Sad shopping
Everyone – at least once in their lifetime – faced a situation when after a very prompt shopping, a particular item did not look appealing anymore. And the worst thing, there was no opportunity to return it to the store or exchange for another good. Quite a frustrating situation, right? I have experienced it so many times, that I could have published my own memoirs. And every single time it happened, I got extremely upset and kept regretting that purchase over and over again. Until the moment a friend of mine introduced a couple of very easy yet useful techniques of how to overcome this negative impression and live along.
5 Ways To “Fix” Your “Bad” Purchase
Try to think of anyone from your circles who would possibly like the item that you are not enjoying anymore. It just might look absolutely useless from the first sight, but probably someone else will find a way to make use of it. If this is a dress that does not fit you, then gift it to a friend who would fall in love with it. And a vase that has a dozen of similar counterparts in your home collection will make a good match on your neighbor’s windowsill.
Similarly, why not to make your contribution to the community and donate something to an orphanage or a rehabilitation centre? These institutions are in such a needy condition, that they will be happy with any contribution – be it a set of fancy plates or a cozy but oversized sweater. Doing good for other always attracts good for yourself; besides, showing a little care for people never hurts.
Sometimes, it is not only about useless purchases, but also about the financial side. Making gifts is always sweet and pleasant, but what if one urgently needs money? There is a very simple and fast solution to this issue: today the web sources have so many online mediums where you can sell and buy all kinds of things, that you won’t even have to wait for a week before your “bad luck” item will find its new owner.
You can also find a large variety of DIY tutorials that can help you create almost anything one can imagine. And with the tools available today at hops, you can transform regular and boring things into masterpieces. Just type in the name of your item and spend another twenty minutes browsing through the search results – here you go with a brilliant and very creative idea.
Lastly, try to give this piece a second chance. Everyone and everything needs, so why not to start granting your forgiveness to these tiny things? There had to be something in this green wallet that actually made you buy it. Try to remember what exactly you were thinking of when you were buying the thing? What kind of arguments were brought in and what sort of doubts you had? After analyzing all of these aspects, you will slowly come to a very rigid opinion on whether you actually need this piece or not.
Hopefully this post will help you fix your own shopping mistakes and make this process more satisfying and delightful.
