Its that time of the year again.. when shopportunities come knocking at your door!With newspapers screaming sales everyday , its pretty hard to turn a deaf ear(or is it blind eye) to them.
Buyology is a teacher.. Not a subject matter! It teaches u a whole bunch of stuff..not to question well established facts..Anything that you really like at a sale will never have a discount.. Even if it is, It will be a maximum of 10% and will be only be available in a size larger and smaller than what you need.In the highly unlikely event that the above two are not true(studies show that the possibility of this happening is about 1 in a 2343 light years.),then you will never find it in the color or the pattern you like...The other line moves faster... If you change lines, the one you just left will start to move faster than the one you are now in..
Mathematics.. it took me a while to figure out that 40% + 50% off did not equate to 90% off.And it would be path breaking innovation if our mobiles had a new unit in the converter.. value points to money and the other way round..
And to be more observant.. of * that can play havoc with your budget ..of the condition written in ta smallest font(-8 , is my guess)..
My extreme fondness for discounts has driven my mother to develop a pathological loathing of every conceivable form of sale.. and the encounter with my dad after my spree is a perfect example for "past perfect" and "present tense"!One of my friends , however, found the sales tainted!he was curious as to why every shop had a rather mild sulphuric word on display(sale in Hindi)!I find the whole experience extremely therapeutic. I have been in and out of some shops so many times off late that they might as well as install a revolving door just for me!Whoever said money cannot buy happiness didn't know where to shop!True story!

awesome girl.!!! am amazed u really had time to think all o this while shoppine ;)
but haan..sales do teach u a lot of things u kno..weneva i go wid my gal all i have all the time in the world to take my lil notepad and jot dwn poitns abt the human behaviour..wenever u see a couple walk into a sale, u can make out the stage of their relationship..a newly dating couple (say 0-3mnths) would really not look at any of the clothing but take a stroll in the fabric jungle hand in hand..a more..ahem..experienced couple (3-12mnths) would try out fantasy clothings..u kno short skirts, dresses et all, and the more daring ones would go straight to the deliucates :P and the ones who are are actually calculating their savings are, to say the very least, too comforable in each others' skins (read boring.!!! ie > a yr)..
True story..!!
