I tend to buy some things on special occasions, like Black Friday or similar events (Prime Day).
Why do I do so?
The thing is, shopping can become addictive. You open a web page, you know you need something, then you get into a mode in which you are encouraged to buy.
“I want this, I would like that! Uuu, what a shiny thing!”. And so on.
And starting from an item, I can get into buying some additional things I may not even need.
The solution? Don’t buy often, and when you buy, consider buying on occasions like price cuts.
eMAG does these often in Romania – all sorts of periodic promotions for all their website.
Amazon’s Prime Days are rarer, but when they happen, you get quite a few products at discount. Also, they run some daily promotions, also.
If you’re interested in a specific product, consider using Amazon price tracker, Amazon price history charts, price watches, and price drop alerts. | camelcamelcamel.com.
