How to save money on shopping trips. How to easily and effectively save on food - tips for the right purchase How to save on food in a crisis
Hello, friends!
Today I want to write about how to save on purchases in online stores, and not only save, but even earn. This article can be considered an addition to the previous one on how to make money on affiliate programs. In it, I talked mainly about affiliate programs for information products, but many online stores that sell physical goods also offer partnerships.
He introduced me to this method of earning E. Vergus, which I have already mentioned more than once in my articles.
Online store owners use a variety of methods to attract customers. One of them is the so-called cashbacks. What it is? This term is understood as the return of a part of the purchase price to increase customer loyalty.
To get such a cashback, you need to use a special service. This is a service. To start saving on your purchases and earn on others, you just need to register on this resource and go to stores through it. The service has already cooperated with almost a thousand of the most famous stores.
The time of Christmas sales will come soon, when most stores provide significant discounts on their products, but an additional discount in the form of cashback will not hurt anyone. Thus, using store discounts and the capabilities of the Lety Shops service, you can get significant savings.
Registration in the Lety Shops service
But I said that with the help of cashbacks you can not only save, but also earn. How to do it. To do this, the Lety Shops service has an affiliate program. By inviting customers to register in it, you get the opportunity to receive a certain percentage of their purchases.
So, how to work with Lety Shops?
As you can see, everything is very simple. Using the service, you can now save on online purchases and still earn money at the same time.
See you soon!
It's not about buying less.
This post will deal with the question of how to buy the goods we need cheaper, that is, at discounts.
But first, let's understand the concepts what is saving for me but different people have their own idea of it.
Here, I once talked with a friend and she told me that she bought some goods for 50 UAH cheaper. In general, it's great - 50 UAH is also a savings. But when I found out that she spent a whole day with a ponytail on this - she monitored different sites, searched, compared, corresponded with the support service and many other crap. My eyes widened.
For me, this is not saving for sure ... Spending a day of your life to save 50 UAH - I would say that this is a dubious saving.
That's why when it comes talking about saving money whatever it is For me there are 2 key factors:
- money
- time.
First, I look at the discount, then I figure out how much extra time I will spend, or maybe even save it, and whether the "skin is worth it."
There is still one catch in discounts that you don’t need to be led to - if there are discounts, then I will buy more and a lot of things - “Schaub Bulo”.
Here we need to soberly assess whether we need it.
The well-known fact that you can’t go to the store on an empty stomach also works. Oh, got caught on this more than once. And, most importantly, my husband and I say to each other - "We are hungry, we do not adequately estimate the volumes" ... But we still manage to buy more than we need when we are hungry.
Well, the list, of course, helps out - it is the main one. Usually, when we go to a supermarket with a list, we clearly know what we want and what we need.
How to save on purchases and find out about discounts in a few clicks
Now let's talk about discounts in supermarkets, pharmacies and other stores.
How them fast analyze(save time) and then choose the ones we want discount products (save money).
In this post, I will tell you how to do this on a specific site and show our example of using this feature.
I have already told you about various coupon sites with which you can save on entertainment and travel, shared what is the catch of such coupons.
This site is - "Skidochnik".
Only it contains information from various coupon sites, as well as supermarket promotions and sales of online stores. This way you can browse by topic and find the offers you need in one place.
It was clear to me - you find the right discount and buy a product or service via the Internet.
Didn't quite understand how useful sections of supermarkets and information about discounts. Anyway, I buy products in the supermarket, I'll look there.
Until it just dawned on me.
Wow, how have I not seen the benefits before. It's really possible save money and time.
For example, next to a lot there are several supermarkets (I specifically have 4) at a plus-minute distance of 2-4 blocks from each other. In some we buy more often, and in some less often.
Now, I can access the site. Quickly - in a few minutes to view discounts and whether there is what we need for discounts, until what day the discount is and plan the purchase.
And now I will show how it works on the example of our recent purchases.
We go to the section where we show discounts in supermarkets.
I have chosen Kyiv, and you can choose another city.
By the way, I want to say that we now live in Irpen - it's near Kiev. But discounts in supermarkets coincided with those in Kyiv.
Or choose service.
In my case, I looked at discounts in supermarkets. But there are not only supermarkets.
Current offers can be found on the website.
It is very convenient that when choosing a specific service, immediately shows the map Where in the city is he located? I will show the screen later when I share information about how this site can be useful when traveling.
What did not like
I can’t say that I didn’t like it directly :) Most likely it would be convenient if there was such an option.
I missed at least a couple of lines of product description. Especially in situations where it plays a decisive role.
For example, I looked pasta "Chumak". But it is not clear whether this is ordinary vermicelli or durum wheat.
Maybe a specialist can determine by eye, but I do not belong to them. We buy vermicelli not so often and different brands.
Although to be honest, this is not a fundamental issue. After all, I don’t buy it via the Internet, but in the store when buying, I can always see what’s what.
How to save money on shopping while traveling
This question will concern travel in Ukraine, because the site provides information on services in different cities of Ukraine.
This is especially true for those who organize their own trips on your own and wants to make them more budget-friendly.
See you soon on our blog pages. about travel and leisure!
Hello dear reader!
A woman with cancer struggled with a financial institution that tried to deprive her of her apartment.
The fight ended with a victory over Sberbank. Svetlana turned to the public for help, and people took her side.
This is a great example proving that when we are together we are a real force! The power that conquers greed, hypocrisy and greed!
Again about Sberbank
Today I want to talk about Sberbank again. But in a different context. As they say, it's not entirely bad. Sometimes not bad. Even more.
A couple of days ago I went to the store. I bought milk, cottage cheese, condensed milk, sour cream, cookies. I specifically list all this. Now you will understand why. Yes, I also bought for our little princess, who turned 11 months old in September, multi-cereal porridge and two purees: chicken and turkey.
By the way, when she was smaller, she didn’t want to eat at all, and we distracted her and fed her.
In general, I scored everything. I go to the checkout (an ordinary checkout, not), “punching” the goods, paying. I'm leaving.
Actually, that's all I wanted to talk about. See you soon!
Just kidding! So, for all these products I paid ... 1 ruble. That's exactly how much: 1 ruble. Ordinary Russian ruble. Modern, not royal coinage.
The total cost of the products that I wrote about above amounted to 517 rubles 20 kopecks. But I paid exactly 1 ruble for them.
How did I manage to save so much? And I saved money with the help of the bonus program. It is called "Thank you from Sberbank."
How it works
How to save on purchases with the help of Sberbank? How it works? Now I will tell you using the example of the Izhtrading trading network.
When I pay in stores with a Sberbank card, I accumulate bonus points. Upon reaching 500 bonuses, I can pay for the purchase with them. There is only one condition: the purchase amount must exceed 500 rubles.
The main thing is that the store participates in the Sberbank program. If so, then you get your bonuses with every purchase. It doesn't matter what you buy - sausage or shoes - points are accumulated. You receive a check, which indicates how many points you had and how much you have now.
If you have accumulated 500 bonuses and the purchase amount exceeds 500 rubles, you can pay with bonuses.
In this case, 1 ruble is debited from your card. This is a mandatory payment. That is, at least 1 ruble - in any case.
On practice
How are points redeemed on purchases? How many are written off? Let's take a look at practice.
Example #1. The cost of your purchase is 510 rubles and the number of bonuses is also 510. In this case, 509 rubles are deducted from your bonus account, and 1 ruble from your card. As a result, you have 1 bonus left, and with each next purchase they are credited again.
Regarding the bonuses. Their size varies depending on the partner - the store that participates in the program. Today I bought bread, milk, sour cream and cheese for 168 rubles 60 kopecks. For this, 2.79 bonuses were awarded, that is, 1.65% of the purchase amount.
Example #2. You collected goods for 610 rubles, and you have 510 bonuses. Then all 510 points are debited from your bonus account, and the balance of 100 rubles is debited from your card.
By the way, upon reaching 500 bonuses, you can not spend them, but continue to save. Honestly, I don't see much point in that.
Actually, that's all for now. That's how I went to the store the other day and merchandise for 1 ruble.
Do you know about the bonus program "Thank you from Sberbank"? Do you participate in it? What is your opinion about this?
Hello everyone! In the yard, as they say, the crisis and it is not known how long it will last. The dollar jumps like a goat, back and forth, and sometimes it is not known what will happen next with prices and the country's economy as a whole. Some went bankrupt, others, on the contrary, got rich. But most Russians have experienced the negative effects of various sanctions and economic instability. Economy has become a priority. Prices are rising, and salaries, benefits and pensions are in no hurry. And then there's New Year's Eve. An event that requires no small investment. You need to buy gifts, set the table, and if there are also children, then this is generally a pipets! A festive costume for a matinee, gifts, I want this, I want that ... In general, you understand me. And today I will share with you tips on how to save money on purchases.
Although, this question worried, probably, mankind always. Since the advent of the first money to the present day. The level of well-being of people is different. Some people need them more, some less. But for everyone, the main priority is saving.
I started thinking about it as a teenager, when I earned my first 5 or 6 thousand in a labor camp. How proud I was, you have no idea. At the age of 15, I felt like an adult, independent and ready to move mountains. How funny it is for me to remember this today! But even at that time, it was very important for me how I would spend the money I earned. Value was prioritized. That is, a waste of money is not for me. I decided that there would be no chewing gum, chocolates, cosmetics, baubles and other uselessness. After thinking well and consulting with my mother, together we decided to purchase a series of educational children's books. Then I was very fond of reading encyclopedias, in other matters, now I also do not mind.
Later, already in my student years, when the budget was limited, my roommates and I managed to live on 500 (at that time) rubles for a week. When, like the rest of the students, they were swollen with hunger. This is how my journey of deliberate and conscious spending of money began.
“I went for some sausage, and left the store with two large packages.” Every woman, and maybe a man, has seen himself in this situation more than once. Modern marketers know their business in full, they are very smart and cunning. Thanks to various professional tricks, they are able to force you to buy even the thing that is absolutely not needed. And this can happen at an unconscious level for you. The design of the store, communication with the seller, standard attention-grabbing phrases, large signs - all this works for sellers. In a word, they are hunters, and we, with our wallets, are victims.
Tricks that will save you from rash purchases or how to save money on purchases
And so, let's move on to the tips, if you put them into practice, it will be quite easy to save a decent amount of money. In addition, they are suitable for shopping for groceries, clothes, household goods and so on.
Menu planning and listing
Why do we buy products? To eat. What do we eat? Dishes we cook. How do you know what to cook? . Planning is a powerful tool for saving money in all areas of activity, including purchases. Make a list of meals by day of the week. On a separate piece of paper, write down the items you need. You can take into account not only the amount of the recipe ingredients themselves, but also fruits, snacks, drinks. This way you will know approximately how much money you need.
Make a list before every trip to the store. Whether it is finishing materials for repairs, household chemicals, cosmetics or any other category of goods. You definitely won't forget anything. The main thing is to follow the list clearly and steadily, which will save you from reckless spending of money and unexpected desires. By the way, there is another way. If suddenly you still really want to buy spontaneously, then postpone the purchase until the next day. Perhaps, having slept, you will change your mind, and the desire will disappear by itself. Well, if the thing is really important, then you can buy it at any time.
Take a small amount of money
By making a list, you will roughly know how much money you need. Starting from here, take the required number of banknotes. Many people have bank cards. As a rule, quite large amounts lie on them, for example, salaries, pensions. If you want to save money - leave the card at home, take cash with you. Then the temptation of mindless shopping will pass.
Go shopping alone
Knowledgeable financial experts often advise shopping alone. This is justified by the fact that the rest of the family may like some product, and he wants to buy it. For sure, this item will be unplanned.
Don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach
You should know that hungry eyes are the enemy of your wallet. We are able to buy a lot of harmful, unnecessary things just because the stomach is empty and our mind turns off at the sight of a juicy smoked piece of meat that you basically don’t eat. And they bought it only because they were hungry, like a beast.
Bulk purchases
I recently got used to buying clothes from a wholesale supplier. Basically, these are the most necessary things, for example, socks, underwear (both men's and women's), T-shirts, tights, scarves, t-shirts, tops, shorts. I prefer to examine the rest of the clothes, try them on and feel them. I do most of my bulk shopping online. But if you have a warehouse in the city, then do not miss the opportunity, visit and see their range. It is much more profitable to buy more clothes at lower prices.
Promo codes and discounts
This is a great opportunity to save a lot of money. Basically, discounts are made before the holidays or during the off-season. I often buy winter boots in the spring, although there is less choice, but you can always find a suitable option without any problems. And I often find promotional codes on the Internet through search engines. I recently learned about such services that return a certain percentage of online purchases. One of these sites is SKIDKA.ru. The site has a huge selection of stores, among which, I am sure, you will find yours.
Don't buy what you can make yourself
Recently, needlework has been developing very strongly. In the era of the Internet, craftswomen and jack-of-all-trades share their products and creativity. This cannot but rejoice. The price of handmade goods is very high. But sometimes you really want to have a watch with decoupage, a knitted scarf, a bouquet of polymer clay roses or just a beautiful box. In this case, I'm trying to do with my own hands what I need. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but it only encourages me to learn the craft. There is experience, and I still achieve my goal. And I advise you to develop. If there is a desire, then everything will work out.
For today I will finish. In general, there are many ways to save personal finances. And if you have something to tell, share your experience in the comments. I will be glad to any of your advice.
