1. Shop around for the best deals: This is probably the most important tip when it comes to saving money while shopping online. Take the time to compare prices between different retailers before making a purchase. You’d be surprised how much money you can save just by doing a little bit of research.
2. Use coupons and promo codes: Whenever possible, try to use coupons and promo codes when shopping online. There are often great deals to be had if you take the time to look for them.
3. Avoid impulse purchases: It can be easy to get caught up in the moment and make an impulse purchase that you later regret. Before clicking the “buy” button, take a step back and ask yourself if you really need the item or if you’re just buying it because it’s on sale.
4. Invest in quality: When it comes to shopping for luxury items, it’s important to invest in quality over quantity. Rather than buying a bunch of cheap items that will fall apart quickly, it’s better to spend a bit more on a few well-made pieces that will last for years.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to save money while still indulging in your love of shopping. Just remember to shop smart and always keep your budget in mind.

speed now that I kind of just jumped
into a second unintentional intro let's
jump into what today's batting on our
budget is about you guys for today's
batting on a budget you guys we're going
to be diving into my four big money
saving tips when it comes to buying
pizzas for my wardrobe and also all of
my secrets when it comes to affordable
luxury shopping so if you guys are
interested in how I save my money buying
things for my wardrobe then just keep on
watching as always if you guys see me
looking down I do have my phone here
with all of my notes I do not want to
miss a thing when it comes to giving you
guys these tips one of my big four tips
is going to be using Google Lens the
Google Lens search feature now Google
lens is a visual search engine that
Google offers on the Google page where
you can either submit a photo or even
take a picture of something and Google
will search every nook and cranny every
website known to man on the Google
platform and find the same item or
something similar and you can kind of
compare the price points that way you
can pick which one is your best bang for
your buck and which one fits your budget
I want to say I started using Google
Lens maybe about a year ago or using it
kind of consistently maybe like a year
ago and it's helped me so much when it
comes to buying my pieces whether you
know it or not you may see one item in
one store and nowadays everybody sells
the same thing let's just be honest
everybody says the same thing from Fast
fashion to your targets and your Walmart
it just depends on how the product is
listed how the title of the product is
worded that's why it's very important to
put in the picture because pictures
don't lie the Google Lens feature has
actually been very good for me when it
comes to being introduced to new brands
new companies new websites I've never
even known before but through Google
Lens I've been able to find so many more
affordable fashion websites that have
helped me out so much some of the
products that I found on Google Lens are
even better than Amazon so Google lens
is definitely worth trying now girl for
this second big tip you will need your
paper your pencil your iPad Notes your
Google Notes your iPhone Notes baby
writer on your forehead put it on your
hands spray paint it on the wall because
I'm about to drop these gems okay the
second big money saving tip that I can
give you guys is one that I love all too
well and that is buying dupes this
probably has to be the highest requested
is that even a word doesn't even sound
right this is my most highly requested
question that I get on my channel almost
on the daily and that is how to either
find the dupes or how to make sure you
don't get bamboozled when it comes to
buying these affordable luxury pieces
first thing I want to say off the rip is
that when it comes to buying affordable
luxury or dupes you should always always
no matter who's recommending them to you
now no matter what somebody said about
them always do your due diligence and do
your own personal
individualized research okay for me
personally even though I have never been
finessed when it comes to buying my
affordable luxury I can't say that it's
impossible to happen that it can't
happen but I've never experienced that
for myself because I do my due diligence
and I do exactly my own research to make
sure I never get bamboozled when it
comes to buying my affordable luxury I
always go buy these four steps
[Music]
step number one is to always go into
your search with knowing exactly what
you're looking for knowing exactly what
you're looking for will make it a whole
lot easier when it comes to you
searching through the product pictures
and that's because these product
pictures will look a little bit off if
you've searched through these affordable
luxury sites before then you know
sometimes it needs product pictures they
will look similar but some things may be
missing if you know you know if you
don't know you better ask somebody the
girls that get it they get it they will
look a little bit different but don't be
worried because if you go through these
next couple of steps then you will be
ensured that what you're looking for is
exactly right in front of you these
sites have also made things even easier
by also offering a image search tool on
the website you guys can take a picture
from Google or a picture you may have in
front of you and post it to the search
engine and it will find the closest
match or something similar to it in the
search bar the image search feature is
not giving you exactly what you're
looking for I suggest you guys using the
regular type of search feature and
typing in a keyword for your items now
that keyword can be either one word in
the name of your item or something that
could describe your item so for instance
if you want to find the Never full bag
instead of putting the whole name of the
bag including the brand just type in
Never full or Never full bag and then
the search engine will show you guys
affordable options to whatever you're
looking for now after searching if you
found an item that you think just may be
what you're looking for but you're not
sure because it's looking a little
different now you can jump into steps
three through four now steps three and
four are the biggest steps the most
important steps in this whole process
number three is going to be check out
the store or seller ratings the seller
rating will let you know if you found a
gold mine or if you should run okay Run
for the hill assist my rule of thumb is
to go for a seller or a store that has a
90 or above percent seller rating I've
actually shopped with a seller and a
store that has I think at least 80
percent positive seller ratings and
seller reviews however that's just me I
take risks I'm not scared and I'm
willing to do trial and error that does
not bother me however if you guys are a
little bit more skeptical which I'm sure
you are if you're not very experienced
in this affordable luxury game just
stick to the 90 or above rule when it
comes to seller ratings and store
reviews and also along with that stuff I
do recommend you guys also look through
the reviews and find the reviews that
have the pictures so that way it can
kind of give you even a more better
visual gauge of what you're getting
yourself into number four the final step
to buying your affordable luxury and not
getting Bamboozled is to contact your
seller this is very important you guys
you can look at all the pictures you
want all the reviews you want you can
think something is what it is but
getting the info straight from the
horse's mouth is better than honey okay
they do have a contact seller button
somewhere on the product page as well
you contact them asking about seeing
more detailed pictures of the item so
that way you are insured what you're
buying is what you're getting also to
warn you guys since these sellers are
sometimes overseas there's a little bit
of a language barrier but don't let that
scare you away they're often very
friendly and very open to answering any
questions you guys may have big money
saving tip number three is to just make
it make sense you guys okay make it make
sense when shopping before you swipe
that card press pay now always think
back into your wardrobe or even if
you're in luxury of your own home
shopping maybe get physical get moving
pull out clothes pull out shoes and see
if you can make between three to four
outfits out of that piece with pieces
that you already have in your wardrobe
if you can make that happen then this
piece is worth buying because it can
just casually jump into your wardrobe
and you can start wearing it immediately
without having to buy other pieces to go
with it or only being able to wear it
with one item and one item only and
that's how you're easily clocked to be
an outfit repeater because you're only
buying a piece they can only be worn one
specific way if you eat the same meal
every day you're gonna get sick to your
stomach you're not gonna like it anymore
and that's why most pieces end up going
either in the trash can or getting sold
I've been victim of this my whole entire
life I'm finally getting myself together
well trying to get myself together and
trying to be more intentional with my
wardrobe my wardrobe pieces that's why
you guys have been seeing me doing so
many closet sales because I would buy
pieces myself that can only be worn one
specific way I wasn't being intentional
I wasn't trying to get my cost per wear
and ultimately I was wasting money
because with that one piece or that one
item of clothing I had to buy so many
other things to try to make work with
that item which just caused me to power
on clothes on top of clothes on top of
shoes on top of bags and it just wasn't
a good time ultimately spinning and
wasting so much money last but not least
money saving tip number four buying and
shopping from affordable websites
affordable stores I could highly
recommend any of the big tips I shared
with you guys today it would have to be
the fourth and the third shopping
affordable stores and also making what
you buy from affordable stores make
sense in your wardrobe you will save so
much money I know sometimes fast fashion
or affordable fashion can get a bad rap
a bad name but I'm here to tell you for
those that can't really afford higher
fashion brands or just aren't in that
budget or that tax bracket at the moment
to buy higher fashion brands or if
you're one of those like me that just
does not see the value in spending all
that money on clothing then this is
definitely the option for you if you
know how to shop and know where to look
you can actually find some really good
pieces at Affordable Storage you guys I
cannot stress this enough please get rid
of this toxic and small mindset that
just because something is Affordable or
more affordable that it can't last or
that it's not worthy it can definitely
last with the proper care and anything
you buy is worthy no matter what value
it has everything has value you and
everything is worthy now I must admit my
problem has been for a year since I was
a little girl that I don't see the value
in anything no matter if I spend a
thousand a hundred ten or one I just
don't see the value in things which can
be a good thing and it can be a bad
thing something that I'm really working
on
um I want to work on better taking care
of my things whether it's affordable or
high-end I don't want to make those
things have materialistic value but I do
want them to have value because they are
mine and my things so you guys remember
to make sure to cherish what you have
and make it work for you and yeah you
