How-to #1

It is often difficult when caught in a fanatical moment, to think rationally. Seeing shoes that are exactly what you have always needed can make for tears of joy, then empty pockets, then tears of desperation because there is no money left for food.
This is an online shopping how-to but by no means is this intended for exclusive use - you have to go out into the world and walk a bit as well.

Step 1
So you found the boots that make you cry.

If you can't make that out, it says $278...

And you may be saying to yourself - "look at that hefty price tag! Oh well..."
STOP RIGHT THERE.
There is never a time when it is appropriate to purchase something immediately without seeing some competitive options.


Step 2
Think about what the item you want actually is, without all the specific-to-brand advertising. These boots are, in essence, engineer boots.


This is precisely what you should type into google. Then scroll down, don't be lazy. Often the best deal will be more obscure than you'd think.

Step 3
Find it. Find the deal if it kills you.

Whenever you see the word 'Target,' think of it as your guardian angel. Don't be shy, check it out.

Step 4

Would you look at that. It is practically the same boot.

Step 5

Do some comparisons to make yourself feel even better about your awesome life.

Hah. Target even gives you free shipping.

Gloat at the person nearest you even though he/she probably will not care.

DONE.
