Sensible Spending
or Buyer, be aware!
- Only buy what you can afford.
- Make sure you need it.
- Don't get carried away.
- If you cannot afford it now, make sure it is worth getting yourself into debt.
Control Your Shopping
Before you leave home:
Make a list (see Control Your Needsabove).
Decide your budget.
Make sure you are dressed comfortably.
If you are buying clothes: Set out in clothes which can be slipped on and off easily in dressing rooms.
Make sure you are not hungry.
While you are shopping:
Stick to your list.
Stay within your budget.
Resist temptation.
Avoid buying any item which is not your size.
During Sales:
Buy what you could not otherwise afford: this is the time to choose quality!
Remember your consumer rights do not change during sales.
