Smart Shopping Tips (SSS) : Part 3 (Stay Mindful)

Shopping: A woman's joy in every cart. Continued....

While this is true, our shopping behavior and our mindset during shopping impacts our children, so we need to keep an eye on that. 

In my last articles, I explored the first two elements of shopping i.e. Spending money and Saving Time.  Now let's look at last element which is State of Mind:

S - State of Mind During Shopping

Being mindful of one's emotions while shopping not only helps in making better financial decisions but also sets a strong foundation for children to develop responsible and balanced shopping habits.

  • Avoid Shopping when Hungry or Rushed. 

Being in a hurry leads to poor decision-making.

  • Avoid Impulse Buying (Add to Cart & Wait). 

If you like something, add it to your cart but don’t buy immediately. Many websites send discount offers if you wait a day or two. Revisiting cart items will give you chance to rethink on the need of an item.

  • Read Reviews & Ratings Carefully. Make use of technology. 

Look for verified buyer reviews with pictures. Avoid products with too many similar-sounding positive reviews (may be fake).

  • Flash Sales & Urgency Traps (“Only 2 Left!”). 

FOMO (fear of missing out) pushes impulse buying. Avoid shopping when stressed, sad, or excited - it also leads to impulse buying.


UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEED AND WANT.

Enjoy SMART Shopping. 😃

KIDS : Our reflection, Our Responsibility

Friends, can we spare sometime and go back to our childhood....  The fun days we had, stress-free environment we lived, friend circle we had, level of communication we had with our family, games we used to play with our parents and lot many things.....  We did not have so many exposures but yes, the freedom (stress-free) to play and study. We did not have many activities around but still exposure with no competition around.  We did not have too many tuitions but still had professionals and skilled people around.  Feel so nice to think of all this.  BUT  Are we as parents really providing the same environment to our kids? They are always loaded with too much of competition, too many challenges, too many exams and evaluations, too many tuitions. It's an environment full of stress. Its good sometimes to have competition but everything in excess is harmful. Friends it's taking away their childhood. CHILDHOOD COMES ONLY ONCE LET's NOT SPOIL IT... LET THEM ENJOY...

International Mother Language day (21 feb) : માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ

Friends, tomorrow is International Mother language day , on this occasion i would like to ask that, when our child speaks English fluently we feel proud but at the same time when he/she cannot even utter a word in our mother tongue why are we not feeling shameful?  It's good and necessary to know fluent English but at the same time it's equally important to know fluent reading and writing of our mother tongue.  Mother tongue is our pride. માતૃભાષા આપણું ગૌરવ છે. 21મી ફેબ્રુઆરી આંતરરાષ્ટ્રીય માતૃભાષા દિવસ તરીકે ઉજવવામાં આવે છે.
