Upgrade Your Home Without Burning A Hole In Your Pocket
Raise your hands if you want to upgrade your home but the exorbitant prices hold you back every time. We have been there too. Expenses that do not seem much can often add up to a lot and give a considerable blow to your budget. However, if you are a smart buyer, you can save your money and have a prettier house at the same time. Here are a few ways that can help you in saving money while shopping for appliances:
Sale Season, Save Season
This one is a no-brainer but we can’t emphasize more on the fact that timing is the king when it comes to purchasing. You can make use of end of season sales, Diwali, Holi, and other festival based sales. Christmas and New Year sale is in full bloom currently. Make sure you check it out. A few places offer around 70% discounts.
Look At All, Choose The One
Assume yourself to be a princess and the sellers as frogs. Now all you have to do is find the Prince among the frogs. In order to do so, you will have to obviously look at all the frogs. Online shopping can be a savior since it lets you check out multiple offers simultaneously without having to get out from your cozy spot.
Negotiate With The Seller
Your mom has been teaching you this skill every time she took you shopping. Did you pay attention to what all she used to say? Things like “Sabzi k sath dhaniya toh free do” (“At least give some fenugreek for free”) had a lifelong money lesson. Don’t forget to ask your seller to give you discounts because you left all the other shops and came to his shop *wink*
Look Beyond Flaws Of The Skin
Okay now we are not saying that you go on to buy the ugliest looking ones in the market (although they might actually be the lowest priced ones). More often than not, appliances are considered not sold due to a physical damage like a dent or a portion of paint scraped off. These ‘rejected’ pieces are then sold for a lot less than they are worth. Now the thing to be noted here is that the internal working of these pieces is just fine so you can use them just as well as the other pieces.
Give Some, Get More
There might be appliances at home that are in working condition but are not loved anymore because they are outdated. Yeah, we are looking at you decade old refrigerator. But did you know that you could actually reduce the cost of a new appliance by simply exchanging them for your older appliances? Also, yet again, do not forget to negotiate with your seller about the exchange price as well.
Divide Into Smaller Chunks
What sounds better- saving some money every month and then at the end of a long waiting time buy a product or avail the product immediately and then repay the amount in small amounts each month, all the while using the said product? Any person in their sane mind would say the latter. Getting a personal loan for home renovation lets you do exactly that.
So there you go. Now you can finally give that good feeling to your home without having to worry about what you are going to eat for the rest of the month. Don’t delay it any further since this is where you spend most of your days. If you have any questions, do let us know in the comment section below.
