Be Smart

Many shoppers overspend or buy things they don’t want, don’t need and never end up using because they haven’t prepared properly. So, before you set off on your shopping trip, prepare. Review what you already have – in your closet,‘this will help you determine what you need.

You want to feel great about this shopping trip long after the ink has faded on the receipt. One way to do that is to make sure you don’t buy more than you can afford. Set your budget – and stick to it! 

Emotional states that lead some people to overshop and end up buying things they don’t want or need. But they are some of the most common emotional triggers that prompt people to shop unconsciously and therefore not smartly. If you are feeling tired, hungry, lonely, bored, and upset – don’t go shopping.
