Do you spend too much money when
you go shopping?
Here is some useful advice.
● Before you go shopping, make a list of
the things you want.
● When you go shopping for clothes, ask
yourself: Why am I buying this T-shirt? Is it
only because it’s on sale? Is it really a
bargain? Do I really want a purple and
green T-shirt?
● Don’t shop for food at the supermarket
when you feel hungry! Hungry people buy
too much food – and the wrong kind of
food! Go shopping after a meal.
● Buy things from your local market.
Prices are usually cheaper there.
● When you go into a shop, ask the
assistant for help or advice. Then you
won’t buy the wrong things.
● Don’t go shopping when you are bored.
Not all activities cost money! For example,
you can meet your friends in the park.
● Save some money every week. Do you
really want an ice cream every day in the
summer? Stop buying ice cream for a
month and you can afford to buy that
brilliant new computer game!
