See the best tips for saving money on Christmas shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

At the end of November, people start to think more about Christmas shopping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time of year, it is very common to get excited about parties, family gatherings, gifts, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to avoid ending 2021 in the red and starting 2022 in debt, you need to be cautious. This means that it is important to be careful with your spending so as not to lose control of your finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, the possibility of going over budget and getting into debt at the end of the year is relatively high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don't worry! In this article, we'll give you several tips to help you save money on your Christmas shopping and celebrate this date with much more peace of mind. Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Know exactly how much you can spend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before using all your thirteenth salary on Christmas shopping, plan your expenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems obvious, but it is precisely in this part that many people make mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't set a limit, you may lose control of how much you spend on gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the first step is to know exactly how much you can spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumption, when done consciously, is a good thing. It is natural that part of your money, especially at the end of the year, will be used to make purchases and invest in your well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be careful not to let the holiday season take all your money away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Do research before you buy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people are too lazy to compare prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the truth is that if you don't do this, you'll end up spending a lot more money. That's why researching prices is essential for anyone planning to do their Christmas shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just do a test: search on Google for the price of a product you want to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the results, the same product will appear with very different prices (both for the item value and shipping).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it is also worth searching in physical stores. This way, you increase the chances of getting good discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how much you love a product, you don\u2019t have to buy it right away. Think about whether it\u2019s something you really need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the answer is yes, do some research, both in stores in your city and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you research, the more you will save!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. Beware of promotions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone likes to buy products on sale, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, there are times when they can be very advantageous. However, promotions can also encourage you to spend more than you really need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are a good deal when you buy things you really need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, let's say you've been researching the price of a table for your living room for a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you do your research again, you discover that the product you want so much is on sale at a certain store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, it is definitely worth making the purchase. After all, it is something you really need and want to acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you have the habit of buying products JUST because they are on sale, without being sure that you will actually use them, you are actually spending money unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cita\u00e7\u00e3o<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Use websites with cashback<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to do some Christmas shopping, you need to know about some Cashback platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after all, what is this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cash back <\/a><\/strong>It is a word that comes from English and literally means \u201cmoney back\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a reward program that some stores, companies and websites offer to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It emerged in the United States in the 1980s, created by some credit card operators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, it works in a similar way. The difference is that now, there are cashback platforms and apps that are not always linked to a card (although some credit cards offer this benefit to their customers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It works like this: when you make a purchase, you receive back part of the amount you spent. You can redeem this amount to your account or use it to make new purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the cashback applications and tools, we can mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Meliuz<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Mycashback<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Mooba<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Picpay (although it is a digital wallet, it offers cashback on some purchases)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

5. Don't leave it until the last minute<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Product prices tend to increase with the arrival of Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, it is best to always make purchases in advance. This way, you will find better prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, around the 25th, the queues become longer and the variety of products decreases considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, you will take longer to shop, find fewer products and, worst of all, pay more for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

6. Ask for discounts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't be shy about asking for discounts!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you make purchases in cash, it will be even easier to negotiate prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you buy an item for R$ 200 and get a 5% discount when paying in cash, you will save R$ 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not seem like much, but it's extra money that will stay in your pocket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

7. Use your credit card with caution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A credit card, when used correctly, becomes an ally in your financial life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it makes shopping much more practical and also helps you get discounts in certain stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But be careful before using yours credit card.<\/a><\/strong>  Be aware of how much you can spend (remember the maximum amount established for purchases) and make sure you will be able to pay the bill the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the your credit card<\/a> consciously. This way, it becomes easier to start 2022 debt-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know the best ways to save on your Christmas shopping and even how to earn money back (with cashback platforms).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a plan, set a maximum amount for spending and do a lot of research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
