TIPical Mary Ellen host Mary Ellen Pinkham shares a few shopping tips.
- Do not purchase things that are on sale unless you intended to buy it in the first place.
- Do not buy things that you think you will fit into later.
- Take a canvas bag with you to use as your shopping bag.
- When you find something you love, buy more than one, in case they get discontinued.
- Keep a notebook with you to write down what you want to buy later.
- Walk with ankle weights as you shop.
- Take along a video game with you if you bring your child with you.
- Carry a backpack rather than a purse.
