Shopping Guide
Holiday mall survival guide A’REL BOIES Contributing Writer 10 tips to have a happy holiday shopping experience 10. Make sure to comparison shop and do research fi rst. This will save time and money. Give yourself the benefit of a treasure map showing exactly where to go and avoid excess aggravation. 9. Try to pack a snack and eat before you go. Shopping on an empty stomach only leads to an attitude problem, in addition to the grumbling in your stomach and a headache. Pack lightweight snacks like Slim Jims or granola bars and a bottle or two of water. If you get stuck in a line, at least your stomach won’t be mad at you. 8. Bring your cell phone charger. Surely you’ll be making and receiving plenty of calls in efforts to make holiday plans and gather gift opinions. Pack your charger so you can recharge a low battery during a rest in the car or a lunch break in the food court. 7. Keep money in inconspicuous places. Unfortunately, not everyone will be in the festive mood, so keep your money safe from holiday bandits. Put your money in places that are diffi cult for others to easily access by “accidently” bumping into or distracting you. Try a sock or a secret pocket inside your jacket. To minimize harm, don’t carry too much cash NIK SEU/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
at once or bring a credit card. 6. Arrange a carpool. Save gas and go green by consolidating your trips with friends and family. This is also a good safety practice. Ride together to make the trip more fun and keep each other in a good mood. 5. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Aching feet and tight clothes are also guaranteed to fuel an attitude problem. Enough said. 4. Bring a list and stick to a budget. Overspending may temporarily make for a happy loved one, but you’ll be upset in the end. Plan your budget and gifts out ahead of time so you won’t regret your generosity later. 3. Bring your own bags. There are few things more embarrassing than carrying your purchases across the street when your items fall out of a torn bag 20 feet away from your car. Durable fabric bags are a good investment. 2. Let someone know where you are. This is an important safety practice that is especially necessary during the busiest time of the year. Always be accountable! 1. Spread holiday cheer! It’s a proven fact that kindness rubs off on others. Make someone’s day with a kind holiday greeting or a smile. After all, the holidays only come once a year.
