Secret 1: Compensation Principle
Although a person can be wise enough in the way he purchases goods, he may sometimes be weak in front of advertising temptations. Sometimes he may hurry to buy something that is not good. Here comes the role of the compensation principle.
If you entered a shop to buy goods with QR 300 as you have planned, then you realized that you bought things with QR 600, feeling regret you will decide to return some goods that you can delay to buy in the near future with an amount of money that equals the difference between your planned amount and the paid amount. Thus you will return the balance to your expenditures.

Secret 2: Avoid Excessive Spending
Our holy religion urges us not to spend excessive money on purchasing and to bring up our children on this. Being reasonable while purchasing contributes to discounting the prices.

Secret 3: Real Need for Goods
Always remember that purchase measurement is our need of goods and not their importance.

Secret 4: Wholesale Food Purchase
Why should you purchase primary materials only on wholesale? When you buy food products, try to buy wholesale raw or primary materials/ingredients that are used in food preparation like salt, sugar, tea and some spices, not the final products like cheese and cream. For example, If you decided to eat some cheese and found no cheese you can eat cream instead. In addition, if you want to cook a meal of rice and chicken and you did not find salt (primary ingredient), it will be difficult to continue cooking the meal without salt.
Why don’t we buy the final products wholesale?
When you shop to buy final products try to buy little amounts as possible as you can, just what you need, this will be useful in buying variety of goods. But if we bought it in wholesale, we will eat it excessively and may be spoiled, or you may try to find space for storage. Also excessive use of it will make you feel bored of it and buy another one or go to restaurants seeking varieties.

Secret 5: Quality

Secret 7: Beware of Discounts

Secret 8: Store Properly

Secret 9: Always Think To Be Productive
If you were able to repair your car by yourself and if you were able to repair your computer by yourself, this indicates you are a productive person. Productive person is opposite to the consuming person.

Secret 10: Don’t Hurry
Don’t hurry when buying your needs.. No one is threatening you or directing a gun to your head... Take your time... Think... Compare... Examine carefully... Ask others who tried the product before. Don’t let the supplier or temptation of the product put you in a hurry.

Secret 11: Many Suppliers For The Same Product
If you don’t like the price or quality of the product in the shop, go to another.. You are not obliged to buy from it.. Try to benefit from the competition between suppliers.

Secret 12: replacement helps restoring balance
If you usually and regularly buy 30 types of the main foods and you intend to buy a new food product that you will keep buying it in the future, but at the same time this new product will be a burden to your expenditures, you can then cancel one of the usual products that you used to buy in order to replace it with the new one without adding a new item to your expenditures.
