It pays to Window Shop
Monday this week, I went to Limketkai Mall to shop at Robinsons and Value Shop. It took only less than 10 minutes to buy all the items I needed. I needed to buy some new personal stuff like bath towels and new coffee mug, and some shirts. Shopping, while true to be a fun and exciting activity, can sometimes be so taxing your time and energy. So, it being a leisurely activity turns into a stressful one. Who would want that? No one wants to spend to get stress, right? Well, unless you’re a masochist.

I suggest that it is best to go traipse around your favorite mall to know what brand, which store, location and price ahead of time. This will save up time and energy when the shopping time comes. Just make certain that when you window shop and find an item you really like, ask if they have many stocks in the storeroom or if it is a saleable item. The volume of stock and the salability of the item will give you some sort of idea, assurance or confidence that whenever you come back after a day or two, the item is still there. No matter how many stocks they have though or whether the item does not sell like hotcakes, it is best to come back as soon as possible to buy the item. Otherwise, it will frustrate you much to come back and find out that the item is not in the rack anymore. This happened to me quite a lot of instances already. I learned my lesson. I window shop a day or two before my payday, this assures me that the item will still be in its same location when I come back to buy it.
Beside all of these, the main reason why I do window shop is that it motivates me to go to work and earn extra by rendering overtime and work-on-rest-days to get that extra pay. It allows me to see my job in a whole new perspective. It keeps me see things positively. I always go home happy and inspired after window shopping. So, I make it a habit to window shop before buying.
Next time, when you have extra time, try window shopping. I tell you, it pays.
Happy shopping! : )
