Adopt These 33 Shopping Habits To Save Big And Never Go Broke Again (5 of 7)

Take a month before making a purchase

We are pretty confident that you have a good number of things in your home which you acknowledge were a waste of money. Isn’t it high time you start giving some thought before getting anything billed? You have no reason to fret about it getting all sold out. It won’t and, even if it does, you will come across something even better.

Use only your bank’s ATMs for withdrawing money

ATMs had made our lives fairly simple and the introduction of the facility of money withdrawal even from ATMs of banks other than from those whose cards we had was a cherry on top. Don’t you agree you would save quite a good sum if such an option wasn’t in place? Recall all the times you were out of cash but breathed a sigh of relief upon finding an ATM nearly of some bank you had never even heard of.

Avoid shipping charges

If the website asks for shipping charges on orders under a certain amount, look through and add more items to your virtual cart and, in case you can’t find anything, drop the plan of buying altogether if possible. For instance, if you were shopping groceries, checking your refrigerator for anything that’s about to go stale or exhausted.

Bulk purchase your basics

Now that you are a little tight on finances, you should begin employing all the popular methods of saving money. Chief of those is bulk buying. You have to be careful here as it isn’t so smart to buy everything in large quantities. We say you start with basics such as undergarments, socks, and then figure out what else can be benefitted from by purchasing in bulk.

Refrain from saving your credit cards on online portals

How comforting it feels when a single click is all it takes to place an order! You are saved the hassle of rummaging through your bag for the credit card and then typing its details. And this is exactly why you shouldn’t save your cards on any online platforms. You will have some time to decide and won’t indulge in impulsive buying.
