If you have large purchases coming up, then, having chosen a thing in the store, do not rush to part with a tidy sum of money right away. There is often an opportunity to save money on a purchase. Think, maybe you will be able to get the desired product cheaper?
Instructions
Step 1
Find online retailers that sell a similar range. Often the same product is sold in them much cheaper, because virtual stores do not bear the cost of rent and salaries of sales assistants. However, beware of scams. Use only trusted sites that have a good reputation and provide a guarantee for their goods. If prepayment is required, checking the reliability of the supplier should be even more thorough (look for reviews on the Internet and among friends).
Step 2
If it is acceptable for you to buy items after a service repair, you can save up to 70% of its original cost. This category includes items (usually household appliances) returned by customers under warranty that have been repaired. Don't be confused, we are not talking about used goods here. All guarantees of the manufacturer and the store are preserved for these positions, you will be issued a warranty card.
Step 3
Do not hesitate to ask the seller in the store if he can provide you with a discount. Very often, sales consultants have this opportunity, unless we are talking about buying a piece of the latest arrival or from the latest collection. And of course, ask for a discount if the product has minor damage - be it a torn button on a shirt or a scratch on the body of a washing machine.
Step 4
Look for sales. On sales, stores looking to get rid of excess inventory sell their goods for much less. The discount can be up to 50%.
Step 5
Buy goods with promotions arranged in honor of holidays, own anniversaries of the manufacturer or store, etc. Such promotions are being prepared 3-6 months before their holding, you may well ask the store employees if such events are planned in the near future.
Step 6
Consider the possibility of becoming a member or even organizer of joint purchases. This type of shopping, which is popular today, is based on small-scale wholesale purchase of goods by a group of persons at wholesale prices.
Step 7
Use discount cards. If, for example, you buy groceries in the same supermarket every day, buy their discount card, it will pay off very quickly. If you have a one-time purchase in any boutique, find out if your friends have the discount card you need.
Step 8
Finally, you can always just go to different stores, because prices even for the same items can vary significantly. Large retail outlets, chain stores provide information on the price by phone.
