Some weeks back, the new IT store in Ikano had an official launch during the weekend. I remember seeing an ad in the newspaper about it, and they offered some pretty good deals like being able to buy some of the products for just RM1! We were quite interested in a few things at the time, like a 8G thumb drive and a micro sd card for mom's new phone. There was a special deal for the 8G thumb drive, going for just RM25 but it was only available at 7pm that particular day. We got there a bit early thinking we could stand a change to grab one. But we didn't.
We didn't spend too much time at the store after we found that most of the great deals weren't available anymore. We didn't buy anything that we wanted. In fact, mom managed to buy her SD card somewhere else and at quite a reasonable price too. Good thing we didn't buy on impulse thinking that an opening sale would probably be cheaper, right?
So don't fall victim to clever marketing!
