There are so many people cash strapped each week more and
more people looking out for bargain in
the shops. Have you noticed recently alot more sales and discounts in store.
Recently I took a trip shopping and discovered the beauty
and joy of the sales. I have never been
one to find a bargain in the sale rack of any store, but since losing weight I
have found that this task is much easier.
Sizes are more for me than ever before. On my recent shopping trip I discovered
clothes that were less than half price than their original price. These were
classic items like those I previously described on fashion Friday. So getting classics at a good price is
always self satisfying.
But this makes think – if a store can reduce prices so
drastically in a sale why do we need to pay full price for clothing? Sale shopping can be madness and there are
people who get up out of bed for a store to open at 0500am. I am not one of those shoppers - never have
been and that is not about to change any time soon. But seriously, if you could get exactly what
you wanted for next to nothing price wise would you do it? But when is the
right time to get the items you want so that they are actually a bargain and a
good deal.
Remember, something is only a bargain if you actually need
it and will wear it, other than that you are wasting your money so please be
careful.
Its all about planning.
Most stores once they get in new items will then have a sale on those
items approximately 7 weeks after they have arrived. So if you have the patience; hold out and see
if the item you want really does go down in price.
If you are looking for winter items – you should buy them at
the start of spring when the sales are on.
Remember if you are looking to buy classic you will always find
something of a bargain and remember to buy something that will definitely bring
you in to next year and not something that is good for now.
Need summer items for next year – you should be looking now!
Yes now. Get out in to those stores now
as there are many many sales which are currently on.
The above rules don’t only apply to clothing, but also to everyday
items such as TV’s or washers. These
items normally go on sale around holiday weekends and especially the start of
the New Year. Of course, if your washer
goes before then there is nothing you can do but shop around.
Under normal circumstances, shopping around is the best way
to buy. Remember to price stores in your
local town along side stores on the internet.
For example, if I buy my normal
make up in my local two it will cost be 28€ plus 3€ to park. Ok so now my make up is costing me 31€. Compare that online, whereby I don’t have to
leave the house it costs me 26€ and there is no other post and packing
charges. So, you see shopping around
really will help you save money.
Why do we need to pay full price for any item when sales and
research will help us get the items we want at a lower price. This really is the way to go – take a few
minutes before your next purchase and think – can I get this at a lower
price? Yes, Do I want the item at full price? No – then I
am going to chance it and wait it out.
Best of luck finding your shopping bargains and a great
price.
