Warehouse sale madness
Warehouse sale! Warehouse sale!
Jon's auntie and I just came back from one. It was a good one, and it was a mad house as well. Actually, that is the fun part ... hehehehehe. We just realised that we are not professional (professional warehouse sale buyers) yet. There is still room for improvement.
I'm thankful for those so called "warehouse sale" cos I get to buy stuffs at cheaper rates. I do confess that not all of the warehouse sales are as good as they claimed to be but overall I'm pretty happy with the things I bought. Of course Jon's auntie and I only select those that we are really interested in. Have to balance the effort invested in going to those sales.
Time spent + money spent + crowd madness = product satisfaction
People generally buy and stock up. Especially baby items. Here's some of the things I've observed during warehouse sale:
1. People go crazy about it. Queue for hours just to get in and queue for hours to pay.
2. They even have blogs and web sites to announce the warehouse sales.
3. It all happens together. Sometimes there can be a few warehouse sales in 1 weekend.
4. It always happen when you need to go out of town.
5. People buys things like its dirt cheap when in actual fact they can be spending hundreds of dollars in 1 sale!
6. Be there early or you won't find the stuffs you wanted.
7. No mercy shown eventhough you are pregnant.
8. Take first, think later.
9. Always have your handphone in your pocket and have it on vibration mode. Cos you won't realise its ringing it's antenna off when you are in the midst of madness.
10. Bring someone (husband, mother, maid, sister, brother, friend) to share your 'burden' ... hahahaha ... to carry and watch out for the stuffs la.
There are much more but can't think right now.
