Five Shopping Secrets You Need To Know

 
  1. Assess your motives. Do not go grocery shopping when you are hungry because you'll buy more. Don't go clothes shopping when you've just been paid because you're likely to splurge.
  2. Buy a cell phone, even used, online or from an independent seller. Then choose your plan so you don't have to get locked into a long contract, just to have a certain phone you want.
  3. Use cash. Besides being able to negotiate a lower price on some goods, you'll limit your shopping to only the cash in your wallet. Once it's empty, the shopping is over.
  4. Buy seasonal items on clearance. Stores are dramatically slashing prices, you get the benefit. This works very well for children's clothes. Buy next year's sizes at this season's cut-rate prices.
  5. Use websites to track 30-day price guarantees and collect on the sale price after you've already purchased your product. Stores hate to give you money, while you love to get the best price.
