As Black Friday quickly approaches, many of us are saving our pennies and limiting our purchases until the big day comes along. While black Friday is certainly a great time to shop for some top tech gadgets and electrical equipment, there are still plenty of ways you can bag yourself a few bargains in the meantime. Whether you’re looking to cut down your spends before Christmas or you’re after guilt free ways to treat yourself, take a look at these top bargain hunting tips.
Shop fast fashion
There are lots of fast fashion retailers out there that give you the chance to buy stylish clothing at a lower price than you would elsewhere. Using google shopping is a good tool for finding affordable clothing, as you can alter the price in accordance with what you’re willing to spend. If you’re doing some early christmas shopping, there’s lots of great online retailers that offer items such as cheap slippers for the perfect stocking fillers.
Look for voucher codes
If you’re serious about finding a few bargains every now and again, it’s worth dedicating some time towards scouring the internet for any voucher codes you could benefit from. There’s a variety of websites that let you see what current voucher codes there are, and sign up for updates when new offers become available. For an even easier way to find deals, you can install the chrome extension ‘Honey’, which searches the internet for discount codes, promotions and free shipping deals for the site you’re on.
Buy second hand
When all else fails, don’t forget you can always grab some cheap items when shopping second hand. While Ebay remains a big contender in the marketplace world, apps like Depop and Shpock are growing in popularity and even give users the option to meet the seller to pick up an item rather than paying for shipping. Whenever you’re out and about in a town centre or shopping area, always try and pop into charity shops. While you might not hit the jackpot every time, you’d be surprised the things you can find!
Compare prices
Price comparison is something that takes some research and prep but definitely pays off in the long run. Websites like My Supermarket are really handy for saving money on your weekly shopping bill. Before you head to your local supermarket, run your shopping list through this site and check which store is selling each item for the lowest price. For things like mortgages and car insurance, sites such as Money Expert compare markets from all over the UK, providing you with information on how to get the best value for your money.
