It’s that time of the year when everyone is busy making their list of Resolutions! I did too and the one the tops the list is *Be a better Smart Shopper*. It’s no secret that am a shop-a-holic and the second best thing I love to hear any day is *On Sale* words (the first being, you have a *delivery* lol.. ). I do shop quite often and I love playing dress up too, but being the shop-a-holic is one expensive affair!
Shopping is an addiction, while on one hand it makes you feel like you are on top of the World with owning the items you’ve always coveted for as long as you remember, if not paid attention to the spending habits this can often land you up in a big-big trouble. I know I have been there!!So this New Year I have made a Resolution to be better at shopping, be that ultimate smart shopper. Not that I have been worse last year but I want to be definitely better this year!!Everyone has their secret ways to shop more and save more and be that smart shopper and I have my own too.There are quite many ways to save that extra Rupee and splurge on something else. I, like any other girl love some good retail therapy but I also love to do some window shopping (like literally, even online!!) so I am always planning what I want and need well in advance. And today am sharing some of my secret ways to be a better shopper.Tips to help you through and be a smart shopper –1. Make a List of all the Shopping Sites – Everyone has their favorite shopping site, believe me I do too. But more often than not, you find something you love at the most unexpected place. For sure, this stands true to me so I always have a list of shopping sites I want to go looking for a particular style or brand. For example, Myntra offers competitive prices when compared to other sites, so my first choice would always be Myntra. But i also depend on Jabong, Koovs and Flipkart.
2. Signup for their Newsletters – I absolutely hate to see unwanted emails early in the morning, many times it’s unfortunately from the shopping sites. Too many newsletters will bother beyond imagination, so stick to the list made and only subscribe to the ones which interest you. This way you are not only blocking the junk but also getting the first notice when some site or some brand is holding an exclusive sale for a limited time. Brands Exclusive Sale stand to be my favorite always!!3.Download the Mobile Apps – Save time, energy and even sometimes just kill the time browsing through the new launches and collections on the shopping sites. They say, best things happen when you least expect; so always be ready to shop and by making a wishlist ready it’s super easy. And wishlist making is a piece of cake with the mobile app. While waiting for the turn at hospital, eat outs and even waiting for the friend; go browsing the mobile apps and make those wishlists which save time and energy later !!
4.Make a Wishlist – They say Men go shopping to buy what they want, but Women go shopping to know what they want!! Lol… Jokes aside, making a wishlist based on the jeans currently owned, to layer up the camis or whatever be the reason; wishlists come in super handy. As for me, re-visiting my wishlist oftens gets me the best deals. I know the actual price so when I see the item in wishlist is on Sale, I know I have to grab it before it goes out of stock. Result – my wishlist item is owned when its on sale! Saving my time, money and energy.
5. Look for Coupon Codes – Lastly, have coupon codes handy. Codes that the shopping sites give and more importantly the coupon codes that are published exclusively by the Coupon sites. There are quite a few when you google, go around and check which have the best to offer. As for me, Priceburp.com seems to be pretty effective and best part is they have the Myntra Discount Coupons. My point, my favorite shopping site discount coupons are all at one place; making my job much easier.
