Shopping Delhi

I have not been too much into shopping from multi-brand outlets and super stores like Shopper’s Stop/Globus/Westside (Lifestyle is an exception). I mean I have been there, bought stuff, but that’s because I’m a compulsive shopper. Usually I prefer shopping from single brand shops as I am of an opinion that they give better and consistent deals - besides giving lesser options and much lesser trash.

I happened to visit to Globus with my sis yesterday at Shipra Mall (Indirapuram, Ghaziabad). I was aware that they had some sale going on from the 1st of June - I happen to be on possibly every store’s database, and that’s not something to boast about…yeah! I know it!! Coming back to the Hot Summer Sunday Sale : despite having a sale at a rather odd time - it usually begins from mid-july in Delhi - they had house brands on 30-40% off. Though most of the stuff was stacked under the Fresh Arrival section, there was still a sufficient amount of stuff that one could check out and buy.

There are pretty good mens’ shirt - in full and half sleeves and there are t-shirts to choose from. Unlike a regular sale, they did not have socks, handkerchiefs and undies in economy packs, but most of us have bought enough of that already to miss it. There is a decent lot in the kids section, though the difference between the ’sale’ stock and ‘fresh arrival’ stock is a lot. So chances are that you’ll end up buying the latter.

Under the ladies’ section, there are a lot of suits to choose from, and there are kurtis, skirts and that ethnic stuff. Not much in western-formal or indian-casual range.

Now, what pleased me the most was that even the not-on-sale items are pretty reasonably priced. I know, I sound like a shopping-illiterate here, but honestly in the last couple of years I did not think much of these stores and never took them seriously enough to buy something for myself. I have shopped here for my daughter and am quite happy with that, but not for myself in a long time.

You get a regular decent top in the range of 395-595 and decent pants between 595-1595. It’s not at all throw-away prices, but bearable.

The sale’s on till the 10th or so. If you’re free and not doing much, it a time well spent - in A/C!
