These days, I don’t shop so much but I know what makes for a successful shopping expedition. Let me 1) to share/share my top ten shopping tips with you. I hope they help you to shop smart.
Shop with a list. This is my number one tip for good reason. Many people overspend or buy things they don’t want, don’t need and never 2) end up using/to use because they haven’t prepared properly. It’s worth spending a few minutes of your time to put together a comprehensive shopping list before you leave the house. And finally, remember 3) using/to use that list when you shop! Use it and only buy things that are on that list!
Set a budget. You need to set a ballpark figure on what you are going to spend on this trip, what is comfortable for you 4) to spend/spending and what makes sense for you to spend on this shopping trip. Set your budget – and like the list – stick to it! Whatever your budget – $50 or $500 or $5000 – stop 5) to shop/shopping once you hit that limit.
Remember that the sales person is there to sell to you! No matter how friendly or pleasant a sales person is, here is the fact you cannot avoid: they’re in it for the sale. Yes, they may care that you walk out only with items that suit you and that you will use. But they want you to walk out with something. That’s what they are there for – 6) to sell/selling you something, or to maintain a relationship with you so that you keep 7) coming/to come back.
