#FlipkartFreedomSale, Big Bazaar Maha Bhachat Days, Shopclues Independence Day Sale, Myntra Sale and lots more. This weekend promises to be a shopping bonanza weekend for everybody. Whether it is online stores giving things at heavy discounts or retail giants like Big Bazaar offering slashed prices from 13-17 August, the concept of grabbing a deal is what drives us.
But these are just the biggest names. Walk down to your nearest market and you'll find every shop giving offers whether in the name of Independence Day, Rakhi or Monsoon. And yet, we'll bargain. To get a discount on a discount is like winning a jackpot. So, what drives us to bargain, spend 15 minutes extra arguing over a price and getting completely drained out at the end of the day? Here's the secret.
Every bit matters, every last teeny tiny bit
Drop by drop you can fill the bucket
We Indians are quite 'kanjoos' and if we can save even Rs. 5 we will do it. Of course, our Math is also a bit weak. Arguing over that Rs.5 made the last bus home leave and now we have to take the auto. So, did we save?
A 10 per cent discount looks so fake to us
Hmm discounts..
If you know the proper technique of bargaining and can get the shopkeeper coiled up in your sweet talk, then you can even get up to 30% discount. Those sale banners are just show off. You still need to get the price down.
Satisfaction of buying more with less
Our Reaction after a good deal
This totally makes it all right, the satisfaction and proud feeling you get when you get home knowing that you have successfully saved money is like nothing else.
The festivals are coming and you feel so poor
Save money
With so many gift exchange happening in the festivals, saving even the last penny is super duper important.
It helps to know the real value of the product
I see you, you can’t con me
Most of the time, products are priced in such a way that it's way more than its real value and the shopkeeper might be counting on your innocence to buy the product at the said price.
You need the brand, but you need it cheap
Because money don’t grow on trees
If you don't have a brand, you're nobody, but you are not ready to pay a high amount. The other alternative, big fat sales and then asking for a further discount on it. The shopkeeper can definitely do a bit more.
