subject: Shopping In Festival Season [print this page] Don"t mistake it with the regular shopping you do every month or every week. I am going to tell you how to make the most of the offers that flood the market space during festive season. Here is a solution to avoid festive celebrations burn a hole in your pocket and liberate you to enjoy each festival with a free sprit.
First things first, do your research well. Pick up your newspaper or your neighbour"s newspaper and scan it for all the offers that are available. Such offers are for limited time period only so make sure you read that very carefully. Also understand the scheme right. Up to 20% discount is not same as flat 20% discount. It might be good to go in where flat 20% discount is available because no matter what you pick up it comes at 20% less which is not the case with "up to 20% discount" schemes.
Such shopping is not restricted to apparels and FMCGs only; at festive season sizable discounts are available on home appliances, cars and many others. So if its time to change your stove you know what to do. In a nutshell know what you want to buy this festive season rather than following such marketing gimmicks.
Do some future planning. If you are planning to visit your out-station relatives and celebrating with them then shop for them too while the schemes are on. Buying them branded perfumes that cost you half the original price is sure to make both of you happy. Usually during festive season attractive offers are available on chocolate. Beautifully packed chocolates boxed at discounted price is a good purchase for your young nephew.
You surely don"t want to miss the home decoration items available exclusively during festive season. Such festive specific decoration pieces are usually displayed at exhibitions only. Find out where in your town such exhibitions are held and make some thoughtful purchases for your home as well as for your friends.
If you have children, involve them too in such activities and they are going to love it for sure. They can even help you find offers over the internet for online purchase or help you in wrapping gifts that you shopped for family and friends. If you motivate them enough they can also make beautiful and creative paper handbags which you can use to keep the gifts in!
Festive season is a lot more fun when celebrating it with loved ones and shopping thoughtfully.
