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.

Hypercity Wednesday Deals

It's Wednesday again - Time for shopping at Hypercity!
Why today? Well, Hypercity comes up with these special deals and discounts on Wednesdays which I believe are pretty decent.

Are the Hypercity Wednesday Deals worthwhile? Well, I have been shopping for groceries, personal care products, home decor stuff etc. from malls as well as other supermarkets and stores (the individual shops) in Vashi. So I have a fair idea if the stuff is really on discount or have they just tagged it as a deal. And my conclusion is that the deals at this supermarket are really worthwhile.

Shopping at Malad's Natraj Market

Sarees, salwaar kameez, lehengas, dress materials, kids' wear, sherwanis, home furnishings, bags, imitation jewellery, gold jewellery, home decor, footwear... you name it and Malad's famous Natraj market (Mumbai) has it all. But the best part is that you get all of this at the most reasonable prices and you enjoy an amazing variety. It's one-of-its-kind experience to shop at these little shops and end up returning with a dozen shopping bags! I have never returned from the Natraj market without lifting heavy shopping bags.

Natraj Market is ideal for wedding and festival shopping, whatever your budget be! Trust me, if you find an exquisite saree costing Rs 30000 elsewhere in Mumbai, you will definitely find a much better one around Rs 20000 here. If you have a budget of Rs 5000, you'll still find a great trousseau! All you need to do is hop into these shops and tell what's your budget. They will show you a wide array of designs that perfectly fit your budget.

Note: Saturdays and Sundays are obviously crowded, so are all evenings.
