Hello fellow shoppers, my name is Kara Lyons and you've arrived at my shopping blog. Make no mistake, I absolutely love to shop and when I'm not working I'm in the city shopping at my favorite stores. Since I shop often, I've learned how to spot the best bargains and I also know the best times to buy certain items. I hardly ever pay full price for anything I buy and I always take advantage of in store coupons and promotions. My love of shopping began when I was little and I would tag along behind my mom while she shopped. When I got old enough to shop for myself, I began to discover ways to get more for my money. If you also enjoy shopping, but you're on a budget, read my blog to learn how you can get the things you want and need without breaking the bank.
Are you shopping for your wife's birthday gift and you are on a tight budget? Perhaps you are both still college students and funds are limited. On the other hand, maybe you have been married for several years, but the expense of raising children takes a great part of your salary.
From selling gold you already own to shopping for a one-of-a-kind gift for your wife, here are some ideas that might help you.
Sell Gold You Already Own - Do you have a collection of gold coins? Perhaps somebody like your grandparents gave you a gold coin on each of your birthdays as you were growing up. Or, it might be that you bought the gold coins yourself when you had extra money in the bank. Perhaps the gold you own is in the form of an antique pocket watch or in the form of gold cuff links that you inherited from your great grandfather.
No matter the items of gold you are wanting to sell, before you do so, have you asked yourself if you'll be sorry later if you sell gold that was special to you? The love and appreciation you have for your wife more than likely outweighed the feelings you had for the gold, right?
Take the gold you have decided to sell to a store that deals with the buying and selling of gold objects. You will be paid according to the going rate of gold on the world market. Do you already know that you can even sell gold at a pawn shop? For example, perhaps you are expecting a bonus at your place of employment in just a few days. If that's the case, pawn the gold at a pawn shop with the purpose of redeeming it when you have received your bonus.
Shop For A One-of-a-Kind Gift - Of course, you could go to a discount store or to a department store and you would probably find many lovely gifts for your wife. However, if you want to give her a unique present, think of going to places like antique stores, boutiques, and even estate sales.
You might even find the perfect gift for your wife at a pawn shop. For example, maybe your wife has expressed an interest in learning how to play the guitar. At a pawn shop you can probably find a guitar in like-new condition that your wife would really love.
