Be a Smart Consumer Singles’ Day is the biggest online shopping day of the year by sales, according to the research. On the 11th November, there are great discounts for almost everything on site, so you can make a real bargain! It has always been a mystery to me why some people think shopping of this sort may not make us smart consumers. I couldn’t agree more with the idea of buying goods when they are on sale. AS students, we can hardly earn enough money to support ourselves, and most of us get living expenses from home. Mum and dad, of course, provide a regular supply of pocket money as well. Sometimes, the goods or services are so expensive that we can’t afford them using pocket money. On the other hand, it is difficult not to be tempted. So the contradiction appears. At this time, we could make the most of our money by coupons, loyalty cards, group-buy deals, etc. In this way, you will have access to what you want as you afford, the best of both worlds. Since we can’t earn our own living, we shouldn’t be so extravagant. Thrift is the traditional virtue of Chinese people. At early of each month, make a list of the goods you need and you will probably win a bargain, for they may have a surprise on offer later. This will really help you save money and small sums could go a long way. And the saved money is a “source of extra income”, you ought to put it aside for a rainy day. Aren’t these methods smart? Not only can we save money but will also learn handling finances gradually. I can’t resist concluding this composition with my doubt why people are prepared to tolerate higher prices while there is some bargains. Why do those people, who know all these benefits, obstinately claim that shopping of this sort may not make us smart consumers?
