We are not rich enough to buy cheap things. A well-known aphorism, which nevertheless has long lost its relevance. Today it is quite easy to get lost in the whirlpool of things - expensive, but not always useful, cheap, but of sufficient quality, or just the opposite. And we can safely say: "shopping today is a real art." Catch a short life hack on what to do so that purchases are both useful and joyful.
RECOGNIZING THE NEED
Each purchase should be your balanced and thoughtful decision and cover an existing need. Avoid spontaneous spending. Decide on the minimum and maximum price that is acceptable for your budget. It's not a secret for anyone that the price of a product can fly far into the sky, it's not in vain to say: there is no limit to perfection. Just choose your bar and have fun shopping, don't card yourself.
ABILITY TO USE SALES
We can say that sales contradict the previous thesis, but ... Sales, especially those that you know about in advance, can be an excellent tool for planning purchases. Modern marketplaces must compete with each other and therefore regularly hold a variety of incentive events. This is what allows customers to save money. So feel free to include them in your planned shopping strategy.
WORKING WITH THE PURCHASE LIST
The easiest way to articulate your real needs is by making a list. This is how you clearly realize whether a “purchase” is really a need or is it a momentary “hoteika”. This will help you avoid unreasonable spending and save the resource for what you really want. Or, on the contrary, decide that you deserve a little weakness for yourself.
FIGHTING IMPLICATED NEEDS
A lot of "needs" are imposed on us from the outside. 24/7 information resources broadcast to our eyes and ears “what we really need”. And one should still have / form a certain critical thinking, or distinguish one's own need from an alien one. This is a very important element of the art of shopping. It is he who allows you to use high-quality things and services without worrying about their price. You just reached your goal. We bought what was planned, enjoyed it, parted with the amount acceptable to you.
