JAKARTA - The 2023 Chinese New Year falls on Sunday, January 22. Usually, there are many big discount promos either before or during Chinese New Year celebrations.

Of course, the promos and discounts are to tease the public for shopping. But be aware not to let your head go.

For those who are not strong with the temptation, there is a possibility of buying products that are not actually needed for Chinese New Year celebrations, so there is a risk of high spending.

To overcome this, there are a number of tips for spending on savings ahead of the Chinese New Year that can be done, as quoted from Antara, Saturday, January 21:

1. Get a shopping list according to the priority scale

Sometimes a person will be complacent with the number of products that are discounted so that they want some products that are not really a priority. It's better if you shop according to your priorities. In order to keep the required shopping, try making a shopping list by sorting out the shopping list according to your priorities. The top product is the product that is most needed.

If someone shops for Chinese New Year needs online, they can enter these products into shopping carts first. Then, compare the contents of the shopping cart with the list of purchases that have been made and sequenced with a priority scale.

Remove products that are not in the shopping list or products that are not really needed, then then the order process is further. This will make spending more efficient.

2. Fix a maximum budget for shopping

The next efficient spending tip is to determine the maximum budget for spending on Chinese New Year needs. The maximum cost determination can help fence someone's spending wish that is sometimes out of control.

If someone shops using an online shopping application, then they can see the price range of each product they want to buy. With this information, he can estimate the maximum cost to be spent.

The maximum cost determined comes from information on product prices that are a priority.

3. Online shopping, use available promos and compare prices

Shopping using online shopping applications can be an option to save, because sometimes it provides promos and practices. In Titipku, for example, there is a price discount promo for Chinese New Year, including one chicken for Rp29,900, then apples, wine, and oranges starting at a price of Rp6 thousand.

In addition, there are also promos for discounted basket cake products starting at a price of IDR 17 thousand in certain markets. Furthermore, a person can make groceries more efficient by comparing product prices.

4. Prioritize togetherness rather than luxury

Saving spending is also related to mindsets. Remember Chinese New Year is an opportunity for families to gather. Instead, make togetherness the most important value compared to having to present something excessive.

Instead of serving dishes made from expensive staples and not necessarily being processed by yourself, try making simple dishes that remind families with dishes in their hometowns or childhood dishes.
