Becoming a smart shopper is a great way to reducing your spending without having to make major reductions in your lifestyle. Hi, I am Andy Mattingly and in today’s SaveItUp Moment I am going to give your five strategies to become a smarter shopper.

Look for coupons whether you are shopping online or going to a store. Many stores will even send you coupons if you sign up for their email or text alerts.

Use all discounts available based on your situation. If you have a travel membership, belong to AARP, meet the requirements for being a senior, student or first responder, ask and use for those discounts everywhere you shop and eat.

For larger ticket items, ask for a price reduction or for them to match a competitor’s offer. And, also watch the price of these items after you purchase them. Many stores will lower your price if it is within 14 days of your purchase.

Wait for item to go on sale if there is something you are looking to purchase. This is often the best way to save the most money. This is true for clothes to outdoor furniture and even appliances. Waiting for sales might take a few months but will be well worth it.

Compare prices at 3 or more stores is another strategy that will likely save you money if you practice it all of the time. Comparison shopping on everything you purchase can net real savings if you are committed to regularly checking prices.
