DISCUSSION
1. Martha wants to buy a car, but with the
money she has, she can just afford a used
one. The car she's planning to buy is a well
known American brand, it's 5 years old and
its mileage is 80,500. Somebody told her
that she could buy a brand new Chinese car
for the same money, but the brand is not so
well known. What should she do? Buy the
new car or... better the devil you know?
2. Eric finally has the money to buy this
exclusive jacket he's been talking about.
When he goes for it, the clerk at the store
tells him secretly that the jacket will be on
sale (50% off) next week. What should Eric
do? Wait for the sale and maybe not find it
or... a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush?
3. Leonor never minds about prices on
products when she does the shopping, but
what she really cares about is buying only
popular brands, "They are the best" - She
says - Her husband thinks she could save
money if she took some time looking for not
so familiar brands which could be cheaper
and have the same quality. Who do you
think is right?
4. Ashley never goes bargain shopping. She
always buys everything in the first store she
goes to, but her mom prefers comparing
prices from different stores in order to get
the best one. Which one are you like? What
are the pros and cons of such behaviors?
