双十一快到了,相信很多朋友购物车里早已放入了各种神器和礼品。借这个机会,给大家介绍一下加拿大购物省钱方法和体验。今天我们关注的是日常省钱方法,不涉及各种大型打折日,例如黑色星期五和圣诞节打折(boxing day)。
省钱策略
第一、留意店铺折扣
每家商店每天都会推出不同的打折商品,以至于我们基本上不买不打折的商品。因为可供选择的种类实在太多。很多店基本上每周会固定一天进行固定商品打折。比如,一家小酒馆会在周三推出“鸡翅日”(取Wednesday 和 Wings’ day的谐音)。
第二、关注店铺手机APP
每家店都推出了手机APP,方便查询每周的打折信息(Weekly flyer)。此外,还有一些APP为大家归纳了很多店铺的打折信息,这样,方便顾客对比价格,以最低价购买到所需商品。一个叫Reebee的手机APP上面提供了很多家的打折信息,例如:Walmart, Superstore, London Drugs, T&T, Home Depot, Toys R Us 和 Canadian Tire等。
第三、加入店铺会员
商家一般都会为顾客提供会员服务。有些会员服务是只针对某家店铺的,有些则适用于多家店铺。有的会员卡,积分后可以当作代金券使用,有的则直接返现。比如,Shoppers Drug Mart 的Optimum卡的积分则可以抵现;而Costco的会员卡则是返现卡。此外,每年Shoppers Drug Mart会提供两次增值积分活动,即同样的积分,在增值活动时,可以兑换更多价值的商品。
第四、使用价格匹配政策
很多商家都提供价格匹配政策(Price Match),即如果你在其他商家的海报上(flyer)看到同样商品标出了更低价,只要将海报给收银员看一眼,就可以以这个低价买到商品。换句话说,你在同一个商店,可以以其他店铺的价格买到同样的商品。这样就省去了顾客为了一件便宜商品,而专门跑去一家店的麻烦。Toys R Us的Price Match对象甚至涵盖亚马逊网购的价格。
第五、使用学生折扣
在校学生可以凭学生证可以申请到SPC卡,这是专门为学生提供的打折卡,在参加活动的店铺,可以享受九折优惠。
购物体验
从总体上说,加拿大的购物还是很愉快的。除了清仓甩卖的商品(在结账前收银员会明确告诉你是清仓甩卖,概不退换,如果你不同意,可以不买),都是可以随意退换的。
有一次我去Canadian Tire购物,结账时,我们前面的一位顾客,拿着一台看着很旧的咖啡机,前来换货。这位顾客对工作人员说,这台咖啡机不工作了。工作人员看了看购物小票,二话没说,就去给拿了台新的来。
很多商家,没有小票也是可以退货的。
有一次老公在Costco买了件羽绒服,后来不想要了,但是找不到小票。拿去退货,工作人员也是很爽快的给退了。
2014年我们回国前,给老公在Sears专门买了件新羽绒服。压根没有想会退货,就没有保留小票。但回国穿了一个月,发现钻毛钻得很大家。回到加拿大,抱着试试看的心理,拿去柜台问一下。结果,竟然很轻松地给退了。
看了我们的这些经历,如果你认为北美人素质都很高,那你就错了。前几天有报道说,已经进行破产清算的某商家偷偷将价格提高了。有人将标签上的价格揭下来,发现,原价更便宜。
在哪里,都有奸诈的商人。作为消费者,一定要擦亮眼睛。遇到不公平待遇,一定要通过正规渠道维权。说到维权,我想起同学说过的一件事:
购物结束后,如果你收到了不好的商品,仍然给好评的话,那么,你被商家再以后的购物中发次品甚至假冒伪劣商品的可能性,会比那些经常维权的买家,要高很多。
关于环保
理智购物,不仅为自己省钱,更会为这个我们赖以生存的地球减少一些污染。
曾经看到一组图片,记录了一些被人类垃圾伤害的海洋生物。其中一只小海龟由于小时候被一个塑料瓶缠住,长大后,瓶子仍然隔在它的肚子上,把它的肚子隔成两段。看了这个画面,心里真的是非常难受。
也许,在有些人眼里,它们只是动物,可在我眼里,它们是和我们一样的存在,也有权力健康快乐地生活在这个地球上。不要让我们的不文明行为,伤害了这些可爱的动物们。
让我们理智购物,抵制过度包装,抵制乱扔垃圾的行为!
结语
在你摩拳擦掌磨刀霍霍的同时,也要擦亮眼睛,当心上当受骗。毕竟,羊毛出在羊身上,你以为的折扣,并不一定是你以为的折扣。有些商家早已悄悄在几个星期前,将原价提高了。
理智购物是因需要而买,不因打折而买。
祝大家购物愉快!

其实你可以坐下来,静静想一想,如果你买了你购物车里的东西,过几个月后,它们何去何从了?如果你的未来里还有它们,说明它们有用,就果断买吧。反之,还是弃之为上策。我现在比较推崇“断舍离”的生活理念。简单的,才是最好的。仅供参考哈。

“你以为的折扣,并不一定是你以为的折扣。”
Marketing伎俩。不要被蒙骗了。以为自己见到了便宜哦。
做个精明的消费者吧!
“理智购物是因需要而买,不因打折而买。” 举手举脚赞同!!!

是的,这样可以了解到价格是否变化。但是,我们没法了解那些降价的商品是否也降低品质了。网购还是有很多隐患的。

其实双十一什么都好了,就是物流太慢了,主要是爆仓了,快递员要加班加点送货也是够辛苦的。
完全同意😄

如果恰好有你需要的,那这是个好折扣;如果只是为了使用这个折扣而凑单,那就没有必要了。Happy shopping! LOL.

哈哈!! 但我擔心那時候下單會塞車, 加上這次折扣沒有太大的影響,所以還是趕緊先買 XD

Interesting, Google translates Chinese Singles Day as Double Eleven Day; what is it? Is it like Valentine's Day?

Chinese Singles’s Day is an informal festival celebrated by the singles initially. Since the Arabic numbers for November eleventh are 11. 11, it reminds the singles that they are alone. Besides, 1 looks like a stick and the Chinese words for singles are similar with the Chinese word for stick. That’s how Singles’ Day came.

On the other hand, it is also known as Double Eleven Day. This is also an informal day, created by the Chinese people. Because Chinese likes the even numbers or double things, they think November 11 (11. 11) is a lucky date. So on this day, my stores offer various discounts to attract customers. Similar to Boxing Day.

Aha of course, that makes sense, thank you, I love finding out about traditions. I can't wait one day to switch so effortlessly between Chinese and English like you do! :-)
