smart shopping


After the Dutch government fell this past April, the current five party coalition in Parliament agreed to a set of austerity measures in order to meet the EU requirement that Member States have a deficit below 3% of GDP.One of the key changes is that the general value added tax (VAT, or belasting toegevoegde waarde (BTW) in Dutch) rate will be increased from 19% to 21% starting on October 1, 2012. Increasing it will also reduce the spending power of Dutch households! 

 This week is totally hectic for me because I have to buy all the things I need! well it's not that I really really need it... (A new LCD, Shoes and Clothing for the Winter, a Billy bookshelf from the Ikea to place all my new shoes and uuhmmm Mac Make up and the new IPHONE 5 and so on;)


Anyway gals what are you waiting for! Go shopping... what is on your shoppinglist?

  1. Haha, maar sommige bedrijven gaan juist weer niet hun prijzen verhogen omdat ze die verhoging misschien niet doorrekenen aan klanten. Maar ik ben benieuwd.. Ik wil sowieso nog wel iets kopen :'). Maar wat, hmm. Ik weet het niet
