That's a terrible mistake to make，folks.This is a top item that should be bought only during sales because its original price is really very high.If you plan your shopping just a little bit in advance of winter，you can save lots of money. 2．Books With the e book becoming more and more popular，buying and reading books are becoming extinct.The reason why this item should be bought only during sales is that it will give you the best value for money.Also，with books causing storage problems and magazines being good only for one time reading，buying these items during sales is the best way to go. 3.Cosmetics All the women out there will be flabbergasted when they see the kind of variety and the rates at which otherwise expensive cosmetics from brands like Dior，Maybelline，Revlon，M.A.C and the likes are available during sales time.Quit throwing off all your hard earned money on such expensive cosmetics and insist on buying these items only during sales to get great prices and bargains. 4．Refurbished electronic appliances and gadgets Electronic appliances and gadgets are items you must buy only during sales time from the refurbished division because paying a large price tag for its original cost is just a waste of money.After holiday season when a lot of people return unwanted gifts，they all hit the refurbished section and the prices are greatly cut down.Now，that's a good enough reason for you to buy these items only during the sales，isn't it? 5．Alcohol Of course，we don't expect you to buy your regular supplies of affordable wine and beer during sales.But friends，for those occasional parties，we're sure you'd need to stock up with some good champagne，fine wine and heavily priced alcohol，right? We suggest you buy a stock of expensive alcohol only during sales time，especially in and around holiday season to get great rates. 1．accessory n． 附件 2．cosmetic n. 化妆品 3．insist on 坚持 4．refurbish vt. 翻新；刷新；擦亮；使清洁；整修 5．cut down 削减；降价 1．In what time is better to buy expensive fur coats? ________________________________________________________________ 2．Why are buying and reading books becoming extinct? ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.In advance of winter. 2.Because the e book is becoming popular.
