Between Want and Need

I want to purchase something online, but I keep telling myself that I don't need it. I know I can afford it, but it might be a waste. Like this morning, I want to purchase coffee machine. So cheap, it's not even RM30. But my brain overulled my heart again, reminding myself, it's too cheap to be true. I might be disappointed later. It's probably a low quality product. I drink coffee without one all this time. It can wait for a better one worth my money. I might find something interesting again soon and the inner battle will start again.

RM 30 for coffee machine? That's cheap (and suspicious). That's why scrolling on online shop is dangerous. You end up want a lot things.

If it's on sale for too less the price it should be, better to be cautious. Avoid now than be sorry later

Sometimes, I just choose something I want then add them to cart. If I dont really need them that much, it would stay there for a while. There are days that I feel like deleting it. There are some which I would finally decide to buy later on. At least in that way I know that I really want it or I'm really decided to purchase it.

Most of the time I like to see the actual product before buying. But I know the feeling that you had!! I think we have all been there!

You may be surprised. Just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it's bad. Expensive doesn't always equal better.

It might be. But the reviews are not convincing either. Just two with 5 stars but no comment.
