Shop Smart

There are ways of getting what you want without paying too much money on clothes. Here are some of them:

Don't shop as entertainment

When you hang out at a mall on a Saturday afternoon, you see things you don’t need. But because you see and fancy them, you feel like buying them. Remember! You mustn’t buy clothes for fun.

Shop the sales

If you shop the big sales to buy needed items, your shopping stays focused, and you get more for your money. Go shopping on sale season. But don’t buy just because something is on sale. Do you really need it?

Wait for the sale

When you see something you like, approach a salesperson to ask if the item will go on sale anytime soon and wait for it.

For gifts, shop in advance instead of the last minute

You may be able to get something on sale. Don’t wait until the last minute. If you cannot find just the right thing, you may blow your budget on something else out of desperation.
