Do you prefer to wait for a sale on Amazon or anywhere or just buy what you wish without any wait?

I am getting really conscious about inflation. Yesterday, I went to buy a pack of chips and was surprised at how small it has become for 10 INR.

I am going to cut down costs on my online shopping, Cardbury, and online subscriptions from now on.

What are you cutting costs on?

I was never a big spender, so I only buy something if I really need it. Sometimes I wait for sales.

Me too. We bought a washing machine from Amazon. We got it for 32,500 with credit card. But initially it was for 37,500 before the sale. Benefited us much more.🙂I have decided to buy in sales only. This much of profit with cash backs benefits from any angle possible.

Yup, that made a big difference. I love when that happens!
Yes that sounds like a good decision.

Thanks for the MHO.

I usually just buy whatever. My mom waits for sales though.

Damn, you are so lucky. Spend as much as you want now. I also spent around $300 on my shirts and shoes in a month. Not to forget the hotel expenditure every week when I was in 1st year of engineering.
I am in 4th year now. Job and all. Post graduation and all. I have become very price-conscious now. And am in the process of doing it.
You change. At least by some degree.

if I buy something is because I need it, and if I need it I just get it... lol

I'm no spender, I am saver... so when there is something I want, I just get it as well, without worrying about price tags

but again, I do not do it often... so that, in a way, allows me to afford certain things, for example, as of recently, I needed a new device and I could have spend over 1000 dollars on one BUT, I saw one for just 100 bucks that would work just the same and work more than well enough too

want versus need... in theory I spent 100 dollars on something I needed, so know I could spend 900 bucks on something, if I really wanted it, lol...

I already live a fairly frugal lifestyle so thre are not many corners to cut.

If there's something I want, I usually monitor it for anywhere between 6 to 10 months. I watch the price trends and I figure out when is the best time to strike. And then I snatch it up (IF the price is acceptable to me. Otherwise, I walk away.)

[Asker]

Are you speaking of the cash market?

[Jamie05rhs]

@The_Shadow_Dweller I'm referring to the retail market.

[Asker]

Oh you are talking about the discounts on products! After 3 months are over and still, the product is not sold, if. That product goes in discount. And it goes on increasing till 70% I think.

[Jamie05rhs]

@The_Shadow_Dweller Yeah.
