318 // Shopping tips to save you BIG when decorating your home

Hey friend!

Last week I shared WHERE I shop, today...I'm sharing HOW I shop. I'm just like you - living on a budget trying to make my pennies stretch from month to month, while being fiscally responsible! Doing so doesn't mean that I solely rely on shopping second hand, though if you've been around for a while, you know that is one of my favorite strategies for curating my home on a budget!!

My top 5 tips for HOW to shop on a budget:

1. Shop the sales. This may seem obvious, but I'm talking the bigger sales - the holiday sales, the yearly or bi-yearly sales that are brand or store specific.

2. Use a cash back app. One of my favorites. Check your credit cards and stores you already buy from. Shop at Target? They have a cash back app!

3. Buy second hand. Not only does this allow you to save money, but when done in conjunction with truly knowing your aesthetic, allows you to be specific with items that match your style!!!

4. Price matching. Does your favorite home decor store offer price matching? Check. I know Target does - even with online prices from their own stores.

5. Don't buy everything at once. Not only will you spend more money than you need, but you'll likely have a home that looks like it's been decorated from a Target museum, lacking the curation that happens over a period of time.
