It’s time once again to be creative about getting some new stuff without tipping the budget. Here are more on how we can grab new loot, sans the guilt.

Call some friends and ask who’s up for clothes-swapping. We’ll get tired of wearing the same clothes everyday, so even if your friends’ outfits are not brand new, if you get to wear it the first time, it’ll feel new to you, right? Take note who among your friends also have your shoe size because you might wanna exchange shoes, too.

Buy old magazines that feature a lot of DIY stuff. From hairstyles to recipe, you’re sure to learn new skills that will make your lifestyle cheaper. Knowing how to give yourself a hairdo when you need it is very big savings! Imagine how much the salons charge nowadays. Same for food. Cooking meals is a lot cheaper than buying cooked snacks.

Sell old stuff to buy new ones. There’s some old things in the house which you’re not using anymore—why not sell it for what it’s worth then use the proceeds for shopping? This way, you earned your shopping funds without getting it from your basic earnings.
