There are a few types of shoppers. Shoppers that use shopping as a past time, a hobby. There are shoppers that love a bargain and get a rush on a good deal. There are shoppers that get in and get out because they can’t stand to be in a store longer than necessary. And there are shoppers that don’t know what to buy and leave empty handed because they’re too overwhelmed. No matter what kind of shopper you are, I bet you can learn a thing or two on how to shop smartly.
Take Inventory of Your Closet
Before you even step foot in a store, you must take inventory of your closet. Open up those closet doors and go through your clothes, one by one. Look at what you have. Look at the colors you like to wear. Look at what you need. If you really want to do it right, then you should completely clean out your closet. You can learn how HERE!
Take a List

Ask Yourself Questions
