Better Deals for Holidays

The consumerism is all around you. This is an era of great deals and thanksgiving is round the corner this would make more sense to you than ever before. No matter which deal you sign-up for, there would be always a tickling feeling in your heart that somewhere somebody must be getting a better deal and 90% of the cases your fear is real.

We spend hours and hours of our time searching for that 10% exclusive deal and feel better about buying something at better price and to be fair most of time end up getting something which we never thought we really need. Some quick examples to clarify the idea…

- Laptop with much better configuration, though we never understand how hardware upgrade will   impact software performance which we would be running on it.

 - Camera with better megapixel configuration and zoom capability without knowing what kind of pictures we would like to shoot with it.
- Some exclusive movie merchandise without understanding what is relative worth without the branding
- Kitchen appliances without understanding the usability and impact on our current kitchen layout

Though I am saying all this but I understand the importance of buying new product

- It provide a fresh look to your surrounding
- It give many people a high just by buying new stuff which no doubt required to motivate us
- It keep you updated with technological improvements etc etc 

So when you compare positives with negatives and look back, you would realize deals never help in our plans to upgrade our lifestyle on contrary it push us to make instant decision which alter any plans we had in mind to begin with and also we end up paying more than what we planned anyways.

On other end it is not only take away our time which we could have used to enjoy some real good deals we got in past but it also waste those deals in many ways..

- Clean air. By driving miles and miles to get a good deal
- Healthy environment which we destroy by not recycling because we don’t have time
- Our great friends and families with whom we could have spent quality time but due to time shortage unable to connect
- Celebrating the concept of festival in true spirit which we no longer feel or pay attention to
- Our body and soul which is already fatigued by everyday hectic schedule and need some quick attention

I have nothing against getting good deal but please pay little attention this festival session on all the good deals you already got in life and  how you can cherish it longer. This would make our wallet and our life much more prosper and happy in true sense of holiday session.

Happy Holidays!!
