- Plan what you want to buy beforehand, so you will not waste your time picking out items during the midnight sale.
- Arrive early, around one to two hours prior to the scheduled sale time, to check whether the stores sell your desired items. Arriving early will also help you secure parking spots.
- Do not be blinded by discounts. Make sure what you buy is actually useful for you.
- Be realistic and check before buying branded items. Look for flaws and select goods that suit your size. Do not force yourself to buy a product that does not suit you to avoid meaningless purchases.
- Make sure you have allocated a specific budget for the midnight sale. Do not spend your entire Idul Fitri bonus or monthly salary in one night. (mas/kes)
