Hearty greetings my beloved sisters.

An interesting one for us in this edition is Shopping Etiquette. Interesting right(?) Whether you are young,old,single or married,shopping is a part of everyday life. Some people are living better lives because of some shopping etiquettes they adopted(knowingly or unknowingly) Below are tips that can serve as guide for us.

1) What is your financial capability at the moment (it is important as this helps prioritising your needs)

2) What are the needs,prepare a shopping list,be sure to separate the wants to be taken after the necessities.

3) Now check 1 and 2 above,and let there be a balance.

4) Don't buy to pay at a later date, it eats into your budget,the clause here is DISCIPLINE.

5) Make sure to do a last check on your purse,don't forget it at home,its not funny to discover you left your purse(the one with money) at home at the point of purchase.

6) Sometimes its important to eat before going for shopping, depending on the week day,the market size and footfall,or your shopping list. Shopping can be energy-consuming

7) Be sure to strictly follow your list.

8) Having more than the actual amount is wisdom as there can be price variations.
