3 Quick Tips

3 Quick and easy shopping tips to abide by:

1. Always check for a stores loyalty program! What people don't realize is that some of these loyalty programs can save you a great deal of money, especially if you are a frequent shopper at this store. Lots of retail stores offer 50% of your first purchase with a loyalty card (Or whatever it is), and others offer you 10-20% off every purchase when you buy something from the store. Yes, 10% doesn't seem like a lot but it does add up!

2. Don't fall for the huge signs that say $10 on a rack full of clothes. FACT: 95% of the clothes are regular price, beside that huge $10 sign is a tiny tiny "from" posted beside it... meaning the rack starts from $10 and works its way up. So while you think your getting a bargain on something, your really just paying full price. It's a great way to scam shoppers, usually people wait in line to buy something they think is $10 but when they reach the cash desk its really $30, but they somehow convince themselves they are getting a great deal... trust me I see it every day.

3. Be polite to the sales associates! I'm not just saying that because I am one, but trust me kindness goes a long way! If you are being difficult and annoying, why would I even attempt to try and help you? What people don't realize is that at the end of the day we get the last call on wether you get a discount/ price adjustment or even a return/exchange. If your nice, at the end of the day you might have passed the exchange date and I'll be the one who can pull a few strings and still exchange it for you!
