With summer just around the corner, vacation plans are going to keep springing up. No matter which corner of the earth you’re travelling to, bringing back a fridge magnet or a frame as a souvenir is a thing to be left in the 90’s. However, not being acquainted with the shopping culture of a place can result in having to shed out more money than what is justified.

Given below are a few tips that will qualify you as a smart shopper while shopping on vacation:  

Never Stop Exploring

It’s only seldom that you stumble upon diamonds when you’re in a hurry. The more you explore, chances are you might find something exclusive. Ask the local guides for little known but exquisite shopping places and make sure to visit those hidden gems.

Stick To Local Markets

You don’t want to visit a foreign land to shop from Louis Vuitton or Chanel. And malls are almost the same at every corner of the world. But, the vintage shops and thrift stores will expose you to a whole lot of jewellery and clothes which will be unlike any other. So, when in Rome, do as the Romans!

Don’t Shy Away From Bargaining

 Maybe it is a forgotten art, but it can save you big bucks while you’re on vacation. Being tourists, you’re not familiar with the culture of the place you’re in, so sellers might sometimes over quote to get an undue advantage. However, don’t forget the rule of thumb while bargaining- kindness is key.

Make a Budget And Do Not Exceed It

 Talk about the nightmares of getting stuck in a new place without any money! Jot down everything on your list of shopping for vacation clothes and accessories before you set out. Remember, it’s okay to stay within your budget but certainly not okay to exceed it!

Find Everything Under One Roof

Investing too much time shopping can meddle with your sightseeing schedule, which will dissolve the purpose you’re visiting the place. Try searching for shops that sell everything from jewellery and clothes to antiques. This way, you would save time and also, some bucks.

Now that you know all the vacation shopping tips, it’s time to shop for the vacation itself! If you already have the next trip on the cards, start with shopping for the travelling clothes, gear and other essentials.
