A penny saved...

More and more people search for bargains. From my personal standpoint, this is a very positive trend.

To begin with, it is obvious that a customer wants to get the products as cheaply as possible. People, who have long desired a certain item often decide to get it at the end of the season to have them ready for a new one at reduced prices.

Secondly, bargain hunters may be lucky enough to come across true rarities. Not only do they get something exceptional, but they can also get it cheaper, for instance, while shopping at flea markets.

Finally, once you become an expert at bargain hunting, you know exactly where and when to go. Doorbusters are no longer a secret to you. Nowhere else can they get deeper markdowns if they possess a membership card.

On the other hand, people seem to forget that each company’s goal is making profits. Consequently, they introduce different strategies to outsmart the customers. Little do we realise that, for example, they stock only a few items at the clearance sale to give the impression of an insufficient number of them.

By and large, bargain hunting is commonly used as people learn the art of saving money. In my mind, looking for special offers can really reduce overpaying. I would still stick to the rule that “a penny saved is a penny earned.”
