Never buy the first thing you see.

I get what you are saying. I think that the first thing might be useful, but without anything to compare it to, it is rather useless and therefore, we need to really look around. There is no reason why we can't go back to the first thing, with the benefit of hindsight. There are just sometimes where there is something that we see first, that really is the best thing out there that we can find. There are many times where it is not. It really tends to vary. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

A list does tend to be more important now than ever before, doesn't it? Not that it was unimportant before. You got to pick your spots wisely. Of course, I tend to limit my trips as well, only to the necessary, perhaps going a bit beyond what I normally would do on an average week a couple of times a year and even then, it does take a bit to pry my fingers off of my wallet, as I try and find what deals I can. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

That is really the thing, isn't it? Rushing in too soon and it will seem like a mistake, if something else better or a better deal comes along. There are far too many times where I think that people get a little too excited and see a thing that is all cool. Yet, there are going to be a lot of times where it is very enticing and obviously the stores know this. Believe me, they really do know this. Still got to try and abstain from purchasing the first thing. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I'm just grateful that I learned this rather early on in life. There are a lot of people who really do not learn the fact that they have to not purchase the first item that they see right away for quite some time. Then there are a lot of people who really never learn that lesson, sad to say. It is one of those parts of life, people tend to get all excited about something and have to trip over themselves to buy it, not realizing that there is likely to be something better. Yet, it is rather smart to compare and contrast what you are purchasing. Look around, do some research, think, don't rush in. A wise person needs to consider each and every one of their options, before they make a foolish decision. The smartest thing is to consider several options, along with if this is a purchase that is really vital. That is the most key factor I think. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Its good that you have not regretted any purchases. Myself on the other hand, there are a couple of times, where I feel like I have made a grievous mistake in what I have bought. Now granted, it is really a great experience and I will never make it again. And perhaps I can find some reason to use what I might have bought. Then again, with each passing year, I seem to get a bit more fickle about my purchases. The fist tends to close tightly around the wallet fairly often. To the point where I am almost certain that I outsmart myself. Maybe that is just me but it does really certainly seem like it. Still impulse buys when they happen, do seem to lead to trouble for some. Experiences may vary slightly. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

There needs to be really a lot of thought for sure when you buy something. Not to mention a lot of research. There are going to be a lot of variables for sure in trying to figure out what we need to purchase. It is not something that really should be taken lightly, for the sake of the wallet of the person. That much is something that should be obvious to all. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Its best to really shop smart many times when you go out there. The first buy makes a rather uninformed and staggered decision. Therefore, it is really difficult to be able to make the best decision in the world with not that much information. The first thing, yeah its something that could be a good choice, but you're not going to know if its a really good choice, until you actually go out and compare and contrast everything, think things through and everything. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

Comparing is really the most important part about shopping. Granted, we should really have an idea of what we want, but there are times where the first choice we are presented with, is not actually the right choice. Therefore when presented with a choice, its something to consider, but not the only thing that we should consider. Its all about making intelligent decisions and that's something that can be a bit of a stretch for some people. Still the first choice is not the best. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

A very good point indeed, there is always going to be potential alternatives. Granted the first product could be the best, but really how are you supposed to know until you shop around? Go to numerous stores, Internet sites, ask people, do whatever you need to get the best information. Getting a bad product and having to pay for it, that is really something that is awful. So never go with the first thing, without shopping around. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.
