Avon purse mirror !
I was looking for a purse mirror, a small mirror that you can put in your purse and then whenever needed use it , to check your face, eyebrows etc.
I headed to a shop and casually enquired if they would have a small purse mirror. The lady at the counter nodded and put a tiny box in front of me. I opened it and loved the mirror instantly. It had a concave mirror (it would enlarge the face) and regular mirror. It was better than what I was looking for.

After buying few other things , I asked the lady for the total bill. I got a shock and heejibeejis listening to the bill, she helpfully added, the mirror is Rs 200/- . I said " so much", shouldn’t it be for Rs 40/-. The lady smiled and said 'it is great quality and sells well.' I felt cheated but kept calm and gave the money. On my way I kept telling myself, ‘she charged me a bomb because I didn’t ask the price first.’
Over many days, weeks, months and then years, I use this mirror daily. And for the umpteenth time keep dropping it from my height. Always surprised, mirror never broke, did not get any cracks and despite coming off hinges got fixed back just as well.
Gradually I started to say Rs 200/- for this quality and built is cheap. And then many years later still, I say " they delivered great value for this price." I just love the mirror to bits and stay impressed how it has no wear or tear, no colour chipping off and mirror stays fixed in its casing despite 100 falls.
A great product should be appreciated , even though product is not much. Avon mirror continues to impress me no end.
