● I love shopping.
● It’s one of my favorite hobbies.
● I normally do shopping in bulk at wholesale stores.
● There is one such store – Best Price around 15 mins drive from Jalandhar.
● The store opened around four five years ago.
● I remember when it opened there was a huge advertisement and one could see claims like best price guarantee.
● I thought it was a marketing gimmick
● Then one day my uncle visited it and told us the claims are not false.
● The store really offers huge discounts.
● There are heavier discounts on larger order sizes.
● We normally go there once every month.
● It’s around 12 kms from my house. We normally prefer to take our car.
● Sometimes my uncle also joins us.
● We buy so many things like groceries, utensils, cleaning supplies and fruits.
● Recently they added a new garments section too.
● Another advantage is that the store offers free cardboard packaging.
● Also on orders worth more than Rs 5000 they offer free home delivery as well.
● They have a good parking space too.
● But during festival season even this huge parking falls short
● We can see queues outside the store.
● I can spend hours and hours here just shopping and never getting bored.
● There is just one thing that I dislike and it’s the long queues at the checkout counters.
● They have around 20 checkout counters and they are always full.
● It takes anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes waiting for the turn.
● It ones place I can safely say the wait is worth the fruit.
