5 shopping tips to avoid wasting money on Black Friday

To not be over-shopped on this day, you can apply some of the following tips.

1. Set a shopping limit

Before you shop, set a budget that you can afford for yourself or each member of your family on Black Friday. For example, you will buy limited items of 1 million VND per person. This helps you balance the cost of shopping and will not spend other money.

2. Consider whether the item is necessary

Usually, on Black Friday people will shop a lot because of the mass discount products. However, before buying something, you should consider whether it is necessary and will you use it often? Answering these questions can reduce your urge to shop.

3. Plan ahead

Black Friday sales are always announced online and you can plan ahead what you will buy to reduce over-shopping.

4. Use cash

Using a shopping credit card will make you unable to control your purchases. Therefore, you should bring a certain amount of cash that suits your shopping needs to reduce shopping too much.

5. Consider free shipping

Usually, online shopping sites will have the promotion of free shipping with the minimum value order they offer. If you're trying to shop for this amount to get free shipping, you've wasted it. Buy only what you really need.
