A new way to spend money

They said it true "A penny saved is a penny earned". But I think in today's organised shopping world nothing is SAVED. Recently just went to Food Bazaar two buy FEW things and instead i bought 20 more items (yes!!!! i actually counted...:P). I think it haapens with every one, m not only the victim of this new trend.
I must say these FB guys, they do a grt job in the stores. They actually know the customer's psyche like which products to be kept in front n which at the end or the back side of the stores. they have got grt offers like combo packs n all. I have even seen ppl there, who actually do the TOL MOL while selecting the items such as, which item has the most discount or which item is free etc n etc.
The reasons I avoid going for shopping there are :
  1. Man!!! money....its quite a wastage of my hard earned money...:)
  2. Time..in good old days u just go to a kirana store n ask wat u needed but here, i need to find my stuff + buy some unnecessary things too (i keep stressing on that....so dont mind...:P )
  3. Energy..now u have to go around for lookin n buyin things, so u need energy for that (not that imp point but still thought of adding it....:) )
  4. NO place to walk.... wen FB guys have their bachat ke din (Saving days). you actually cant even go inside and if you are lucky enough to get yourself forced inside then you cant walk.
But!!! I also like this organised shopping culture for reasons:
  1. FREE GIFTS...:) Yes!!! you tend to buy things which have free gifts or products with that.
  2. One place for all...you can get everything for house hold purposes in one place n thats a grt concept.

Organised shopping culture is growing and thats good for our economy but some times its not that good also for the kirana store types. Big names like Big bazaar, Relaince, More, spencers etc are gulping these small stores. But I think Indian consumers needed that, after all even they want to buy vegetables and snacks in a trolly...:)

P.S- Dont forget to catch DOCOMO ads (Specialy the plane one)....grt minds behind that ad...:)
