Staying on track and sticking to a budget when holiday shopping doesn’t have to be difficult. But with all those great shopping deals out there, it can be tempting to pick up more than you really need, which can lead to buyer’s remorse. Here’s some basic tips on how to better stay on track with your budget and how to make sure you’re getting a good deal.
A few of my own personal tips…
*Never shop without a list…you’ll forget half of what you needed and buy things you didn’t.
*Check your receipt before you leave the store or at least before you leave the parking lot…it’s a pain to have to return to the store if something rang up incorrectly.
*Don’t shop when you’re tired or hungry…which can lead to impulse buys or distract you from concentrating.
