Question: What are some common mistakes people make when buying products?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Some common mistakes people make when buying products include not doing research, not comparing prices, and impulsively buying based on advertisements.

Reason: These mistakes can lead to overspending, buying low-quality products, or not getting the most value for money.

Example: For instance, if someone wants to buy a new phone, but they do not research the features or compare prices, they may end up paying more than necessary or buying a phone with features they do not need. Similarly, if someone buys a product impulsively because of an advertisement, they may end up regretting the purchase.

Alternative: Another common mistake is buying products that do not align with one's values or beliefs, such as products that use unethical labor practices or are harmful to the environment.
