Buy in Bulk
For items you use regularly, buying in bulk
can be a great way to save money. This is
particularly true for non-perishable goods
like toiletries, cleaning supplies, and pantry
staples.
Example: Subscribe & Save programmes offer
bulk buying options that can significantly
reduce the cost per unit. Just make sure you
have enough storage space at home!
Shop Out of Season
Seasonal items often go on sale at the end
of their peak season. Buying winter clothes
in the spring or summer gear
in the autumn can lead to substantial
savings. A report from Deloitte suggests
that consumers can save up to 50% on
seasonal items by purchasing off-season.
Trend Tip: Keep an eye out for clearance
sales both online and in-store. Retailers need
to make room for new stock, which means
deep discounts for savvy shoppers.
Consider Alternative Brands
Some琀椀mes, paying for a brand name doesn’t
necessarily mean be琀琀er quality. Many
generic or store-brand products are made
by the same manufacturers as their branded
counterparts and can be just as good.
Example: Most supermarkets o昀昀er their own
brand products that are o昀琀en cheaper and of
comparable quality to more expensive brands.
Use Cashback Offers
Cashback programmes are a fantas琀椀c
way to get a li琀琀le money back on your
purchases.
Savings: Research by Quidco indicates that
users earn an average of $300 per year
through cashback o昀昀ers.
