10 ways to save money
1. Before you buy it, check if its cheaper online
2. Wait 30 days
Sometimes just by waiting you find you lose the urge to buy it
3. Wait
A common trick online retailers do is you put something in your cart, and then you leave. They will then send you a discount code by email enticing you to buy (thus saving you money).
4. Shop the sales
Wait for the sales to happen - because sales always happen
5. Shop last year's model
6. Buy used
This works for things like books, some electronics, toys, baby stuff
7. Borrow instead of buy
Sometimes you can borrow something from a friend or neighbour instead of having to buy it yourself
8. Group buy
Buy in bulk and then split the costs with others
9. Wait until it's out of season
As you get into the summer, winter clothes are on sale so that the inventory can be cleared (and vice versa for summer clothes in the winter).
10. Ask
Although you can't do this at all retailers, it wouldn't hurt to ask at local stores. Ask for a first-time discount. If you're buying multiple products, ask if there's a discount for buying multiple products. As awkward as it feels, let silence do the work for you. Ask for a discount and then wait.
