Shopoholiya - a disease or innocent entertainment?

Studies of American sociologists show that inveterate shoppers look younger than women who do not like to shop - they have fewer wrinkles and more energy. Yes, we all know how the mood and self-esteem are rising after a few pleasant purchases. Well, how can I not spend too much? Take into account the rules of safe shopping! And yet, shopaholic - a disease or innocent entertainment?

Products |

Do not shop for fun on an empty stomach - be sure to buy a lot of excess. Avoid large supermarkets, preferring small shops. Write a list of products and take only the necessary amount for their purchase. Place the obligations of the buyer on the husband, especially if he is one of those who always part with money reluctantly.

Clothes, shoes

Register on the site of your favorite store (or make friends with the seller) - and you will always be aware of the next sales or receipt of new products. Keep "loyalty" to the brand - and you can count on a loyal customer card or a discount card. Trying out clothes or shoes for entertainment in a store, do not hesitate to demand things of a different size and do not feel uncomfortable if you leave without buying! Do not see the tricks of the sellers - many of them own equipment that will force you to make an unnecessary purchase (provoke or cause a sense of guilt). Do not be tempted to persuade friends - shopaholics, who are trying to get you to work after shopping.

Equipment

On the Internet, technology is cheaper. However, if you get into the action of entertainment in a large chain of stores, it will be more profitable and there will definitely be no problems with the return. Cheaper exhibition samples. The price of some goods depends on the time of purchase (for example, air conditioners are more profitable to buy in winter, and not in May). Do not chase after novelties - after 6 months after the sale, their price will drop by 30%. Do not believe in "zero" loans - still in the end overpay. It's better to postpone it systematically.

Furniture

Buying furniture directly from the manufacturer, you can save up to 50% of the cost. It is cheaper to buy furniture in online stores or from a warehouse. Look for defects and ask for discounts. Agree on free shipping and assembly.

Be careful, sell out!

A rare woman will resist this magical word. Most of us easily lend themselves to entertainment and temptation and rush to cherished Sale in the hope of getting a lot and almost for nothing. However, here you can not only wait for a great disappointment, but unnecessary waste. On closer inspection, it turns out that a discount of 50% applies only to a couple of unsuccessful models from the previous collection, which, it seems, no one will ever buy. And other things are sold with a light 10% discount. There is also such an injustice: you beat the time for clothes for a beat, counting on the declared discount of 20%. Finally, they chose what they wanted, and only at the cash register they learned that the price was already indicated with discount. But, of course, the most common trick of sellers was the price, much "winded" shortly before the discounts. This is the most often explained 70% sales. Be vigilant when buying something on sale too great risk to buy a thing with a defect. Keep in mind that most of the goods purchased at a discount or on shares are not exchangeable and refundable. And, finally, remember: if you do not want to be "on the rocks" - do not buy too much!

Safe shopping

Shopogolia has already become a real problem. For example, only in the US this affects more than 15 million people, and another 50 million - are close to this state. For half the Englishwomen, shopping brings more pleasure than sex. Most shopaholics live in the Czech Republic (83%), and least interested in shopping in Sweden and Spain.

Scientists say that the cause of shopaholic are:

1. Child psychological trauma (especially lack of attention from parents and their attempt to buy off gifts);

2. Zanizhennaya self-esteem (with the purchase help feel more confident);

3. Loneliness and disappointment;

4. Obstruction of the pleasure hormone - serotonin.

In this regard - cope with difficulties using methods that do not require the emptying of the wallet. Serotonin is obtained from bananas and chocolate. And communication with friends can deliver much more pleasure than close and stuffy fitting rooms!
