Writing exercise

In the first several years of Double 11 promotion, I have made lots of shopping decisions which I felt regretful later. I remember that I have bought lots cosmetics and shampoos because of the low unit price of large package. I paid all my attention to the low price per unit rather than my daily needs, and just clicked to buy these goods when on-line shops released their sales advertisement. I felt very bored soon because I have to use the only product in the next year, and I didn’t want to use these products anymore in the next several years.

After experiencing several Double 11 promotions, no matter how cheap, I will still think about my daily demands or try to share with others before buying large package goods.

I remember that I have bought lots of/many cosmetics and shampoos because of the low unit price per item. I paid all attention to the low price per unit rather than my actual needs, and I just clicked to buy these goods when on-line shops released their promotions. I got bored very soon because I have to use the same product for the next year, and I didn’t want to use these products anymore for the next several years.

After experiencing several Double 11 promotions, no matter how cheap, I will still think about/consider my needs/priorities or try to share with others before buying large package goods.
