3 Ways to Shop Without Breaking Budget

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Purdue chapter.

After a long, hard day in class, my favorite thing to do is online shopping. Shopping helps me destress and forget about everything bad that happened during the day. But buying clothes while being a broke college student can be extemely difficult. Here are three things I have learned while online shopping on a budget. 

1. Put things in cart

I always add things to my cart and then leave it in there until they go on sale. It helps save time when there’s a sale as well because everything is already in my cart. 

2. Look for discounts

Discounts are everywhere! Every store gives out a discount on your birthday, so I would definitly sign up for those because you never know when you’ll have a bad day and in need of some shopping therapy. Also multiple online stores such as ASOS gives out a discount for students. 

3. Honey

There’s a browser extension called Honey that automatically checks for every discount possible when checking out and applies them. It’s super easy to get and use and has saved me a lot of money. 

Have fun shopping everyone! I hope these tips help everyone on a budget.
