WAYS TO MAKE WISER DECISIONS

WHEN SPENDING MONEY.
Shop wisely-Have a list of items you need when you go into a store and don't buy

on impulse.
Budget-Create a budget in order to plan what you spend.
Pay cash-Don't use a credit card. Follow this simple rule: If you don't have the

money, don't buy it.

Use discount cards-If you have store cards that gives you points and/or discount

when shopping can reduce the amount spent. Eg. Wonderful World Discount
Cards.4
Resist wasteful habits-Little indulgences add up fast. Here are some ways you

may save some money: Buy a water filter and fill a water bottle instead of buying
bottled water and pack your lunch and save $25 a week.
