How They Get You To Spend More
I'm about to go to New Zealand in around 2 weeks' time for my graduation trip!!! But before that, there's still exams to prepare for... I'm sure my friends would already have finished half of studying, but I have yet to even start... Gosh. So many distractors!
Anyway, meanwhile, I still have to prepare for my NZ trip, so today I spent the whole afternoon outside buying necessities (which James says there is no need for me to bring so many things, and how he keeps emphasizing on travel light. I want to, but I can't go with a little thing not prepared. I want to be able to pre-empt every imaginable situation. I've actually got wilder plans like, prepare an emergency escape backpack like every Japanese does, which contains chemical warmers, dried food and drinks, torchlight, etc in case of emergency, so I can hold out for a period of time in case something happens to Christchurch again. OMG. Touchwood. Choy!) instead of studying. I bought a new watch (I haven't got one for use now), long pants and a new pair of shoes (in case my shoes spoil, which they often do, even in school). I've still got stuff not bought yet!
I kept all the NETS receipt so I could keep track of how I spent my money. OMG. Horrendously, I've spent $4K in 2 months! I'm so broke! I can't pamper myself anymore! T.T I never imagined that a lot of expenses have to go into preparing for grad trip.
In any case, I went to The Body Shop to buy some body moisturiser in case the weather in NZ is so dry that my skin cracks. Then I would not be able to enjoy my holiday anymore. I wanted the strawberry puree that they have, but being in a dispenser that you can't keep after opening, it seemed better to buy wide-mouthed containers with screw on caps. The salesperson was a nice auntie; she suggested that I buy body butter 'cos of the dry wind and that I wouldn't feel sticky 'cos it's dry there. I believed her and she opened every single tester container to let me smell the unique fragrance of each flavor. There's the floral fragrance type, then fruits type (there's one named cocoa I think. It really smelled like chocholate! It would be fun to test out the flavor on oneself, but I don't want my friends to throw me weird glances every night in the hotel room). I settled for the newest fragrance, which was Dreams Unlimited. It really smells very nice, and of course, is more expensive than the other ranges. There's even a perfume under the Dreams Unlimited series, and I am thinking of buying it one day. For work. Heh.
Oh my I've sidetracked too much. Anyway, The Body Shop was having a promotion whereby you buy 2 get 1 free. I decided to buy lip balm 'cos I don't want cracked lips... Then the lady was like, do you want to get a third item? I was thinking, why not seize the opportunity? So against my mother's insistence, I bought a bottle of face moisturiser too. I then realised that I didn't ask how much the body butter cost! It was $34.90, much higher than my budget, but I still bought it because I really liked the fragrance.
When it was time to pay, the bill came up to $68.40 and I had a shock. I kept forgetting that the face moisturiser cost $29.90, and kept thinking that it was $19.90. Seriously, for that really small bottle of moisturiser, it's really not quite worth it, but I have to buy it because I don't want my face to peel and my photos to turn out ugly. Upon paying, I qualified to become a member (yes, ever since last December, I've become a member of various store chains because of the amount of money I spent in those shops) once again. Oh well. My mum couldn't believe it.
Anyway, because of the promotion, I saved $19.90 (membership fee waived and lip balm free). if I wasn't greedy enough to make use of the promotion, I would have saved $29.90 (the money spent on face moisturiser). Conclusion? How shops get you to spend more if by having promotions, to drive you to buy more than necessary. If you're not clear-headed about what you want, you can get lost amongst the sale prices. Another way shops get you to spend more is to tell you that if you spend a bit more than what you already want to buy, you are entitled to a free membership which you can use to get a discount off your current purchase. And yes, that was how I fell into the trap of my other 3 membership cards. One last way to get you to spend more: you are entitled to free membership next year, if within this membership year, you spend a certain amount. Oh well. At least, it's confirmed that I have successfully renewed my Bossini membership in less than 2 months.
Christy!!!! No wonder you are broke. =(
