But if you live in the Metro, sometimes, this season can
turn a “Santa” to a “Grinch”. Why you ask? For example:
1.
Traffic- It’s twice worse and its all throughout
the day (and night!).
#TIP: shop really early. Traffic is more tolerable
and you can get a nice spot to park.
2.
Crime- yup, it’s twice as much too.
#TIP: don’t bring lots of cash. This is the
time that your plastic cards become more convenient. Always make sure you are
aware of your surroundings.
3.
People- we all love to shop so understand all
the long lines in the cashier and the crowded malls and shopping areas.
#TIP: if you can leave your kids at home,
do so. If not, there are play areas in most malls where kids can stay. Stop
dragging them inside shops and get angry when they start to throw a tantrum.
4.
Prices- you would notice that more items shoot
up, price wise. Like they say in business, the more the demands, the more price
increase you would see.
#TIP: Bargain shopping. If you have the talent, you’ll get awesome
stuff in very affordable price.
5.
Places- where oh where will you go this season
of giving? Where can you find the things you need and want to buy?
#TIP: always go to shopping centres near
your area. Sometimes, the extra P25 is worth it rather than getting very cheap
stuff 100kms away from where you live.
6.
Gifts- what to buy for everyone you are giving
gifts to.
#TIP: Always give something that the person
will likely use. If you know the person well, you
Won’t have this problem. Just in case you
are near going insane thinking, food always works.
7.
Attire- it always pays to be comfy all the time.
#TIP: wear clothes that are appropriate for
shopping. No high heeled shoes, no leather shoes, no long sleeved polo, no
leather jackets and no wearing to-die-for jewelleries.
Here’s my best tip: there’s always online
shopping and delivery services. Comfort in your own home.
