How To Be A Bargainholic

Dear World  Bargainholics,

I’ve decided to compile a list of how to become a Bargainholic. It’s simple, fresh and slightly similar to being a shopaholic! Only, its being a bargainholic. 

1. The most IMPORTANT thing about being a bargainholic is – YOU MUST ALWAYS BE UP TO DATE  on fashion trends. How else can you know what you’re bargaining for, if you don’t know what’s in.                                                                                       

            SO, invest some money in a couple good magazines – trust me, you’ll be glad you did!

      

2. Make A SHOPPING wish list, of things you would love to have, or need but can’t afford. Chances are, you would stick more to the list than to your impulses. THIS IS THE UNDERLINING SECRET of being a Bargainholic.  (see how to make a shopping wish list for more details)

An example of a Shopping Wish list  Scrapbook…

3. Time to…*Drum roll please* SHOP!!!  You have your list, you know what you are looking for, you’ve done your research and now you will be reaping the rewards.  Patiently shop, don’t rush it! When you see something on you’re list at a great price (please help yourself to it).                                                                              

The underlining REASON, why people tend to buy something and regret later, is because they weren’t taking their time. RIGHT TIMING MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE… So if you see that sale, and think there’s something on your list there, go ahead (but think twice about the timing, before you) buy it.

                                             

4. So you SEE SOMETHING YOU ABSOLutelY, can’t live without!!  Breath in, RELAX, Breath out! Chances are, you won’t need to break the bank, if you know you have a list – so PLEASE, stick to it.  

But, without saying, exceptions can be made, only if the TIMING is right. 

                                               

Costa Blanca Sales?!!!

Dear World,

This week was a great week, with the arrival of a wonderfully awesome 50% of entire store sale!! Now that’s what i call a real bargain!

Where? Costa Blanca

When? Friday of last week to Wednesday (yesterday)

What? I scored a great price on a pair of Cuff laced up wedge booties!! Yay!

So the original price was $59.50 – so lets say $60 bucks. And i got them for $33, taxes included because i live in Canada.

What was even better was i was able to obtain some exclusive ‘friends and family event’ tickets for 50% of entire store.

This can only be given to those with the ticket, and thanks to the great cashiers i met (It’s important to have a good interaction with sales associates and such because they can help you score more on sales!), i obtained a whole bunch of them!

Just who to give them to…

Confessions of a Shopaholic?!

Dear World,

Welcome to the everyday world of a not so shopaholic. I’m a bargainholic, so unless there’s a sale on this fabulous stilettos, count me out.

Each Week I will strive to post all the new and sweet bargains i encounter along the way, and perhaps give some tips on how to bargain hunt!

Happy Bargaining,

Love Buniheart
