How does you shortlist an item for a necessary purchase?

First decide what all you need to purchase. Create priority list. Look for best price, offers available. I also check product review comments to see what price someone purchased the same product during sale. Wait for the right offer.

Avoid 'urgency' at least for costly items. Plan in advance 😊

First I ask to myself whether I need this product or not. Then after making the decision, I google that product and compare the prices. Then when i get the product at lowest price, firstly i try to check the seller reputation and his overall credibility, if the seller is new Then i won't consider it and if the seller is old, I'll give it a try. Then i read the recent negative reviews ( i don't trust positive reviews anymore ). Then i check the past history of product price at pricehistory for rough estimate. Then i compare the offers with pricehistory. I mostly assume that during the price drop, the offer would be much lesser as compared to higher price. Then i check the no cost EMI offer for emi cancelation trick Then i proceed further for the final payment page. I, sometimes, compare the quality and price of the product with offline retailers and if there is any 4% to 8% difference between them then I will go with offline.

Now I prefer offline mostly because of touch and feel. I can feel the product right at that moment before purchasing it like dimensions, colour, durability of components or quality of fabrics

1st I finalize an approx budget

Then look for products available on that budget with or without offer

look for reviews on all platforms like Youtube, Amazon, Flipkart, Any other sites from Google

Then finalize the product which will be best for my needs.

Then I search howcan I get more discount on that. That's where Desidime comes into play.

If there is any product which I finalized and saw on price history, that price of that product comes down frequently, then I wait for price drop.
