We've all made shopping mistakes before, whether it be splurging on a trendy pair of heels we never wore, or just spending way above our limits. We've found some shopping mistakes many people fall into, so you can avoid them.
Buying New Merchandise
One rule that I always follow is to think twice before buying anything that just came in. It may be cute and fresh from the factory, but that same shirt that you're eyeing now will be on sale in a couple of weeks. Unless you just can't live without it, leave it on the rack and wait till it goes down. Or better yet, see if you can spot a similar item for a better price in another store.

Credit card shopping sprees
That 20% off for opening a new card is tempting, but don't let it fool you. Store credit cards carry high interest rates, and they can only be used in that store. The extra percentage off will only drive you to buy more, which will only increase you balance. Not only that, but opening up too many cards can hurt your credit. If you already have a store card, make sure to only use it if you know you can pay it back on time. Don't shop on a rock star wardrobe when you can only afford ramen and water.
