Tips for buying electronic products

This is not a sponsored post, it's my personal experience. When it comes to buying electronics, we generally head to the popular electronic megastores. The umpteen newspaper ads announcing exchange deals, best prices, free gifts etc. tempt us for sure, but also leave us confused.

Now when I decide to purchase an electronic device, and an expensive one for that matter, I always believe in five things:

Shoppers Stop - Discounts on Online Shopping

Now since Shoppers Stop is very close to my place, I always visit the store when I need to shop. But I just discovered that they have this 24x7 online shopping system. And guess what, Shoppers Stop offers free home delivery (limited period) and special discounts on several items when you shop online. Now who's gonna wait for that Sale period!

So today (May 19, 2011), I noticed there are offers on a whole range of things. Here are some examples:

Timex watches: 20% off on MRP until 26th June 2011
Pretty Woman accessories: 10% off
Sparkles jewellery: Upto 50% off
Zaveri Pearls: Special offers on purchase of 3-5 sets
Revlon: A table clock free on purchase of products worth of Rs1000


Well, of course there are those terms and conditions, but the offers are real cool. Check out the details on the official Shoppers Stop website from where this info is sourced.

Sale at Shoppers Stop

Shoppers Stop is currently buzzing with up to 51% sale across its stores. I visited Shoppers Stop stores at Inorbit Malls in Malad and Vashi and was more than thrilled. The best part is that these guys offer a great variety and we need not choose from just 10-15 options of outfits we've seen someone wearing somewhere. And the stores are so huge, we really need some energy if we are serious about shopping a lot.

Of course, one thing happens with me every time during such sales. I end up liking something or the other a lot and of all the things that one thing has no discount attached to it. So I bought this super cure Swarovski crystal without any discount at all.

More than the sale every year, I love the fact that my husband has First Citizen card (some Golden Glow stuff). So that extra 5% discount on whatever I purchase makes me go WOW! Loving the fact that the sale ends just before my birthday, so I can easily indulge in shopping till drop :)

Sale Period: February 12 to March 7, 2010

Bump into discounts, bump into friends!

Choice, deals, convenience... there's yet another thing that the malls offer without actually trying to. And this one's the greatest offer they surprise you with. Yes, it's bumping into your friends. More often than not, I end up meeting some or the other lost-in-touch-with friend. And trust me, that makes the most of my shopping expedition!
