Advantages: save money

Disadvantages: none

Shopping eh? Can be a hassle to find what you want, here are a few of my tips on not only how to makes things for fun, but also cheaper!

Tip number 1: Don't bother getting high cost branded items, honestly, they are exactly the same as the generic or discount brand items, only in different packaging. Often, they are even made by the same people in the same factory! For example, Tesco baked beans are made by heinz, but obviously hienz don't but their logo on it, because if they did, everyone would buy them instead of hienz beans!

Tip number 2: Get some internet info on what it is you are trying to buy. On high priced purchases (e.g. a computer) often you can "haggle" the price down if you have internet print offs of cheaper or better laptops, and use them as baragining tools.

Tip number 3:
You can get food items such as bread and so on cheaper, if you wait for them to get close to the sell by date before buying them. There is nothing wrong with them, and so long as you either eat or freeze them quickly, its fine

Summary: good way to save money
