Shopping is both exciting and nerve-wrecking, especially during the peak sales period that is *hint hint* coming soon. Imagine having to fight over the very last piece of your favourite item, knowing that you can't get to enjoy a discount like this for a long time; or having to join the snaking queue at the cashiers when you want to make payment for your haul.

It's no wonder people choose to shop online rather than stepping out for the real experience. But one thing that virtual shopping experience can never beat is giving shoppers the chance to smell the scents of a product.

If aromatherapy and shopping is your kinda thing, perhaps it's time to equip yourself with some survival tips to conquer the real world shopping drama.

5 Tips to Survive the Warehouse Sale

Survival Tip #1: Arrive Early

There's no harm in coming a little earlier than the official start timing of the sale period. If it's an anticipated sale event, you may even expect a queue forming at the entrance even before you arrive! There's a saying that goes "the early bird catches the worm", and it's exactly fit for a situation like this.

Survival Tip #2: Prepare Enough Cash

And lots of it - just in case you end up hitting your shopping budget. You wouldn't want to be stuck in another queue at the ATM right? Of course, a credit card these days will suffice in most cashiers. Go ahead and rack up your air miles while you go on your shopping spree!

Survival Tip #3: A Large Shopping Bag

You'll never know what lucky product(s) might go home with you, so might as well bring a big roomy bag that's spacious enough to fill up your shopping loots. And when you have your own shopping bag, you won't have to go scouring for a shopping basket and there's also no need for a plastic bag to bag your goods. Shop green, shop smart!

Survival Tip #4: The More, the Merrier

Amplify your shopping experience by bringing your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, cousins, and everyone you know along with you (only if you manage to convince them to join you). Combine your purchases together and see what great discounts you can avail - whether its a free gift, or an additional purchase item at a lower discount. Who knows? Maybe the highest spender may win a prize.

Survival Tip #5: Work out - physically and mentally

Shopping is not a mindless "women" activity to pass time. It requires thorough planning of "do I really need that?", precise mental calculation to calculate your savings, a keen eye to scan for the little treasures among the products, and swift fingers to grab and put it in your basket before anyone else does.
