SA
Annual sales events like Black Friday, Cyber
Monday, and Boxing Day sales can o昀昀er
signi昀椀cant discounts. Plan your big-琀椀cket
purchases around these events to take
advantage of the lower prices.
Example: Many electronics and gadgets are
heavily discounted during these events, making
it an ideal 琀椀me to upgrade your tech without
breaking the bank.
Think Long-Term
Trade In Programs
It’s painful to toss an old item that you
once paid a pre琀琀y penny for, but such is
the life cycle of shopping…or is it? With
trade-in programs, you can get something
for those previous purchases to put
towards your new one!
Some琀椀mes, spending a bit more upfront
can save you money in the long run. Invest
in quality items that will last longer, rather
than cheaper alterna琀椀ves that might need
replacing sooner.
Example: A good quality pair of shoes might
cost more ini琀椀ally, but they will last longer and
be more comfortable, saving you money and
discomfort over 琀椀me.
Eligible Discounts
Many retailers o昀昀er special discounts for
seniors, local residents or for simply being
a regular customer. Some member-based
organisa琀椀ons also o昀昀er their members
special rates at par琀椀cipa琀椀ng retailers.
Can You Give Me a Better Price?
Many retailers will reduce a listed price
(especially for expensive items such
as electronics) if you simply pose the
ques琀椀on. It doesn’t hurt to ask!
Smart shopping is all about
making informed decisions
and taking advantage of
the resources available to
you. By planning ahead,
using technology to your
advantage, and keeping
an eye out for deals, you
can make the most of your
money and enjoy the process.
Happy shopping!
