Smart shopping v stupid shopping
Many people feel guilty and stupid about their shopping habits during the boom according to a recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers. I have found this more and more over that past 18 months or so with many women comfirming what we knew already – they are wearing 20% of their wardrobe 80% of the time having over indulged hugely during the boom. We’ve all made mistakes, but the scale of the spending was pretty amazing. Shoppers are becoming a lot more savvy with the recession bringing about a new way of shopping with many of these changes likely to be permanent. One of the most interesting findings was that price is no indicator of quality. According to a variety of tests carried out by the company, often the cheaper items tested were the better quality.
