How to continue Shopping during recession?

While many people at tightening their belts, the urge to SHOP is hard to control. So, what can an average shopper do to continue enjoying shopping sprees?

1. Shop during SALE season

- during season sales, or sale promotions like the Great Singapore Sale (GSS) or Malaysia Mega Sale

2. Check the store Promotions and Work out your Shopping Plans

- many stores offer extra shopping vouchers if you spend above a certain amount, eg like extra RM10 for every RM100 purchase of cosmetics. So if you spent RM500, you will get RM50 voucher that you can use to buy apparels, or shoes.

3. Use your Credit Card Points to redeem for points

- i've redeemed several credit cards and managed to get RM3,000 worth of department store shopping vouchers. However, different credit cards offer different exchange value so you need to shop for the best bargain offer on credit card points.
