Spring is often the time when we go shopping, often for new items to refresh our wardrobes, but you have to be careful not to overspend!
Here are some great tips to keep you on budget!
- Decide on a limit for your shopping trip. This limit should be an amount of money you can take out of your bank account and still have plenty of money left to pay all your bills and regular expenses that month.
- Try on everything first and have the store hold it for you. Buy nothing until you've visited every store you plan on going to for this particular shopping excursion. Take pictures or make a list of the items you have so you can keep straight all the items you've liked so far.
- Purchase your items starting with the most important pieces first. When you run out of cash, you are done shopping.
And that is how you renew your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Shopping can still be fun, but it doesn't have to be so much 'fun' that you regret your purchases later.
