Hey, there!
I am Tonka from pEri!x - the ONLINE SHOP for unusual upcycled gifts with your daily unusual home & gift idea.
I have to admit something - I love shopping, I mean not only strolling around thrift shops and markets, but also doing grocery shopping!
And as many say - I am the shopping queen. My husband says that when he shops he spends a 100 bucks and we have nothing to eat the next day, and when I do groceries, I spend 50 and we have meals for a week.
So I want to share with you my simple effective shopping tips:
1. Make a list - this might seem obvious but just do it properly. Make a 'need' list and a 'want' list. First get the 'need' one and only then move to the 'want's
2. Set a budget - estimate approximately how much your list is worth and take only so much money with you (of course add a 10% mark for contingency or awesome offers)
3. Follow the list - it is your mission, don't change your mind
4. Eat before shopping - it is essential that you always go grocery shopping on a full stomach, otherwise you end up with fancy things you don't actually need like my hubby
5. Check the prices and make a calculation as you go, so you know how much you have left to spend
6. Always check the bill for some discrepancies with the announced prices and don't be shy to ask your money back if you see something wrong
7. At the cash register, look at your items again - do you really need everything? Ditch the things that you don't!
Happy and effective shopping!
Cheers
Tonka
