I don’t really like to purchase any expensive item unless I have a very valid reason to do so. Of course, people would choose to define expensive differently, but I am not really debating here as to what really should be considered as expensive and what shouldn’t be. Instead, I am here to talk about an expensive item that I have purchased recently.
It is a branded perfume, and I bought it (more like “forced” to buy it) about a couple of months ago when I was visiting a new perfume store with one of my friends in my hometown. By the way, I do like to use different kinds of perfumes because the same scent or fragrance, if used for a long period of time, loses its appeal to me. So, I try to buy affordable perfumes at a more regular interval instead of spending a fortune in buying some expensive perfumes.
Anyway, after visiting the new perfume store, I found that it was selling a lot of perfumes at a discounted price, apparently, in an effort to make the store popular to customers. However, I noticed that even though the perfumes were selling at a discounted rate, I felt that they were still expensive. But, my friend thought otherwise and convinced me to purchase a certain perfume. I had never really bought this kind of perfume up until that day nor was I too sure about saving any money, but one thing was for sure that the perfume would last for a considerably longer period of time.
Anyway, I purchased the expensive perfume, mainly because my friend had convinced me to do so. Of course, I also went along with his idea because I felt that it was a very nice perfume, and it would help me to change my taste in perfume for a little while. Finally, I bought it also because I wanted to build a good rapport with the new store so that if I would ever go back to that store again in the future, it would offer me some better price.
