Are you hoping to start saving more money in the New Year? If so then you should make a single phrase your new shopping motto. That phrase is “never pay retail prices”.

Ways to avoid paying retail prices include:

• Shop used. Buy everything from your cars to your clothes secondhand and you will save a lot of money on all of your shopping needs.
• Buy through auctions. You will discover that eBay and other online auction sites are your best friends if you don’t want to pay full retail price for new and used items.
• Go to the outlet malls. Get items that are brand new but cost a lot less when you shop at the right stores.
• Buy in bulk. Get a lower price on items when you buy them in bulk. If you’re smart then you’ll even buy in bulk with items that you don’t need a lot of and then sell off the extras to make back some of your money.
• Find wholesale dealers. Do you buy a lot of one specific item? Let’s say that you love candles. Find a wholesale candle dealer and learn how to buy wholesale from them. You’ll save a lot of money on items that you buy frequently this way.

Make it your motto not to pay full retail price this year and you’ll save a lot of money.
