The festive season has begun with Navratri . Many e-commerce companies and offline stores have put up boards of bumper discounts. Many people are also shopping fiercely to take advantage of the discounts being offered. But the big question is whether you are able to save in reality. This is because the lure of discounts is being given to increase sales but on the other hand, customers are being cheated by secretly increasing the price. If you are also planning festive shopping, then we are telling you some ways, by following which you can not only buy the best things but also save a lot. 

Find out online and offline rates 

Nowadays there is a mindset that there are huge savings in online shopping. However, this is not the case in reality. You will get many items at good rates offline as well. So do not forget to compare before shopping in this festive season. Compare the prices on different websites. Then compare with offline. Then see where you are getting a good deal. If you do a little homework, then believe me you will make good savings. 

Create a budget and list

Make a list of what you want to buy during the festival. Stick to that list. What happens is that during the festive season, customers spend more because of attractive deals and offers. In today's time, the burden of debt has increased due to the easy availability of credit cards. Therefore, if you make a list and shop, you will not only avoid unnecessary expenditure but will also be able to buy the right things. This will have two benefits. You will be able to save and will not be burdened with debt. 

Choose the right credit card

All credit cards look the same, but they are not. The features of all credit cards are different. For festive shopping, choose those credit cards on which special offers are available from popular retailers or e-commerce companies. The cards on which you get bumper discounts or cashback are the best. Many cards give such cashback points which you are never able to use. If you have more than one card, then compare the offers available on all of them carefully.
