To accompany the current tourist festival in shanghai, we are having festival purchasing events. Everywhere there are ad of goods, with big letters of Free, Sale, Discount, Coupons, Awards and Lotteries. I fear the people jam, and feel lazy to spend on goods not exactly necessary. But most girts like such opportunities. Do your take advantage of festival purchasing?

i shy away from those occasions. if it is a "sale" day in malls, i refrain from going there. i don't like lining up for the cashier's counter for a long time to be able to pay the items i like. malls will be crowded with people taking advantage of the opportunity.
also, one reason that i don't go to these "sale" events is to refrain from buying things i don't really need. i end up doing that just to be able to avail of the opportunity of buying "cheaper" items (sometimes i end up buying cheaper but defective ones).
and ... i usually end up buying clothes .. again! (i am not done with congesting the clothes cabinet, need to refrain buying new ones).

I have to admit that I do and I like to do it too as I might be getting things less expensive however sometimes we are stunned to see the stuffs are not very good when they are at sales. I do take that advantages though.

It depends whether I have money or not.If i have enough amount to buy them I go and check out the things I wan to buy.Mostly at festival times, many shops provide discounts and thats good for the customers as they get some discounts on things.

Certainly taking advantage of festive sales gives us good bargain. But that is the time when the shopping centers are overcrowded and parking spaces are limited. And sometimes because of the rock bottom prices we are tempted to buy things we don't really need and they end up in the shelves collecting dust.

No, I don't like Festival purchasing. Because i felt every where is too crowded and sometimes I bought the things I did not really need and made a big waste.
I like shopping in ordinary time. I think if you are patient and detailed you always can find good deal as well as the shopping experience is more quiet and enjoyable.
Now I try to control my desire for clothes and shoes, etc. Not only the financial reason also have shoped too much before. I need break time to enjoy other part of life.
