Below is information about some noteworthy money-saving tips for everyone when shopping, compiled from the Money Advice Service – a website specializing in personal finance advice established by the British Government – and the BBC channel.
Expense diary
To start saving, the best way to keep an eye on what makes you spend the most money is to create a personal budget and expense diary.
Balance emotions and needs when shopping
Make a list of the things you already have and the things you need to buy before going shopping to estimate the amount to be spent.
This will help you avoid the situation of “over” buying expensive items or unintentionally “swinging over the forehead”, buying unnecessary items when you can’t control your emotions while shopping.
Be careful with “special promotions”
The manufacturers all spend a considerable amount of money researching customer psychology, how to “pull your wallet out” with “flying” introductions. Buying special promotions like “20,000 – three pieces” or “buy 2 get 1 free” seems to be a good way to save money, but it’s not always like that. 70% of customers will buy more than planned if there is a discount program.
Therefore, calculate the price again and compare it with the remaining useful life of the product or with your actual needs before choosing to buy promotional items is necessary.
Always compare prices
Some stores advertise lower prices than other stores. So, try to walk around the shops if you want to save your daily expenses. Avoid small convenience stores because the prices of items there may be more expensive.
If you are about to buy a valuable item, compare its price at many different places like stores, on the street, on online shopping sites… Buying online is sometimes cheaper but the limitation is that you cannot try them before buying, and sometimes the packaging and shipping fees are also quite high.
Choose outlet stores
Outlet stores are great places to buy a variety of products at low prices. Instead of choosing retail stores with a diverse range of brands in the same product line, you can try outlet stores – places that only sell one brand or products produced by the same company. Outlet stores offer you many deals although sometimes a new item you are looking to buy may not be available there. 
Check reviews before buying
Take a few minutes to read customer reviews and expert comments on products, especially household and electronic items that you intend to buy. Most online shopping websites have customer reviews section to help you choose the most suitable products for your needs and budget.
Subscribe to receive promotion notifications
Quite a few online shopping websites have an email sending mode about weekly or monthly promotions to customers. Some stores or restaurants also give vouchers when you subscribe to their weekly newsletter or follow their social media pages like Facebook or Twitter.
Take advantage of this to keep up to date with information about your favorite brands and get products at good prices.
Don’t shop while hungry
According to the experience of many people, especially women, shopping on an empty stomach will make you put too much food in your basket. Therefore, BBC advises you not to go grocery shopping when you are hungry.
