so today we are back for the third
episode Edda kated – Financial Literacy
Month with the first episode we did was
the most important quality needed to be
financially independent second one was
how to fix the income problem that most
people have in America and today I want
to talk about the secrets of how to be a
smarter shopper because at the end of
the day most of us are shopping
regularly what could what good habits
can we create I mean many times people
will make a lot of money but they still
don’t have a lot of money left at the
end of the day is because they have bad
spending habits so I have 20 secrets
that I want to cover but today I’m only
going to cover five of them with you and
the other 15 I’ll let you know you can
get your hands on them if you want to
learn more about them first one I want
to cover with you today is this I think
today most of us like to go to movies
my suggestion is skip the movie theater
wait for the movie to come on DVDs 20
years ago
when a movie would come out it would
many times take 6 to 9 months sometimes
12 months but the move for the movie to
make it out on VHS which made sense for
people to go see the movie right off too
bad because most people didn’t want to
wait 9 months today it usually takes a
month two months three months for the
movie to be on DVD now you may say well
I like the whole experience look you can
go to the 99-cent store get the popcorn
I like watching a movie with my popcorn
and my Slurpee if you know what I’m
talking about my Icee may be a Coke or
or cherry would be great but go to your
99-cent store or discount store buy a
box of popcorn on the drive home stop by
7-eleven get yourself a Slurpee go home
watch your movie you’ll get a similar
experience except it’s not gonna cost
you $80 it’ll cost you $7 to watch the
same exact where we saved you a ton of
money next point I want to cover with
you is this rent thinks you only use few
times to up and I see people buying jet
skis and they spent $7,000 on it yet
they only use it a handful of times well
it’s not a work using it a handful of
times and buying it while you can rent
and many times save yourself thousands
of dollars from heaven abide and then
fixing it and then taking it somewhere
need to buy a transportation all these
other things you’ll save yourself a lot
of money next point
flights are cheaper if you book them 21
days advance
most of us notice however do you know
the most cheapest day for flights for
you to buy the day that the travel
agencies struggle the most are Tuesdays
and Wednesdays and those are the two
typical days that they give the biggest
discount so if you’re going to book a
flight check flights on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays they’re typically much
cheaper than the rest of the days next
point we are living on an Internet
Internet Society which means malls have
turned into displays where you just go
there to see something and then whatever
you like that you want to purchase you
can typically go on overstock.com eBay
and Craigslist and find yourself paying
50 percent cheaper than you would have
if you would have bought it from the
mall especially books you can see a book
at Barnes & Noble for $27 and go to
Amazon and buy for $2.99 you save
yourself twenty to twenty four dollars
and the last one I want to cover with
you today is when you want to make a big
purchase it may be a car or something
else right when you see it the first
time you may say I really like this car
I really like this one thing I want to
PI this big piece of furniture or this
big screen whatever it may be see it ten
times before you buy it
if the ten times you see it you still
like it that bad then find a way to pick
it up if it makes sense but what I’ve
experienced over time is typically when
I see two something when I see something
I like the first time by the tenth time
I no longer wanted I’ve lost interest in
it so there’s no need for me to buy it
and I saved myself a ton of money so
