你是購物狂shopaholic嗎?要當一個兢兢業(yè)業(yè)誠誠懇懇的購物狂,這些問題你必須知道:

1. 購物狂最喜歡的兩個日子是?

Black Friday(感恩節(jié)后第二天)和Boxing Day(圣誕后第二天)。 為什么?這兩天都是銷售旺季??!Black Friday標志著Christmas Shopping Season的開始:

On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers.
這一天商店開門都會很早,凌晨四點就會開門,雖然不是法定節(jié)假日,但基本上這一天都會放假,無形中給了大家購物的機會。

Boxing Day中文里稱之為節(jié)禮日,這一天商家都會打折,所以是購物的好日子:

In Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price decreases. For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue.
在英國、加拿大、新西蘭和澳大利亞一些地區(qū),節(jié)禮日的意義跟美國的Black Friday一樣,是名副其實的購物日,這一天各處都有打折,商家在這一天的收益幾乎是全年最多的。

2. 購物之后,除了商品,還有什么不能忘記?

不要忘拿receipt(收據(jù)),上面通常會印有Exchange and refund policy:90day exchange,30day refund with tags.90天之內可以更換商品,30天內可以退貨(商品完好的狀況下)

3. 除了節(jié)假日打折,還有哪些省錢妙招?

節(jié)假日之外我們還可以用到coupon,優(yōu)惠券;一般商場里平時也會有降價出售以吸引人氣的商品,這種稱為loss leader。超市或者便利店里還有送積分的活動,這種叫做frequent shopper program,買的多,積分多,一般就會有折扣或者禮物。想當一個職業(yè)的購物狂嘛?買東西前真的要多做homework哦~
