Hardship is one thing no one hopes for, but that does not stop it from happening and the best outlook is to see how you can save at a time like this in Nigeria and other countries experiencing tough times.

In times like these, the best way to survive is to apply money-saving tips when shopping for items. With regards to this, here are five money-saving tips for shopping during hardship:

Go for generic brands

Opting for generic or store-brand products instead of name brands is another money-saving tip while shopping. Generic brands are often cheaper but can be of comparable quality.

Budgeting

This is one of the leading options to save money during hardship as is being experienced in Nigeria. It is important to set a strict budget before stepping out on a shopping trip. It is also necessary to not only set the budget but to also stick to it. A strict budget can help you prioritise essential purchases and avoid overspending.

Make a list

To save money while shopping during hardship, it is advisable to make a list of needed items and stick to it. A time of hardship is not the best time to indulge in impulse buying. Hence, you need to be sure of the things you need and put them into a list.

Compare prices

Another way to save during hardship is to take some time to compare prices at different stores or online platforms to ensure you’re getting the best deals you can get within or even outside Nigeria. With the way things are going up each day, you might be lucky to get someone still selling at old prices if you do this.

Buy in bulk

Buying in bulk has remained one of the best ways to save, especially with the increasing prices of items that happen daily in Nigeria that is compounding the hardship. Consider buying non-perishable items in bulk to take advantage of lower prices. Just make sure you’ll use them before they expire.
