Shopping, that’s what it’s all about but do you too have a “great” shopping experience one day and then another a disaster? That happened to me last week.
On the Sunday I went to The Glen Shopping Centre and everything went swell. Boardman’s had between 40 and 50 per cent off most of their stock and I bought an electric blanket, the luxury one, for the same price I would have paid for a mediocre one at Game or Clicks and I also bought two lamps and lamp shades. Such bargains! I wasn’t the only one buying though. Many customers had trollies full. I know “they” say we’re in a recession but those cards carry on buying!
Next stop was Mr Price Home and I bought everything I’d set out for and finally Woolworths had 30 per cent off some of their winter goods and I picked up a couple of bargains there. I felt on a high for the rest of the day.
Not so a few days later, mainly though because I had to go to the bank and it proved very tiresome. I know I should do internet banking and I will, one of these days. I had to renew two car licences too and nearly fell over when the cashier at the post office asked for just over R900. I told her I was certain my last licence was only R220, and she said that’s for a car trailer, so I said I must have been driving one of those then! At least it made her laugh, as well as some of the other customers standing in the queue. All the shops I went into that day, there was some kind of problem and it was not a good shopping experience at all.
