Many people waste money or buy things they don’t want, don’t need and never end up using because they haven’t prepared properly. This is your hard earned cash and precious time you are spending, it’s worth a few minutes of preparation. So, before you set off on your shopping trip, prepare. Review what you already have and write a list of the items you need. Use it and only buy things that are on that list!
Shopping can be a tiring and stressful activity if you don’t shop at a time that works well for you. Shopping when the malls and stores are most busy can lead to shopping fatigue where you end up anxious and irritable – not a state in which smart shopping usually takes place. So, pick a time to shop when you are going to be at your most alert and positive. And take regular breaks to avoid becoming fatigued.
Make your basic wardrobe feel more exciting with inexpensive accessories — think necklaces, bracelets, belts, and scarves that you can mix with outfits you already own. Especially if your work wardrobe has to stay in the business casual borders, a little accessorizing can make your basics feel fun and special. Either way, you can get away with spending a lot less to make a new outfit.
Shopping for the life you want will get expensive fast, and isn’t likely to get you items that will work with your current routine. Same goes for other kinds of aspirational shopping, too — don’t tell yourself how great those jeans are going to look once you go on a diet. If you actually need jeans, buy a pair that fits you now. You can keep dreaming about tomorrow, just don’t spend your cash on it today.
