中营—Tips for shoppers

Tips for shoppers Check for sales ads in the newspaper or online. Always compare prices before buying anything. If ordering from the States, watch for holiday sales. Some of the best sales usually occur just before Christmas. Shop after the season ends when seasonal items are usually greatly discounted. Go to street markets where you can bargain with most sellers. When shopping online, look for sites with free shipping. Avoid shopping with friends. Friends can persuade you to buy something you don’t really need. Know what you’re looking for. The more focused you are, the easier it is to make wise decisions. Don’t shop when you are hungry. Studies show that you’ll usually buy more than you originally planned. Don’t buy something just because it’s on sale. First ask yourself: Do I have the money to buy it? Do I need it? Will I use it? If not, walk away, but if so, go for it! That way you’ll still feel good after you take your item home.
