How to Save Money when Shopping For Kids

With children, the expenses increase exponentially. We are always wanting to fulfil our child’s needs and leave no stone unturned in getting things they wish for. But this often burns a hole in our pocket. Many couples start to take up austerity measures once they have kids. But it can be said that though planning and saving is a must, you can still learn not to spend unnecessarily for your children and save more money than you imagined. Here are five tips which are sensible and easy to follow:

1.Do not buy very expensive and branded clothes: It has to be taken note that kids grow very fast, and their clothes sized keep changing. It is advisable not to buy very expensive clothes for them as they outgrow very quickly and if they already have too many clothes they hardly wear them few times.

2.Don’t splurge unnecessarily: Nowadays even accessories for kids are very expensive. And the kids always want something or the other. Don’t splurge in things which have very less considerable value. Teach them to value things they already have and make them take good care of their stuff.

3.Buy thoughtful gifts: Children love gifts. Always buy gifts that are useful for them where they can learn something out of the gifts. Invest in good books rather than buying expensive stuffed toys all the time.

4.You also need to respect your money: Yes, children are our weakness. We often tend to feel like getting them something. But it is advisable not to buy anything for them sometimes so that it does not become a habit for them to keep asking for gifts again and again.

5.Spend time not money: This is common nuisance nowadays. People do not find quality time to spend with kids and to overcome the guilt they end up buying lavish gifts. Children do not value money. They do not understand the importance of money. They know the value of tie you spend with them. So make it a point to spend more time with your kids and less money with your kids.

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
