SHOPPING TACTICS💯
Kolkata is the only place where you can find different stories in every corner. We are steeped in tradition and culture but not behind in fashion either, but first, we need to know some basic rules. As a Bengali street shopping lover, usually, I follow a list before going to any market or even in online shopping too and it works amazingly for me, I am now able to find the perfect thing for me at a convenient time.
Here is a fully organized list that I follow and trust me if you start following it accordingly, shopping will be easier for you and at the same time you will be able to control your "fashion and finances" together.
We make a list when we do grocery shopping so why not in general shopping also? Both are the same thing and it's not just about what we buy it's about getting our things done perfectly and on time. I know this may sound like an unnecessary, time-wasting thing, but it's better to spend some time pre-organizing instead of wasting your time on shopping-related confusion.
👠How to know your necessities
It is also very important to know your requirements first, what we usually do is to we go to the market, and the first thing that catches our eyes we buy it without any thinking and after a few times we realize "it is not going well with me" and that dress sits in the closet for days waiting to be worn at the right time which seems unnecessary, so always make a clear thought first and then write it down on a paper or notepad.
If you want a grand or simple something or you are looking for a gift for someone else, make a list of what he/she likes or what you think is suitable for them and if you are looking for something for yourself, think somewhere you must wear it. As for me, I usually always buy clothing when an occasion arrives, it may sound like a "moment of moments" but with this reminder, I have always been able to successfully buy perfect clothing and other accessories.
😎 Do not fall for any discounts or sale
When we do street shopping or online shopping we get many discounts and sales offers and we fall for them it's very common but the seller stands there to sell it's their job but it's our job to decide whether we actually need it or not otherwise we get involved and end up buying unnecessary stuff, yes there. Exceptional if you have wanted a dress for so long and are waiting for the price to drop, you can go for it.
💸Set a budget
It is very important to always set a budget and make sure we don't go over the limit. A small trick that can save your money is to always pay in cash because when it comes to spending through plastic cards or e-banking, you spend a lot in the blink of an eye, I know you are now saying “so what about cash on delivery then?" But again in my experience when I pay through "COD" I spend less than e-banking because paying with cash feels more real and we have to carry that concept to avoid those impulsive purchases.
😕Always Shop alone
I used to make this mistake a lot so I couldn't shop accordingly and I had a bad habit of not facing my fear of going out alone I thought it was a big deal for me and what if I messed up? But eventually, I messed up anyway, I was shy and didn't know how to stand up, and told myself I'm a grown woman now I don't need to worry about anything anymore. You are shopping for yourself because only you know what you like, what suits you best and when you go out shopping with somebody else you get confused because your preferences are opposite. So make sure you carve out some time for yourself and get yourself out alone.
These are some tips that I specifically follow and it does work really well for me and I hope it helps you too somewhere. I will see you in my next blog on where to shop so stay tuned, thank you............
