Good Ways To Save Money

View:

1. Go through your closet and see if there are any treasures hiding in there. Carve out a few hours and go through all of your clothes. Try removing all the clothes from your closet and trying on every single piece. If something no longer fits or if it no longer fits your style, throw it to the side. If you don't want to simply give away these clothes, have a garage sale or take them to a consignment store to fund your new clothes budget.

2. Get on the list. If you tend to buy specific name brands, make sure you are on the store's mailing list for both snail mail and email mailings. You will be notified in advance of special sales throughout the year, and you may get coupon codes for free shipping through their online site or even a percentage off the entire online purchase. Once you have been a patron for some time, you'll get an idea of what time of the month or year these sales and special discounts are typically offered, and you can plan your spending accordingly.

3. Don't dismiss discount stores. If you haven't gone into a Ross or TJ Maxx for awhile, you may be surprised at the brand names these stores are carrying at significant discounts. You can also find some amazing deals at thrift stores. I have found plenty of pieces in the past with the original tags still on.

4. Know your buying style. Some people enjoy having new outfits more often (and these people can get away with buying products that are of lesser quality). If, on the other hand, you appreciate quality, long-lasting items that you'll have for years, shop for a clothes that are more expensive but of a higher quality. Even though they will cost more, you can buy them only when they are on sale, and they will last longer than their trendier counterparts. For example, I spend more on my neutral basics (black pants, white button down blouse, etcetera) and less on the trendy tops and accessories.

5. Shop out of season. You'll find huge discounts for summer clothing at the beginning of fall and discounts on winter clothing at the onset of spring.

6. Check out eBay, particularly if you have a particular brand that you love. I know moms who buy clothes for their kids by the boxful from eBay and they save bundles in the process.

7. Avoid buying anything that you don't absolutely adore. If something doesn't fit exactly right, keep it on the shelf. Even if you find an item at 80% off or more, it is no bargain if you never wear it.

Good Ways To Save Money

Once you decide to get married, you will need to prepare a lot of items. This includes the wedding venue, catering services, liquors, wedding photography, wedding favors and wedding stationeries. You can spend less and save money on these items. I will try to explain how you can do it in the case of Hong Kong.

The first thing you need to think about is the wedding venue. You may want to have your wedding in a five star hotel but this certainly means a higher budget. If you are going for a less formal wedding reception, you may consider the idea of beach wedding. You can rent the spaces on a beach from the government and this will only cost you a few thousand Hong Kong dollars.

For the catering service, if you follow the first step, you can try to get a company which offer outdoor catering services. This will be a lot cheaper than having the wedding reception in a hotel ballroom. A wedding reception in a hotel will probably cost you HKD160,000 for two hundred guests but a wedding reception on the beach may only cost you less than half.

Besides, you should always prepare and bring the liquor yourself, the cost of liquor provided by the catering services can be twice the cost of bringing the liquor yourself. You can shop around and compare what are the liquors you find the most acceptable, and at the same time meet your budget.

Considering the wedding photography, normally I will suggest a couple to hire two photographers since you can still get your wedding photos even in a cast that there is something wrong with the camera of one of the photographers. If you are so determined to save money, however, I will suggest you hire only one photographer who charges you a low price.

Then you can ask your friends and relatives to take snap shots and other photos during your wedding so that you can still take the safety measures without any difficulty.

You should try to make the wedding favor yourself. You may try to make some chocolates on your own and use them as wedding favors. This does not only help you save money but will also impress your guests. Since the wedding favors are made from your heart and it will be the most unique wedding favors in the world.

In Hong Kong, wedding stationeries mainly refer to the invitation. Items like RSVP and Thank You Card are not a must in the tradition of Hong Kong. You can consider printing the invitation yourself. You can download some free cliparts from the internet and compose your own wedding invitation. Then you print the wedding cards yourself with your printer at home.

By going through the above steps, it should be possible for you to save more than half you budget for your wedding.
