Welcome to my Blog!

These are just some random cost saving tips, similar to those from the first post.

1. Buy used or second hand stuff

Look around your house, and you will realize some stuff lying around are simply… old but still useful. We don’t always need new stuff, so viagra natural let’s make good use of old stuff. If you don’t mind, I hope there’s a second hand shop somewhere around your neighbor, with tons of stuff ready for a second life. Buy them and it could save you quite a bit. (eg. My 2nd hand Kawai upright grand piano cost $4,200, but the original price is tagged around $16,000).

2. Keep a list of items and their prices

Keeping in mind what’s the price of an item helps, if you are not sure of the “usual” price of an item. If you know them well, or keep a list, you can easily compare and contrast as to why an item is sold higher than other places, or lower. There maybe 10 products that serves the same function. It is therefore wiser to choose the cheapest, unless it differs with some extra functions you need.

3. Calculating the lifespan of a product

It is frustrating to buy a shoe that costs $50 and it lasts less than 2 years wearing out at the sole or breaking away. While a pair of shoes that cost $150, it could last for at least 6 years. I remember there’s a brand called “Caterpillar” which produces very high quality yet lightweight shoes. If you can “estimate” the lifespan of a product you are buying, I would rather you spend slightly more money to get one that lasts. (eg. IT gadgets, quality apparels)

Remember, these little tips can add up to lots of amount after a long time.
