Window shopping is not bad

Window shopping is not for me. Not that I buy only when I need, but window shopping just isn't my kinda sport. Db does that better than me, just that he window shops things that do not interest me...gadgets, and sometimes furniture too.

But it isn't such a bad thing after all. And I realized it only two weeks back.

We were at the lifestyle on that Saturday evening. And Db was literally pulling me across the Lifestyle Homecentre. He loves to look around sofas, beds, cupboards...I was already bored out of my skull.
And suddenly, we set our eyes on a dressing table kinda thing, which had some good number of drawers. The tag on it said 'WAS 24999 NOW 4999'. What the hell!!! It didn't look that cheap. And a basic dressing table had cost us 3.5-4K some 10-12 years back when my parents bought it. We thought it must be a printing issue and the price must be 14999. We checked with the concerned people and it turned out to be the 4999 as printed.
Well, the trick of these sales are to make you buy things that you do not necessarily need. And more storage is something you can always do with. We quickly calculated that it would help us store our laptop cables, chargers, hard disks, pendrives and stuff and so its a good buy for 5K. But we were and still are quite sure, this stuff is wrongly marked for the given sum.

We did order the furniture and we were assured we would be given a fresh piece and not the display one, may be this one had some defect hence cost less. They committed to deliver it in 2 weeks.
The last 2 weeks we pretty much expected that they would ask us to pay a balance of 10K the day they deliver the piece to us.
But we recieved the furniture last evening, with no visible defects and at the same price that we had originally paid for.
But we are still not convinced that it is for 5K.

So, window shopping is not that bad I guess .
