I allow myself to buy it.
How much I saved: My random spending went down by at least 50%, and I only buy things I really need.
Would I recommend this to others? Yes! It makes me think twice before spending.
