Plan well ahead before you sit down to start your online shopping. Creating a list of items that you are planning to buy will help you stay on track. Avoid getting distracted and you will save a lot of money in your shopping spree. For example, create a list on Friday and research on the items that you have listed. Weigh the pros and cons and find out if there is already an alternative available at your place. Filter out your list and sit with the list on Sunday evening. Go through the particulars again and repeat the filtering process.
