Check online before you shop offline
I work in a relatively small canvas printing shop in London. Last week my boss called me and said that he would have to reduce my salary by 15%. I was shocked and wanted to scream at him saying that what he was paying was already very low. But I know that there was no point in screaming as even he is struggling to keep the shop open. I am almost certain that there is no way that I can increase my monthly income and now the only option is to reduce the monthly expenses.
I have found one thing very funny about sudden expenses; they normally come up when you really don’t have the money for it. That’s exactly what happened with me when I found the sole of my running shoes cracked. I love running and every day after I’m finished with work I go for half an hour of running to get rid of all the stress I had gathered throughout the day. However, this was not going to be possible with broken shoes. Now my quest was to find the cheapest shoes. I went to the nearby hyperstore to look for nice and cheap shoes. I did find cheap ones, but nothing was good enough. I am not the type who has fixes and if I don’t like something, chances are that it’s genuinely not good.
Finally after looking in few stores I came back home tired. I turned the laptop on just to check my facebook. On the side of my profile were some adverts and one of them was for running shoes. I quickly clicked on it and went into the site of a shoe manufacturing website. To my surprise I found more than one shoe cheaper than what I had seen in the store. I quickly ordered one and within a couple of days I got it. The size was correct and the color was just as I thought. I guess I learnt my lesson: check online before you shop offline.
