Christmas is in the air and days to count before Christmas Day. Many of us are busy in shopping at the Mall, Tiyage, Bazaar and other discounted stores, to buy some gifts for our families, friends, and love ones. Some of us have prepared lists of food for Christmas day and they do an early shopping for their own inconvenience and while the prices is yet up. But before this shopping galore, here's my time saving tips for the shoppers out there!:
1. BRING SHOPPING BAGS
Keep your holiday haul in one shopping bag that you can sling over your shoulder to keep your hands free for the next stall; this will also ensure that you don't forget any packages along the way.
2. BRING CRACKERS AND WATER
Be sure, you take this in your bag so that your tummy will not get hungry and you wont dizzy!.
3. BRING CASH AND SOME COINS
While some big bazaars offer credit card payments, bringing cash to bazaar/mall/tiyage is better. You'll be able to set a budget before you enter at bazaar and this will help you curb impulse buys since your funds are limited.
4. BRING LIST
If you're going holiday shopping at Bazaar/Mall/Tiyage or daily routine shopping, have your Christmas list ready -- this will help you stick to your budget and will prevent you from buying a cute knickknack to file under the "someone's gonna want this on my list" pile.
5. DRESS COMFORTABLY
Expect walking and walking and more walking. Keep your main bag easy to reach and lightweight and make sure to dress comfortably in shoes made for walking and cool clothes that can help you beat the heat of the swelling crowd.
6. STRIKE A BARGAIN
Bazaar/Tiyage owners are more than willing to give you a good deal on the spot, so you'll be able to put your haggling skills to the test. Most stalls offer group discounts so look for stalls that have items for several recipients on your list.
******* HAPPY SHOPPING!******
