This is Discount season here.. Some shops raise the price and give a discount.. that is a marketing strategy. if they don't, that material might have been slightly faded or damaged. i agree that some shops are really worth a discount sale. Do you feel satisfied when you buy a product that is half the original price. i definitely do. i love discount shopping, but i see to that i do not pick the damaged one. the only thing i hate about discounts is, they do not exchange if you find the damage after you buy it. "goods once sold cannot be taken back". have you had such experiences? have you been in a situation where after you come home and realized that the dress is not worth the money you paid?
So i would say it is better not to hurry while shopping.. so that there wouldn't be any regrets for spending your money on things that you are not satisfied with.
Take your time and Happy shopping!

I love discounts. It makes me feel like I have indeed save some money and not a big spender! But in reality, most of the time it's just a psychological effect. The store owners would face losses if they offer too much discounts to the consumers. There was once I bought a computer gadget with 50% discount only to find the same piece of gadget was sold at a cheaper price next store without discount..(maybe I can get it cheaper if i ask for discounts from that store...). I think the moment that is really worth shopping if you really want to get good discounts and cheap stuff is during stock clearance sales where the stores will sell off the old stocks at low prices..
I can only say shopping depends on our judgment...and some luck..
Happy Mylotting!!!

you are right,it is more of a psychological feeling. the best idea is to shop during clearance sale. however we got be careful in picking up the good ones, because most clearance sale would have damaged and defective ones. good luck.. thanks for the response
