Shopping Philosophies: a shopaholics guide to spending!

I'm sure i'm not the only one out there who has a slight addiction to spending my hard earned pennies on fancy things, however I have realised that constantly spending isn't the greatest thing, I've come up with some rules that I attempt to follow when i'm buying!


    1. Don't spend unnecessary money on 'on trend' items    while they may be pretty at the time ask yourself if its worth paying a lot of money for something you may only wear for one season, buy them for as cheaply as possible and splurge on classic items that you can wear for many seasons to come
    2. Shop around!   I will never understand people who find something they like and simply purchase it then and there, shop around to find better deals before making a purchase because unless its a designer bag i can guarantee you'll find it cheaper somewhere else
    3. Shop online   It is so easy these days to purchase things online, not only are they usually cheaper and with more variety but some online stores even deliver in 3 hours which means you can have the same instant gratification of normal retail shopping!
    4. Look for coupon codes    This one sounds a bit silly but whenever i'm buying online there are always coupon codes somewhere that can get often get you some percentage off your total order or at least get you free shipping. Usually i'll google whatever online shop that I want to buy off and search for its name followed by 'coupon code' or 'discount code' and something almost always pops up!

So hopefully these tips and tricks will help you when your spending money, if you have any other tips feel free to share them below as I would love to know!
