The end of the year is indeed the most awaited moment for many people. Aside from being a time to reflect on the achievements during the year, this moment is also synonymous with various attractive promos offered by various brands. Massive discounts, price cuts, and direct gifts become the main attraction that makes us tempted to shop.
However, behind all the excitement of year-end promos, there are some traps that we need to be aware of so as not to fall into uncontrolled spending. Here are the “traps” to watch out for during year-end discounts:
Unclear Original Price:
Often, the initial price listed before a discount is given is not the actual price at which it was sold. This makes consumers feel like they're getting a really good deal when they're not.
Old Stock Items:
Items that are old or hard to sell are often used as promo products. Although the price is low, the quality of the item may not be as good as new.
Needs vs Wants:
Year-end deals make it easy to be tempted to buy things we don't really need. As a result, we end up overspending and accumulating unused items.
Expensive Shipping Costs:
When shopping online, even though the price of the product has been discounted, expensive shipping costs can make the total purchase bigger than expected.
Poor Product Quality:
Promo products with very low prices are of suspect quality. It could be a knock-off or a low-quality product.
