In fact,both Sagar and
Jasleen,extol the benefits of comparing prices.With so many shopping
portals up and running successfully,a wise way to wriggle out of a
sticky situation is to double check the price of your gift
online.Incidentally,the same dress that may cost more on a store can be
had at almost half the price online.
However,cautions Champ,while
that is all appealing,buying online,including gadgets isnt a safe all
proposition.So stick to the ones that you have used earlier.Do a proper
research on their delivery and post-sale activity and then buy to be on a
safer side.
This is the reason,adds the online shopper,why donation
and gift cards are such a big pull.They,adds Sagar,take the entire onus
of choosing a gift for someone.And although fixing a certain amount
could be equally stressful,it is always a safer bet,and much
appreciated.
And in case you are buying gifts then,says Champ,Choose
the COD (cash on delivery) option.This while will rein the urge to
spend more physical money has that controlling effect it also means
that you can double check the gift before the actual process of gifting.
Look for bargain.One of the advantages of late shopping,says
Sagar,is that often you get to crack a deal as the purchase is often in
bulk.And there is a good chance of you getting a little extra,after all
the store has to make all its selling in a stipulated time.Tip: Usually
pick a standard design of the store its likely to fetch you are better
bargain than something new.
And while doing so,beware or pressure
sales tactics.Says Champ,Store representative and sales people are bound
to hound you with innovative offer,dont fall for the
temptation.Remember,if its too good to the ear,its probably not that
good a bargain. For instance,adds Sagar,when a sales representative
tells you that the deal is only available if you buy it right now,you
probably should ask to speak to a manger to hold the price.If they
believe in their product they should want you to feel good about your
purchase and not buy it out of fear of losing a special price.
Last
not the least,says Champ,Try DIY.They not only are a smarter way of
gifting,but buying them turns out to be happily economical,and
outrageously satisfying.
And remember,insist the experts,shop with cash,it limits overspending and impulsive hoarding.
