SAMPLE ESSAY
Thecost of living today has incresed tremendously. Everything is expensive. Therefore, when we shop we have to shop wisely or we will risk wasting our money. There are many ways in which we can control the amount of money we spend.
Firstly, when we go shopping, buy only essential items. We should make a list of things that we need to buy and follow it closely. Do not get carried away at sales and then overspend. Sometimes, when we see big discounts, we purchase items that we do not really need. Try not to be taken in by sales tactics like "Buy Now, Pay Later" or "Spend to Save".
Besides this, we should also carefully choose the shops and the restaurants that we go to. Go to trustworthy, reliable shops which sell quality products. Choose places where the prices are fair and the service is good.
Being health concious is another way to save money when we shop. It is good to buy fresh fruits and vegetables so that the family can have wholesome, nutritious food. We should not waste our money on junk food because not only is this kind of food expensive, it is also bad for our health. Also, avoid buying expensive imported items when local ones are just as good.
When we shop, we should make sure that what we get is value for money. Always check the expiry date of food items especially when they are sold during a sale. It is common for shops to reduce the prices because the product is expiring soon. Also, check to make sure that there are no harmful additives in the processed food. The cans must be in good conditions. Do not buy dented or rusty cans.
If we budget our money carefully and spend only on necessary items, we will not waste money when we go shopping.
