ConsumerMatch.com BlogWhat's the rush all of the sudden?!
It's getting crazy out there. The hot last minute offers for Valentines Day are pouring in as if it will be the last Valentines Day forever.
If you did not get anything for your sweetheart yet, NOW is the time to act! Free Shipping and Free expedited Shipping is now almost available at every Store that is specialized in Gifts.
Dramatic up to 80% off offers show us, that the merchants mean it and are not fooling around. Some Merchants are also preparing themselves already for the Aftermath of this coming weekend. I guess nobody really understands why, but people tend to get into a buying rush again after a big holiday and after they spent already a small fortun on gifts.
May be it is like in other situations in life; like being unwantedly stranded in a city you have really never been before (except the Airport Terminal) because your connecting flights got canceled all of the sudden.
Peoples attitude tends to shift from stress and frustration to "Lets make the best out of it while I am here" and actually end up having a great time connecting with new people and learning something new about a place they never even spent 2 cents worth of thought about and sometimes find some new Friends or even love.
Once you are way over your spending limit because you had to beat the gift you got previous year from your partner to "show" that your love is bigger, it's a "somewhat logical thing" to say, "heck" now I can spend a bit on myself as well because I will not like the next credit card statement anyway.
Well, my explanation is as good as any other. Feel free to share thoughts on this with me and the other visitors. Comments are enabled but not posted to the Blog right away. I review them first to make sure nobody is using "foul" language or is just spamming.
In the meantime here some specials to keep the "dent in the wallet" at least as small as possible.
