Thanks to these tips we’ll leave you below, you should be able to buy everything you want or need in a more practical and safe way.

Make a list

One of the most common situations during sales is impulse buying. For this reason, it is advisable to create a list of the products in advance that we want to acquire during the sales period.

Beware of discounts

Make sure that at the time of purchase, both in a physical store and online, the original price of the product accompanies the discounted price. Also, make sure you can identify the discount being applied to the product.

Keep track of products

Products offered by retailers during the sales season must have been previously on offer in the store for at least one month prior. In addition, the quality of these products must be the same as before they were discounted.

Prepare the shopping cart

When shopping online, either through the retailer’s own application or on its website, it is advisable to have the shopping cart prepared in advance. Only place the products you want to buy during the sales before they are discounted. In this way, when the sales start, you only have to enter the website or application and make the purchase of all the discounted items.

Keep your receipt

Once the purchase of any product has been made it is advisable to keep your purchase receipt in case you need to return or exchange the product in the future within a period of time determined by the retailer. However, even if an item is in good condition, not all companies are required to make a return or exchange. Therefore, ask or check the rules to find out in advance if the merchant will allow future returns on its products.

Create your closet

These sales are the perfect time to get those items of clothing that we have liked during the season and can now be purchased for a lower price. However, it is best to buy basic clothes which can be combined in different ways and that you can use on many occasions, such as a suit jacket in a neutral color like gray or black, a coat or jeans. In this way, you will be building a closet that you can use at any time.
