Kaki Shopping

You know how those sales gimmicks typically are? I’m talking about those stores that offer a discount for the SECOND item or the THIRD item, or if there is a “Buy 2 Free 1″ offer. Normally, the discounted item is the cheaper item, or in the case of “Buy 2 Free 1″, the 2 items you pay for are the 2 most expensive ones, yes?

Because of this, I was indeed surprised to discover that Nose practises the total opposite. Yesterday, I was shopping for some flat shoes, which would make it easier for me to run around after Ethan, and I ended up in Nose. I still do not know why a store selling shoes would be called Nose (my hubby says it ought be called Feet or Toes or something along those lines).

Anyway.

Nose is currently having this promotion that accords the 2nd item purchased with a discount of 20%. And when I clarified with the sales person, she told me that the more expensive of the 2 pairs of shoes would be considered the 2nd item, hence a bigger discount for the consumer. Was I happy as a lark! But unfortunately, the 2 pairs of flats I ended up with were the same price, so it didn’t matter anyway.

Would you believe that these are my very first pairs of flats? Don’t you think that flats were designed with more of comfort in mind rather than fashion? Regardless…works for me!
