The ultimate bargain shopping spree can land you and your pals some super cool items. If you’ve never had a full day of bargain shopping, you may not be aware of what you’re missing. Here’s the run through on how to maximize your day’s experience for the minimum dollar amount.
Entice some friends to come along. Bargain shopping is fine on your own, but it can be real fun with several pals along to add to the humorous finds and give you input on what looks good.
Plan in advance. Figure out a solid half dozen thrift shops, consignment shops, or deeply discounted retailers to visit through ‘spree day.’ Map them out so you’re visiting them in an easy to follow order.
Look for bargains, but don’t buy everything that grabs your eye. If you’re not perfectly sure about the utility of an item in your life, leave it. You can always return, which leads to the next concept!
Things, be they a pair of outdoor pants or household products, or even a set of shelves or stereo speakers, always look one way when they’re new-to-you. Ever notice that you buy something that looks great at the store, then get home and find that it’s not what you really wanted? This happens to everyone. To avoid shopper’s remorse, leave items that appeal to you, but that you’re on the fence about. Your mind will gravitate back towards your favorite one or two items throughout the day as you see other items for sale. You can then retrace your steps, and return to buy those select items.
