Merry Christmas! Even though I'm a day late... >.<
In Canada the day after Christmas is called Boxing day. On that day all or at least most of the shops will have big sales. Why? I don't know but it's a great day for shopping.
I'm actually spending my Winter vacation in Los Angeles. Did a lot of shopping since the prices were so low for Christmas. Sadly they don't have Boxing day here. Well they do but not a lot of stores have sales. Anyway, for those who get the chance to shop during the next few days of Boxing day, make sure to spend your money wisely and definitely don't buy stuff you don't need.
Here are some tips on what to buy and what to do:
Do not buy clothes you will not wear
I know that feeling of wanting that certain clothing that you've been dying to get. There are so many things I want but half of it is just stuff that I don't need like blouses. My mom keeps buying blouses that I already have just because they're cheap. Don't do that because it's a waste of money. One is enough.
Do not buy your gifts
Many people buy their next Christmas presents on this day and I think it's a bit stupid. People change, they may not like it by the time you give it to them unless you're buying it for their birthday that's in 2 or 3 months. Plus, always make sure that they'll like it because if not they'll won't be able to return it after a month.
Buy electronics
Electronics in our society is a must. Our mails have been replaced with emails, our memories are taken by a camera. It is something we need in our daily lives. There are many thing we need, example: cellphone, computer, TV, etc. Those things are stuff we can buy on Boxing day since they're cheaper.
Give yourself a budget
Giving yourself a budget is definitely something you need to do before shopping. You should not spend too much money! Unless you're rich. I usually give myself a 1000$ budget: 600 for electronics and 400 for other stuff. Just make sure you don't spend more than you can earn.
So there are those are my advice on Boxing day. They're the basic stuff you should know for days like this. Same with Black Friday.
This is all I am going to write about today. The next one will be in 2014 so see you then!
