With the opportunity to save big with Afterpay Day, here are some sale spending tips from Mozo’s Money Experts:
Make a list - Shopping online during sales events can get overwhelming as we’re often spoilt for choice. Stay focused by making a list of all the items you want and tick them off as you buy. It also might be a good idea to jot down the sizes of the items to avoid wasting time deciding what would fit best.
Set a budget and stick to it - Making a massive online purchase can give anyone an adrenaline rush, but that high will be short lived when you realise you’ve blown your living expenses for the next two weeks. That’s why you’ll need to set a budget beforehand and stick to it.
Read the returns policy - Understand the returns policy for all the retailers you plan on visiting this Afterpay Day. There is nothing worse than not being able to get your money back because an item cannot be returned.
Not all bargains are equal - Sales can get the better of even the savviest shopper, but it’s important to remember that just because an item is on sale does not mean you have to buy it. Think about it, if those bright red heels are only going to live in the back of your cupboard, it wasn’t really a steal afterall.
