If clothes are your weakness and you can’t resist shopping, check out these valuable tips that will allow you to shop till you drop—without disturbing your monthly budget!
Always have a budget
Never go shopping without deciding how much money you will spend and how much you can afford to splurge without digging a deep hole in your pocket. Stick to the budget even if you have to go without buying something you’ve seen on a mannequin while window-shopping.
Do not shop with plastic cards
This is the most convenient way to avoid unnecessary shopping. Keep aside enough money for your purchases of the day. When you pay cash, you tend to spend less, as you can actually ‘see’ your money disappear.
Shop where you find discounts
Don’t be shy to go to the discounted area in a mall. Discounts are a blessing, as they help you in redeeming your shopping pangs almost every month. But, don’t fill up your cart with needless stuff just because you are getting it cheap.
Don’t join the bandwagon
Always buy what suits you and opt for something that defines your style and comfort. Following the herd will only add to your expense and leave you with stuff you may not use.
Do out-of-season shopping
Every experienced shopper will tell you to shop for summer items during monsoons and so on. Most styles make a comeback every year and what you buy off-season will be trending in the next few months.
Take care of your clothes
Take good care of your clothes to make them look fresh and bright
and last longer. This will curb your urge to change your wardrobe every two months.
