people you should NOT listen to
When it comes to buying things, there are just some people you should not listen to. The person trying to sell you perfume at some pinkish threshold of some departmental store is one of them, and that's me. I mean, when you promote a product, it's in your best interest that as many people buy your product. However, this may not be in the customer's best interest when she only has 100 dollars left for the month or has already exceeded her budget for the month and so on.. I think a financial planner of sorts does more good... ha..
Anyway, just remember that its always in the interest of the sales person to up sell you, to make you spend more, to spend at your maximum ability. So, you would have to discern for yourself and decide if you can afford it and if you actually need that extra bottle of perfume.. ;)
