It’s a new month and it’s that time again to splurge. What else are you gonna do with all that money saved up from not having to spend on commuting?
Traditionally, the middle of the year would mark the arrival of the annual PC show for local tech-heads. But as one would know, now’s not the time to stand in crowded halls together, even if the circuit breaker measures have been eased.
Of course, the show must go on and the Lazada Online Tech Show has returned today (June 4) for another five days dedicated to sweet consumerism and sweeter deals on gadgets. Much like the last sale, Lazada is teaming up with brands to offer deep discounts (up to 80 per cent off) for new gear.
As always, the e-commerce giant is offering incentives when you shop during the period. Top spenders have a chance to win up to $16,000 worth of rewards, including an LG television and a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.
This being a financially unstable time and all, we figured that you might be interested to find out what exactly you can buy without flattening the curve of your wallet. Check it.
