Are U Mindful in Black Friday Sale?

Adidas, Nike and Levis the Giants in sportswear and casuals are all under Black Friday Sale.

Did you buy anything yet?

With offers as 70% off on 5 pieces who but can resist the greed ,need and justification feed?

My son keeps often requesting me to buy him these brands which are beyond our budget but b days, Christmas and 38/ 40 in Spanish test are the times i become Dashrath and he Kai keyeee and i have to fulfill the promises.

Anyways yesterday we went to one such sale and realised the offer was on very limited pieces with specific colour, design and size. May be the ones which were least in demand.

We hunted for 5 pieces and asked the salesman to calculate our bill.

Meanwhile ( quiet a long period,as too many greedy customers wanted to avail the deal), my 13 year old son kept seeing each rack of his size lower ,jackets, track suits,sweat shirt and tshirts.

When the bill was told to us it was a little higher than our decided budget and instead of being in gratitude and very delighted my son seemed to be more puzzled,confused and more interested in other things doubting his choice of chosen merchandise.

I was quiet upset at this behaviour and decided we come back from store without buying anything,it was useless to spend more than we could afford and still be dissatisfied.

We came out of the shop and he had teary eyes ( which later flowed to), and he said Sorry mummy ,but i was non mindful and distracted. I really liked what we chose.

I ultimately bought him our shortlisted prices in happiness that i m able to pass on some wisdom of Swami ji to a teenager who ll soon be a mature and responsible adult!

Can u maintain mindfulness and self control during a Sale?
