Sometimes we shop out of necessity while at other times we shop because we are either bored or we just feel like it. I’m sure you’ll agree when I say that shopping robs us of a large chunk of our monthly income. However, did you know that there are counter moves to help you stick to a set budget?
Here are a few quick tips to help you save moolah while you’re on a roll!
- – Know Before You Go
Before you head for the store, you must jot down the specific items you need. This will make it easier to work out where you can make cuts.
- – Don’t Wander
Visit only the outlets which are going to help you with your purchase. Wandering into different outlets will only pinch a hole in your pocket.
- – Never Shop When You Are Hungry
While purchasing groceries, bear in mind that you are not hungry as this will make you fall for the delicious display on the aisles. Follow a list based on your needs.
- – Start Shopping in the Middle of the Store
Bright colored, attractive items are placed in a fanciful manner at the entrance of stores to lure customers into making impulsive, unnecessary purchases. Head to the middle of the store where items of your need are displayed.
- – Music Helps You be a Better Shopper
Listen to upbeat music on your headphones while shopping. This will make you move at a faster pace while you purchase only those things you need.
- – Be aware of the Schedule
Most clothing brands have end of season sales twice or thrice a year. Note the dates in your calendar so you don’t miss out on the sale.
Psst..Benetton has a sale going on right now. You can check it out HERE
