LOL. I'll be watching too.
A friend of mine who is a regular at Swee Lee sales gave me this "wallet survival" tips so as not to burn a deep hole in your pocket on that day. I've posted this on another thread and I thought I'll post it here again as it may be useful for some. You wouldn't want to "just eat bread" for the next 3 months would you? :lol:
Here's a little consumer tip for those who decide to go "camping":
1. Plan out your budget and list out those things you want to buy. And most importantly, STICK with it!
Shopping during Swee Lee sales day can get a little frenzy and emotional. You see lots and lots of people grabbing stuff around you and when GAS or "kiasuism" sets in, you want to follow suit. You may buy things you don't need on impulse. Exercise self control and don't let emotions overwhelm you. "People make purchases on emotions, and then justify their purchases with logic". This is something sales and marketing people use to their advantage - to get you hyped up and buy now before you "think over it". So exercise your logic (not emotions) and buy rationally. At the end of the day, you will look back and be thankful for not making silly purchases.
2. If the thing you want to buy is sold out, then it IS sold out. Just forget about it, and look for it again another day. Move on to the next item on your list.
If your choice item is gone, don't go buy another item to "console" yourself (unless it's something you really really need). It's the quickest way to buyer's remorse! It will be useful if you have an alternate second choice, but don't go beyond that. Yes, you may have camp outside for hours.....but think about it, which is better of the two?
(i) Don't buy anything now and save your money. You can buy the stuff you always wanted another day or another place.....because your wallet is still intact. OR
(ii) Spent all your money on things you don't really need just because you have queued for hours and are "already inside". Besides regretting on your purchases later on, you may also have depleted the money for the item you originally intended for.
Sadly, many consumers fall into category (ii), and guess who's laughing all the way to the bank? It's no coincidence Luther's Classifieds have a field day after every Swee Lee sale! In nut shell, don't buy for the sake of buying.
Anyway, happy shopping.
:wink:

Nano, can you buy me a Gibson LP Custom while you're inside? Your daddy asked me to tell you one lah. You see...your daddy is a good friend of mine and he said I can pay him back later. No need to ask your daddy again because I already told him you are a good boy and will listen to him. I wait for you outside ya?
