How to Shop Wisely and Not on Impulse
It's so easy to get carried away with all the shopping options around that you need a will of steel to resist sometimes. However if you apply simple shopping tactics, you'll soon prevail. Here are a few helpful pointers to help you shop without guilt.
Step
1
Bring a friend. It's always helpful to have someone help you edit your choices and be your voice of reason when you're on the verge of spending more than you want to or should.
Step
2
Ask yourself if you already have something like this in your wardrobe. If you do, reconsider the purchase and put it back.
Step
3
If you for a second hesitate whether you should buy it or not, it's a sure sign that you don't love the item and you could probably do without it. So put it back.
Step
4
Don't be swayed by sale items. Just because something is on sale, if you don't need or love it, it won't be a bargain if it's just going to sit in your closet and you're not going to wear it.
Step
5
Also, just because some things are on sale, if you stock up and buy several things, the bill will quickly add up and before long, you'll end up spending more than you know - or would care to.
Step
6
Try to walk away.
Step
7
If after you take all of this into consideration and the gravitational pull is still strong and you can't stop thinking about it, then purchase the item. Be sure to get a sales receipt.
Step
8
Take the item(s) home and hang it up where you can see it, still leaving the price tag on. You usually have up to thirty days to return the piece and get a full refund.
Step
9
The purpose of hanging up the garment and keeping the price tags still intact is so you can look at the item every day over a period of time and see if you still want it.
Step
10
Bear in mind the store's return policy and how many days you have to return the item for a full refund. If you change your mind and no longer want to keep the piece, then return it with the sales receipt.
Step
11
This will ensure that you have not impulsive shopped and after some time and consideration, decided to return the piece and saved yourself money in the process.
