7 Ways You Can Save Money on Every Purchase

6.  Use a shopping list

Use a shopping list before you go grocery or clothes shopping, even if you’re going to get only one important item in the middle of the day. Spend a minute writing down what to buy, the simple act of documenting your purchases, even without factoring in the cost can help you spend less money overall.

It also helps you to understand what your preferences are in food and clothes, which will save time by freeing you from browsing around in shops.

7. Don’t buy things because of short term discount offers

Unlike long lasting discount coupons, short term sales announcing that all items are at 50 percent off for the week only are a big scam. The items are always marked up, and it uses a mind trick against you, namely, that people tend to shop more when things are available only for a limited time. So never buy anything on sale, unless it’s after major festivals, when the prices are lower than usual.
