Each of the cells under these 4 right-hand columns must contain info on item description (brand / color / dimensions) + price. It might take me 2 hours to complete the canvassing, but then I'd be able to maximize the minimal funds. I hope I don't suddenly get lazy and just buy in one place... This just might be useful for someone else out there... God bless and happy shopping! ‘The inspiration just hit me: since I have a major home organization project (and a minor budget) in mind, I’ll make a Canvassing table (nope, not suitable for Comelec use): 1st 4 columns on the left–item (basket, rack, etc.) / place (bedroom, kitchen, etc.) / use (spice jars, laundry, etc.) / dimensions (max. depth, height, width); then four columns on the right — Saizen, Daiso (on the same floor in Galle), Handyman, Robinson’s Department Store.

It's actually good to go shopping armed with specific things and the will to stick with it. Apart from this practice being budget-friendly, you'll be able to enjoy "just browsing". The experience will be a whole lot more fun minus all the stress of calculating and making decisions. Hehe. Your tips make sense.

I don't have any issue with made in China merchandise, vice made in Japan, but I do look for quality - and that's where you find the difference in products. Yes, a shop like Saizen is good for window shopping, so you have ideas, and things you might look for elsewhere, closer to home, where you shop more often.
