Just because it’s a “bargain store” doesn’t mean you are getting a deal or saving money. If you don’t need the item you’re purchasing, any money spent on it could instead be saved toward a more exciting financial goal like a fun trip or a large purchase.

DO THIS TODAY: Do some research to make sure your go-to bargain store items are really the best price at the bargain store or if you can find them elsewhere priced better.
