With the festival season fast approaching it is believed that a typical consumer would be spending a lot. As per estimates by National Research Federation it is believed that a typical consumer will spend somewhere around $ 791.10. Deloitte & Touche is of the opinion that $659 will be spent on gifts, so for decorations, party clothes and entertainment the total will go to somewhere around $ 1533.
So before you leave your homes for the store prepare a list of all things you want. Make a complete and exhaustive list. Incase you do not want to over indulge in shopping then leave your credit card home and just carry enough cash, the amount you would like to spend. This is a very painful exercise but trust me it is a lesser pain than overindulging in shopping.
