I’m throwing my hands in the air and telling you straight up that I love to shop – but I equally love finding a good deal and feeling like I’ve won at ballin’ on a budget. That means I need a little strategy behind my shopping. I asked Trae Bodge, our resident smart shopping expert, to dish everything you need to know how to shop smart and save money all year long.

  • How and when to find the best shopping deals
  • Ways to cultivate a good mindset around shopping
  • Are shopping apps and coupons worth your time
  • Does price matching actually work
  • Should you buy online or in-store for the best deals
  • How to think about shopping once you're debt-free
