How to make shopping list?

We all love shopping specially women. When we need something, we go to the market for purchasing or buy online. If you want to make sure that you can't miss something then you make a list of items. 

We all know this list out things, a child can do that but here i am not talking just this. Here i want to put your attention over habits of purchasing. When you go to the market to buy your listed things but at the end of shopping you come at home with more thing than you planned to buy. This happens often with all of us. We buy some products because of advertisement what we see over and over. 

Our mind has tendency to accept the fact which we listen, watch or speak repeatedly. This fact use by advertisers against us.When we see same product or item over and over everywhere, we think that it is in trend and our mind feel "it is necessary". So we buy that but in reality that thing may not be necessary for us. 

More spend doesn't mean good living standard. Even you have less things, you can live a healthy life without hurdles. The point is that all the things and products which we use, are they actually good for us or they just pretend to be helpful? For example some shampoo or skin care products what we use, have you ever thought, do your skin actually need these? may be some of the products you don't need at all and we just use them because everybody does and this become like habit to you. Like i used oil for my hair for long time but after some incident turned out i found that my hairs don't need oil at all because my hairs produce natural oil itself more than normal.

Beside skin care products many of the things in home like a glass cleaner, we think,we need it because in some Ad we figure out that this is the only way to clean our glasses. But glasses can easily clean with water and news paper or vinegar.

I am not saying that you have to figure out every alternative of all products which you are using. My point is before we buy something, some reasonable analysis would be wise because you spend your money in excess may be one or two time that is okay  but if you take this as habit in long time you are wasting your money. You should take a look on reviews of new products what you want to buy and use, you can check youtube videos or site's customers reviews or online article about that.

For better shopping...  

These are the steps you should follow when you make shopping list:-

1. My advise here to think logically when you decide to purchase. Always make a list.
2. Now see how you can avoid that listed products even you have enough money. Then your mind will try to think their alternatives. After this research some items will be cut out from the list and you will have a short list.
3. In shorted list lets take another look, think some alternatives which you have to buy but at lesser cost and also fit with your need.
4. Now time to write down all resources from which you can buy them. You will have some trusted sites and some known stores, check the price of same product through all of them and compare the prices. 
5. Next is consider seasonal offer or discounts. Some time without considering seasonal offer we buy before sale then do regret. So always check upcoming festival sale or holidays offers and try to take benefits of them. Write all the best prices and places to buy beside the items.          

In making this you can use my planning method from previous post "How to plan your dream", can read by link given.

Now you will have final List with best prices and best places to buy. With all these steps you can save plenty of money.

Here you can question that Is this difficult to buy things from different places? how can we manage to go different places?

My advise here if you make this list once in month, you can do these things for upcoming month or for week or half month or 2 month whatever you feel good about. By this whenever you go outside for another business of yours with that you can buy your items from that area which you planned to buy from that area.

So this organised way would  take your some extra effort but will worth it when you would save money from this. So happy shopping :-)
