Believe it or not, online shopping is a skill. I know you might think I'm joking, but I'm 100% serious. Just like with anything, practice makes perfect, and as a daily online shopper, I've come to learn some tricks of the trade. The most important one? Budget shopping is key, because sometimes you want items that look expensive without actually breaking the bank for them. There are some things that are reserved for a splurge, maybe a designer bag or a pair of boots you'll keep forever, but some things can be purchased for less than you'd think, and I'm here to prove it to you.
