Get The Most for Your Money

     Sure, we all save our money once in a while. But most people splurge a lot. Even if you think, "Saving? Not for me! Why now? I'm happy! Maybe later!" Saving a few bucks here and there can't hurt! Here are some ways to get the most for your money:

      1) Make A List   I know it sounds so traditional, but make a list! Make one for every store, and set it up with your favorite products you need on top, and other ones on the bottom. Check a store's website to help you. Also list prices and sales as well. Limit yourself to a max number of products you want in that store. If you go over that limit, limit in other stores.
 
     2) Look Before You Leap, or Buy    I know I've mentioned this in previous blogpost, but before you look at the price tag, think how much you would spend, max. If its over, don't buy it. Give or take $3-$5.

     3) Samples   Ask for samples for things to test them out before you buy.

     4) Too Much Shopping?!    I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes too much shopping is possible! Don't go more than 3 times a month to the mall. Go, maybe twice. I go less than once a month, so basically once or twice every two months.

    5) Lookout!   Be one the lookout for sales, coupons, and get on the mailing list for coupons! Also, some stores offer free bonus cards that are fantastic, so ask!
