Money Saving tips



  • Make a Shopping List. Before you run your shopping, make a list of everything you plan on buying. The rule is: you're not allowed to buy anything unless it's already on your list.

  •  Only Bring the Cash You Need.  You can't spend money you don't have. Before you go out shop, put a small amount of cash to cover all the buying you plan on doing. If the cash runs out, you’re shopping sprees done for the day.
  • Comparison Shop. Don't be a sucker when you see a price tag.  For instance, if you want a new Vidio game , don't buy it right away. Call around to the video game shops and wholesale retailers in your area to see who has the cheapest price, and check online at sites like Amazon and Deep Discount
      
  • When it Comes to Clothes, Just Buy the Basics. Before you buy something,  ask yourself how often you'll actually wear it. Chances are, you're better off with a smaller number of basic piece  that you can make unique every day with accessorie
    Try Not to Shop Bored. The silliest purchases happen when you probably shouldn't have been shopping in the first place.   If you and your friends are bored and looking for something to do, don't automatically run to the mall.

    When in Doubt, Leave the Store. Put it down and leave the store. If you decide later that you really, want it, then you can go back and buy it But chances are, you'll be happy you saved your money.

    Before You Buy It, Make It. You can save a lot of money buy staying out of the shops and doing things yourself.  Want some jean shorts?  Turn a pair of old jeans into cutoffs.  Want to decorate your room with some band posters?    

    Don't Be Seduced By Sales. Novice shoppers will sometimes buy something they don't need just because it's super-cheap. Cheap or not, there's no use spending any amount of money on something you'll never use. Leave the store and come back only if you're sure you want it 
     
    Shop Out of Season. Bathing suits are cheaper in the winter and  coats are cheaper in the summer. Plan your big shopping trips a couple of months in advance to find some great deals. Just don't buy any super-trendy styles that'll look dated next year.


    Don't Be Afraid to Haggle. If you think you're getting a bad deal on something - because you've seen it cheaper elsewhere, because the merchandise is flawed in some way - talk to the salesperson. It might save you some cash,

    See if Your Parents Will Split It.. If there's a big-ticket item you've been saving up for - like a smart phone, or a pair of boots - your parents might be willing to split the cost with you 50/50 if you make a good case for it  

    Go Thrifting. Buying used is better for the environment and cheaper than buying new. Before you head anywhere else, check out your local thrift stores, vintage shops, used bookstores and CD exchanges. You can also thrift from home  on website 

    Save Your Receipts. And don't remove clothing tags or take your new goodies out of the box until you're ready to use them
