We want a renovation...

— Dad, Mom says we have to do renovations! Dad, are we going to renovate? — Well, definitely not today. — What about tomorrow? — No. — And the day after tomorrow? — Ugh!

Sound familiar? Has that ever happened? If not — you're very lucky. We hope it stays that way. But you need to be ready to fend off such an attack. So, let's suppose you are a resident of the pleasant and cool city of Krasnodar. And at the same time the head of the family. And someone is trying to make you do renovations. For example, the bathroom. What to do, where to run? Drop everything and go to the shops, trying to find what you need to start the renovation? No, come on. That's not our method. After all, there's the internet.

So, we need to renovate the bathroom. First — let's pick bathroom furniture and sanitary ware including toilets. We go to any search engine and enter queries. For example, we ask the search engine some phrases not very pleasant to the ear or eye, but quite dear to search engines, like "bathtub Krasnodar" and "toilets Krasnodar". It answers with links to online stores. These web marketplaces especially make life easier in difficult moments.

There the product is visible as if in the palm of your hand (that is, of course, if the store is well made), there are no pushy sales assistants whom you end up having to instruct yourself, and prices are usually lower. After all, the store doesn't have to pay rent, nor pay for salespeople and managers. Hence lower prices and more freedom in such a store. You can compare prices from two or three competitors in real time. Or buy one thing in one shop and another in a different one. And, of course, you save a lot of time. A lot. Turning on the computer and opening a browser is much easier and faster than driving to one, two, three stores, seeing what's needed there, and talking to salespeople.

If the stores still don't satisfy your desires, then you need to go to a real brick-and-mortar store and see what you need there. It's better to first visit a store from a large chain. Often they have the same offerings at all outlets, so you don't have to drive around much. And in the case of "I want the same one, but with mother-of-pearl buttons," a phone call to another store of the same company on the other side of town is much more sensible than driving there on a whim.

If the big chain stores couldn't provide what you need — move on to smaller shops, and so on until you find what you're looking for. Sometimes the tiniest and most inconspicuous little shops have exactly what you've been searching for.
