Every girl has two personalities that fight every day: the first one wants to spend every penny on new shoes and bags, the second one desperately tries to save money and convince herself that there is no room in her wardrobe. Most often (for some unknown reason), the first one wins and the second one gets upset and starts waiting for the next paycheck.
But it is important to remember that shopping is different. For example, if you prepare a clear shopping list before going shopping, from which you will never deviate, then you are doing everything right. And if any piece you like in your favorite influencer’s wardrobe is shaking up your budget that month, we have bad news: you are engaging in compulsive shopping, which has never led to good results.
Yet we all do it from time to time. Accepting this fact inspired us to create new materials. We will help you save money because you can’t resist shopping. We have compiled five life hacks that really work.
Check products of the same brand in marketplaces
Not many people know this, but some brands are represented not only on official websites, but also on marketplaces. And often prices on different resources differ, so always do a little analysis before buying: where the price is better, is there a cashback, are bonuses given?
Follow offers on social networks
All professional shopaholics follow their favorite brands on social networks and subscribe to their newsletters via email. The latter can of course be very annoying, but these letters often contain promotional codes and information about special offers and sample sales. The same thing happens on social networks. Brands organize contests, raffles, and announce discounts to attract attention and increase activity. Of course, it’s easy to fall into the trap of compulsive shopping, so you should think twice before buying.
Beware of resale platforms and vintage shops
Do not underestimate resale platforms, real treasures can often be found there. Especially if you are looking for bags or accessories from luxury brands. Many users post something without even examining the market, so they put a low price on a product that is in very good condition. So, the author of this material found an original Louis Vuitton for a ridiculous price of 25 thousand rubles. By the way, almost all services have an authentication service, so you do not have to worry that you are being sold a fake. But resale platforms can be used not only for the pursuit of luxury items, but also for the hunt for essential items.
Check out discount stores
Another place where you can successfully buy fashionable items is in budget stores. In short, these are firms that buy products from last year’s collections from other brands, Russian or foreign, at a very good price. That is, discounts often reach 70%. True, there is one important nuance here. You need to go to such stores for several hours, because most of the items are presented in a single copy, and you will have to browse all the rails to find them.
Follow micro influencers and stylists
Bloggers, stylists and micro-influencers often share their findings from brands’ collections that are not paid for them on their social networks. They also publish personal promo codes with a small discount. A small thing, but nice, especially if you are about to buy something. Moreover, some bloggers even maintain Telegram channels with the best deals. How to find them? Your task is to subscribe to several famous fashion bloggers, like their posts, and then the social network itself will suggest you to subscribe to similar content.
