Today’s blog is going to be a short one, but I felt it was important to remind people not to spend beyond your means on Black Friday, and check if you are really getting a bargain before pressing that ‘buy’ button.
Think about the following:
- Do I need that thing?
- Will I use that thing?
- Is it really a bargain (websites like Pricespy are good for comparing prices across the market)?
- Can you afford that thing?
If the answer is no to any of the above, then consider if you really want to make that purchase. I’m just going to put a comparison below to help you with mindful shopping.
Impulse Purchase: When you buy something without thinking about it thoroughly.
Mindful Purchase: When you consider the purchase properly before buying it.
I did think twice about posting this, because I myself will be offering a Black Friday deal on my courses over the weekend. However, if you choose to buy my courses, I encourage you to do it in the same way as I’ve advised above.
