Prepare a shopping list

Visiting the supermarket without a list is one of the worst things you can do to yourself. You not just waste time strolling having no idea of what you need and what you already have in plenty but end up buying mostly what you are better off without. That frustrating feeling when you learn you came back forgetting to get what you primarily went for can be avoided if you take some time out to prepare a list.

 

 

Skimping isn’t always the right thing to do

You need to be a little choosy when it comes to things you skimp on. Going for a cheaper cellphone that has pretty high chances of becoming unusable in a year isn’t saving money. It’s better to splurge a little and get one you can use for two to three years. On the other hand, paying extra for the neat packaging of essential commodities is absurd.

 

 

Compare stores’ weekly/monthly deals with the coupons you have

Do Coupons Look Like

You can save considerably with just the coupons but if you redeem them at the ideal stores and on the ideal days, you get the benefits of both combined. Regular text alerts, email notifications, and ads in newspapers have made this idea all the more feasible since you don’t have to take the trouble of checking with the stores regarding their upcoming deals.

 

 

Make sure you are enrolled for rewards at the stores you visit frequently

Sellers come up with exciting ways to maximize their sales during festivals or other special occasions. If you are lucky, you might get something useful at a throwaway price. Can you afford to miss out on such opportunities and repent when told about it later by a friend? Inquire about the upcoming rewards programs every time you visit them and make sure you are in.

 

 

Give away your old clothes in return for discounts

You are never going to want to wear the clothes you haven’t worn for like a year. Your wardrobe is overflowing with apparels and you only get new ones without ever caring to clear the clutter to make some space for them. We say you devote this weekend to sort out this mess. Once you have all the unwanted pieces separated, pack them tightly, and take the sack with you the next time you go shopping to have them exchanged in return for discount coupons.
