How to get the most from Boxing Day sales

Boxing Day sales have been the cause of plenty of regret on account of impulse buys over the years. Here’s how you can avoid it.

Buy what you need - Write a list of items you need. Then, allocate a budget of what you’re willing to pay for these items. Take this list with you if you go shopping, and ensure you don’t stray from it. This will minimise the risk of you getting conned into buying something you never needed or even wanted.

Consider your payment options - If you’re using a credit card keep in mind that some retailers may charge surcharges. Additionally, think about whether or not you’ll be able to pay off your purchases before the due date. If not, consider a low rate credit card or a card with a 0% interest promotion. Failing this you might want to consider a balance transfer card.

Check refunds and exchange policies - If you’re not sure about an item find out the exchange or return policies before you buy it. This way you can avoid a nasty surprise when you try to get your money back.
