10 Money-saving Tips That Don’t Work

Always Choosing the Lowest Price

Always Choosing the Cheapest Price TagBuy cheap, buy twice. If you buy a screwdriver set for $1 at a dollar store, or get your shoes for a few bucks at a flea market stall, chances are you’ll be buying them again real soon. Cheaply made, poor-quality items may save you a few bucks in the short term, but you’ll only have to pay more later to replace them. And if you replace them with more cheap junk, you’ll be repeating the cycle. The only time this is not true is when you’re buying generic brands in the grocery store—you’re often getting the same product that’s in the brand-name packaging. If you’re thinking about thrift stop shopping, think again about buying these 10 items at the thrift store.
