How do you feel you’re getting a good deal? Is it from the brand you’re purchasing? Is it from how much you paid for what you bought? Or it is from how long you expect your purchase to last? There are many factors that influence what we buy and often the larger the purchase the more anxiety we may feel over whether or not we’re making the right choice. With two major Hallmark holidays around the corner, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, you might be considering a larger gift this year for mom or dad and want to make sure you’re buying it right.
