While these deals are certainly tempting, Gunjariya offers some essential tips before making a purchase. He suggests always checking the seller's reviews (ideally with over 70-80% positive ratings and at least 40-50 reviews), reviewing return and refund policies, and comparing prices at offline stores. For high-value products, he also recommends recording an unboxing video to safeguard against defective items or fraud.

MoreWhat is the best approach to managing home purchase without straining finances?
- A family considers purchasing a home for ₹85 lakh, deliberating between a larger down payment using investments or taking a full loan.
I'm in my early 30s, married with a young child, and working in an IT company for 10 years. I've saved in mutual funds, fixed deposits, PPF, and stocks. We currently live in a rented apartment, but I’ve found a property that fits our budget. The house costs ₹85 lakhs, requiring a ₹25 lakh down payment and a ₹60 lakh loan.
I’m unsure whether to break my investments to reduce the loan amount or take a loan for the entire amount and keep my investments intact. I want to ensure that whichever option I choose doesn’t negatively impact my long-term financial goals, such as my child’s education and retirement. What would be the best approach to manage this home purchase without straining my finances?
