Consumer Spending
Tanya S.
Do's
Some do's of consumer spending would be:
- Compare the price with other brands
- Check to see if there is a sale or promotion, or ask for a bargain
- Check the product and its quality yourself before buying it
- Think about whether the product (quantity & quality) is worth the price
- Think about whether you really need that product at the time or not
Don'ts
Some don'ts of consumer spending would be:
- Don't buy a product just for its price and brand name
- Don't buy it when you first see it (without checking for it elsewhere), unless the price and quality are proper
- Don't fall for schemes that sound very over-the-top
- Don't buy something if it's really not needed
- Don't buy something just because the packaging is pretty - the product should be too
