Looking at all of this sparkling discount I know that I am one of the lucky girl in the
world. And why? Yes, I’ve just bought two pieces of blouse only with 160.
Imagine that. And I love these green couples.
Everytime I go shopping with my mother it is like an
alarm in my head that say do not easily trust the discount or to what the
shopkeeper say to you.
First case. The discount. When you enter the shop and see
all of that colourfull papers hanging on the wall with some magic numbers your
eyes will surely become bigger. Buy one get two. Buy two get one. Twenty
percents. Fifty. Seventy. Wow. The girls, including me and you, and the mothers
will say the same. Wow. Once again. And finally drown into the discount pool.
Without realising the money that thrown away at the cashier we feel happy for
some pieces of cloths that we actually do not really need. And after awhile
when we came home..tadaa...no more money and regret remains.
The prize tag on my new blouses said that they were more
than 300 each in normal day. And on this very special day, they are only 80.
So, I guess it must be hurt for someone who has bought this one sometime ago.
But time is not the problem here because at this case by the time being we have
take advantage of using the blouse. And by selling under the normal price, the
producer will not lose anything at all. The
problem is by giving us the beautiful feeling of getting discount they get some
money and we spent more money which is in not in a good way. You and I might
not really need the things. We might have bought them too much because of the
low prices. And then finally when we have to buy the real need or something we
really want we will spent more and more money. Who get the advantage now? The
shop.
Second case. The shopkeeper. They must have been in the
same and long training to say “Oh, it’s a good stuff for you. You will regret
not to having one now, it is the last stock. It fits you well. You are very
beautiful with this on your feet”. And any other sweet trapping words. Wake up girls,
of course they will say so. Why? Are they lying? Might be. Hello, remember that
they are selling and telling what you want to listen not to what you should
know. They are selling not giving you the best advice but what makes you buy.
Just a little advice from me, trust yourself to choose
and do not buy only because of the hanging magic numbers of discount. Because
at last the one who will wear the things is you, who spent the money and feel
the uncomrtable is you. If you say yes, buy it. If you say no, don’t dare to
touch that things again.
Good luck on shopping today.. Lucky I am.. J
