It so happens that when we go to a store for one product, we leave with a thing that we did not plan to buy at all. Or we buy a product whose quality is not up to par. Or we purchase an item that is unsuitable in its parameters for our apartment. Etc. In a word, we spend money not on what we really need, but on what we get. In order to choose the right product, it is enough to follow a few simple rules.

Time, money, information
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing food products, pay attention to the shelf life, the integrity of the packaging, the presence of extraneous unpleasant odors. Canned food lids should not be swollen. Cheese (with the exception of special varieties) and sausages should not be covered with mold, frozen semi-finished products should easily spill inside the package - this indicates that they were stored at the correct temperature regime.
Step 2
Large household appliances (stove, refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher) are quite expensive. Therefore, it is better to devote more time to choosing and buying. In order not to fall for the tricks of the seller, who needs to sell stale or more expensive goods, find out in advance as much as possible about the subject of your purchase. To do this, use the Internet, reviews of friends, advertising information. This, among other things, will also save time, since you will select several models for yourself in advance and will choose from among them, and not from the entire assortment presented in the store.
Step 3
When choosing consumer electronics (kitchen appliances, telephones, cameras, etc.), pay attention to the complete set of the goods, the country of origin, the availability of service. Before you buy a product, ask the seller to demonstrate the device in action for you. Check whether it fits comfortably in your hand, whether this length of the cord will be enough for you, find out how long the batteries work and whether there is a charger for them.
Step 4
Household goods (furniture, carpets, wallpaper, etc.) are not worth buying if they are suspiciously cheap. This may indicate poor quality. The most expensive are furniture and carpets made of natural materials. But their price is quite high. It is better to buy a carpet made of natural silk on the wall, from wool - in the living room or bedroom. Rugs made of synthetic materials are suitable for the hallway - they are both cheaper and easier to clean. When choosing wallpapers, start from where they will hang. For the kitchen, it is better to purchase wallpaper that can be washed.
Step 5
Power tools must have a smooth descent, an official warranty card, instructions in Russian. If you do not plan to work with a power tool constantly, then it will be enough to buy an amateur, not a professional device. His price is much lower than that of a professional one.
Step 6
Personal hygiene products and detergents are best purchased in large supermarkets. Storage conditions are stricter there. In addition, large stores usually work directly with suppliers and manufacturers of products, which excludes the possibility of buying counterfeit goods (fake).
