how long did it take you before you can say that you are already a wise shopper

I used to accopmany my mother in all her shopping sprees and then I didnt have the money to shop for myself. By the time I had I became a very good shopper striking the best deasl for the best money...Whenver I liked something and didnt so because of the price tag, I always waited for the sale and it has so far proved worth the wait. I have made a few blunders intially but oe I can measure the quality of things by a mere look and most occasions, my eyes do not deceive me.

I have learned to be a wise shopper at a very young age...my mom is.and I could see that on her..so I sort of copied her ways... she is always on the hunt for bargains..and she takes a calculator with her when we're doing groceries... amazingly, i do exactly the same thing when i'm doing my groceries too. I use my credit card to get more points and avail of all the promos there are... on top of that, I use the mall's frequent user card to claim for certain prizes... when I buy stuff from outside the mall..i always haggle for the last price thay can give me..that way I am gettingmy money's worth.. ....okay, call me stingy, probably i am... but that have helped me save a lot of money everytime...

It took me maybe some one year to become a good and a wise shopper because now when I shop I generally look at every details which I can so that I make a good shopping of the day, when I buy a dress I look at all the details like the sewing id good enough or not, so I check every thing thoroughly now. Even at the grocery I tend to take time to see some important details. And like this automatically I save much money at the end of the day.
