Products and prices..

Its just over 3 years since i have landed in USA. Life is good and I tried my best not get carried away by the consumerism. But guess what, spent more money in the last 3 years than i had ever spent before. Then came the realization.. That there are intrinsically two things at play when i go shopping. The product and the price. I observed, that i have been buying stuff just because i liked the price and eventually regretted the purchase..

Now, I got my act together.. I will go shopping only if I need something and i go looking for it. Lets say a shirt, and i need to like it very much.. Not just like it, but i should feel that i cannot do without it.. Price is not a consideration (well of-course within a reason based on my affordability) when i find something like that. Then again there are rare circumstances where in I like the price and the product. But not happens always..

Now my satisfaction to spending ratio is much higher..
