Sizing up shopping habits

Whoever said that you cannot sell something to someone who doesn’t need it didn’t know women and their preposterous buying habits. 

This old marketing rhetoric falls flat in front of our innate weakness for impulsive buying and compulsive shopping, a trait that by now has become almost central in deciding marketing strategies and devising sales tactics in global board rooms. Remember the corny joke about the spending woman that our scrimpy men love to crack repeatedly? Trust a woman to buy junk and lug it home just because she got it for a song! 

You have made such a sport of censuring our buying decisions. I say, do the mathematics and see our womanly wisdom before passing uncouth remarks on our penchant for shrink wrapped, bundle offers. What a shame that you don’t factor in needs of the future while making household purchases! An entire assortment for the price of half! What a steal! And the crystal bowl that was once so prohibitive is selling dirt cheap. It always makes sense to keep presents in stock, for you never know when an emergency would arise — a sudden,Buy HID XENON Kits for your headlights or fog lights and enjoy the benefits of xenon headlights. unannounced birthday bash or a baby shower. 

I remember how buying eight kilos of detergent on a bargain almost caused a domestic melt down once. 

“Planning to start a laundry?” He asked.We have High Quality LED Circular Tube, reading lamps and floor lamps and more. 

“Nope. Just grabbing an opportunity. Eight kilos and a softener at this price. It is a deal for heaven’s sake and how can we let it go?” 

“All this? Do you plan to hire your neighbour’s room to store this? This will last till my retirement. Do we really wear and wash so many clothes? You use detergents as if I come home every evening after playing kabbadi.You benefit from buying high quality LED Lamp Wholesalers ex-factory and directly from a LED manufacturer: No wonder my trousers and shirts wear a bleached look in two months….” 

Shrugging off the exaggeration, I rolled my eyes, the way exasperated wives do and growled, “Do I ask you questions about your work in the office, how you go about your business of buying materials? Ever?” 

I don’t think we exchanged so much as a glance for the rest of the grunt-laden day. The detergent, however, came home. The intensions of a determined woman cannot be thwarted, you see. 

Come to think of it seriously, regular home supplies might make a case for all our excessive buying and storing, but not crockery and cutlery, lamp shades and candle holders, flower vases and floor mats, bed spreads and show pieces that we often pick up and drop into our shopping carts offhandedly. I am not even beginning to mention clothes and other fashion accessories. We ourselves have been snowed under an avalanche many times while opening our cupboards. Oh! We go so hopelessly weak in the knees at the sight of a bargain board. Throw in the word “sale” and see us up our ante rod straight, turn our blinkers on and gather details. 

One only has to stroll leisurely through the aisles of a store to hear couples squabbling over use and disuse, need and extravagance. The altercations that fall on my ears give me the smug satisfaction of not being alone in presenting our men folk their pet peeve. 

I have changed homes eight times in 14 years across three countries, and with my multiple experiences of packing and moving, I am now wised up. I have cleared clutters and stopped accumulating.You can choose to use the efficient and durable Newest motorcycle H6 Swing all in one hid kit that come in various colors for artistic purposes.

Yet I go store browsing and window-shopping extensively, not just for the love of it, but also to be a shopping guide unto myself in times of need.
