On making spending decisions

I'm never going to be that haggling guru in the market or the mom that people brag that they can price for Africa. And here are the reasons.

So, when I got into copywriting , I'd learnt that expensive means "what a customer thinks something is worth." So if someone is buying a Hermes bag for 15k dollars, then they believe the money is worth it, not really because the material of the bag.

Understanding this has really been crucial to how I think of spending. So suppose I go to market and I get something for 10k naira. And somehow, I hear that the cost at other places is actually 6k, I don't allow it to bother me because I bought it at so and so price as it's worth that 10k to me.

Then, I also learnt from twitter, that you should also divide the price you got for something with how many days/times you have to use it. So whether it's forgoing market to do bend down select for 1500 naira casual shorts, I'd rather get it for 3k a piece online. 

Considering I'd wear it for at least a year, and suppose i wear it for 100 days in a year. That sums up to N30 naira each wear. And that's a worthy bargain than going to market and risk being groped or catcalled.

These are my logic in making spending decisions. Anyways, I hope someone got a thing or two from this.
