Rebecca Bloomwood, fictional character and shopaholic from the book Confessions of a Shopaholic is great at shopping but not a smart shopper. She always have creative ways to get what she wants but ends up flat on her face for over-spending.
You need to be a smart shopper to spend your hard earned money well.
Tips in smart shopping:
• Create a shopping list.
• Compare prices. Good things come to those who window-shop
• Shop on sale. Buy the basics in bulk when on sale. I’d think twice though about buying food on sale.
• Take advantage of rewards cards or points from credit cards. I love rewards cards because it gives value for my money. Who doesn’t like free points you can convert to cash or cool products?
As a mom and wife, I keep a tight budget for the family. By doing so, it allows me to afford the basics and splurge on luxuries once in a while. Having a rewards card also helps as I get rewards that range from discounts for frequent shoppers, gifts with purchases, first dibs at sale items and bundled promotions. It’s like shopping for FREE!
