How to Shop Smart
I have a few tips when it comes to shopping smart.
1) Never shop desperate lol
It’s like shopping for groceries when you’re hungry. You’ll come home with all kinds of stuff you don’t want or need, simply because “it looked good” at the time.
I know that’s tough when you have a last minute event, or realize the dress you wanted to wear doesn’t fit right today or it needs to be dry cleaned, etc.
2) Always make a list
Again, like grocery shopping, you’ll miss things, or buy things you don’t need. I have a list on my phone, that I KNOW are things I need. I get pretty specific. I have my list broken into accessories, clothes and shoes. I list colors, shapes, sizes. For example, I have a chunky, oversized, cream, pullover sweater. That’s color, texture and size.
Then you’re also shopping off a list of items you know you need! Win win!
3) Skip Sales
Okay, not all sales. But I kinda avoid them because you’re tempted to buy stuff because you think you’re getting a deal. But if it’s not something you need, the joke’s really on you.
I usually think, if you’re not willing to pay full price, then you don’t want it that bad. Continued on the next point.
4) Don’t buy full price
I know this contradicts what I just said. But let me explain. Full retail price is usually very overpriced. If you think it’s worth it, then it is for you. I just almost never pay full price for things. Almost never. There are some small exceptions.
5) Shop second hand
You’re almost always getting more bang for your buck! You’re getting something that isn’t adding to the pollution of our earth. You’re getting a little treasure that likely is more unique. There are so many reasons to shop second hand, but those are just a few.
