It's almost December and I bet you're finished with
your holiday shopping. What? You're not? Well, not to worry. I tried the advice
of those people in YouTube about shopping early and guess what? They're really
right on the money.
Well, it took a little bit of effort, such as noting
down and scheduling things. But then, it's a convenient way to shop.
Less Costs, More Gifts
Obviously, anticipating sales, as these YouTube
tippers advised, had me buying items during percent-off sales. Some gave me
half the price off. But that's just the minimum.
I actually saved on bulk deals offered last August in
supermarts. Some shops, even online shops, were offering huge deals on certain
items. These were running out, but I got them cheaper than I would get in
Christmas.
Less Headache
I also faced less headache on the road. Christmas
shopping traffic is hell, just ask anybody who did their Christmas shopping
last year. If you want to save up on traffic, come home in one piece and keep
your cool, then do your shopping earlier than you plan to.
No Credit Troubles
With huge sales abound and setting up Christmas
shopping during your paydays, you're likely to pay for cash. You could plan
your expenses. If you forgot anything, you could always head back at a later
sale. Paying for cash, and saving up for money, reduces the need to use credit.
But if I plan my expenses accordingly using my credit
card, I could open more opportunities for myself when it comes to financing.
