邱政政教你购物狂的必备英语

1. 购物狂最喜欢的两个日子是？

Black Friday（感恩节后第二天）和Boxing Day（圣诞后第二天）。 为什么？这两天都是销售旺季啊！Black Friday标志着Christmas Shopping Season的开始：

On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. Black Friday is not actually a holiday, but many employers give their employees the day off, increasing the number of potential shoppers.
这一天商店开门都会很早，凌晨四点就会开门，虽然不是法定节假日，但基本上这一天都会放假，无形中给了大家购物的机会。

Boxing Day中文里称之为节礼日，这一天商家都会打折，所以是购物的好日子：

In Britain, Canada, New Zealand and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price decreases. For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest revenue.
在英国、加拿大、新西兰和澳大利亚一些地区，节礼日的意义跟美国的Black Friday一样，是名副其实的购物日，这一天各处都有打折，商家在这一天的收益几乎是全年最多的。

2. 购物之后，除了商品，还有什么不能忘记？

不要忘拿receipt（收据），上面通常会印有Exchange and refund policy：90day exchange，30day refund with tags.90天之内可以更换商品，30天内可以退货（商品完好的状况下）

3. 除了节假日打折，还有哪些省钱妙招？

节假日之外我们还可以用到coupon，优惠券；一般商场里平时也会有降价出售以吸引人气的商品，这种称为loss leader。超市或者便利店里还有送积分的活动，这种叫做frequent shopper program，买的多，积分多，一般就会有折扣或者礼物。想当一个职业的购物狂嘛？买东西前真的要多做homework哦~
