Hmmmh, this makes sense. Chioma is a first grade tear-rubber virgiin. Since I don't have millions to take her to Dubai, I'd rather settle for Adesuwa, a used evening paper. Her kpekus is still in good conditions though. Just a minor expansion.

The generation we are now is a global world, where almost everything is available to us on the internet, and we have multiple pampamered shoppers who buy anything they come across at a flash both the one they need and those they don’t need. Statistics have it that we no longer use items to their maximum life. We buy, throw, and replace things very fast. This way we end up wasting our hard earned money and polluting the environment. Aside that, we all know the level of economy reccession in the country now. Would it not be better to use money judiciously? Buy quality products and buy according to use. How, you ask? Try buying used or second-hand products. There is no point paying full-price when you can get the same quality and at better deals (BELGIUM USED)

Below are list of items you can buy used and maintain your savings:

1.Household Appliances for Rented Homes

I love the idea of new appliances but when you move a lot like I do, it makes no sense to spend a lot of money on them. With each move, things wear out. Few bumps and scratches are inevitable. And technology changes fast. Also, we all have this fantasy and taste of decorating our home with the lastest products. Then why waste money now? Save till you move into your own home. Microwaves, ACs, TV, Washing Machines are a few items that can easily be bought on the internet. Try jumia, konga. etc

2.Designer Products
It is no fact that designer product are very very expensive – the likes of apple laptop, iPhone,hermes product, original Gucci product. I have found out that those who really want it, buy it second-hand. What a great idea this is! Designers products are ridiculously overpriced. If someone wants to own a bag, watch, or dress, and can’t afford it on full-price, buying second-hand is a great way to fulfill your desire without burning a hole in your pocket. There are many legitimate websites that sell second-hand designer stuff and they certify it on request.

3.Plastic Toys for Children
Almost every child like toys, toys is just something children can do without. However,children grow fast and tend to change their toys, just as they grow out of clothes too. They learn and lose interest. They want a brand new toy every now and then. As we all know toys are very expensive, buying second-hand makes much more sense. Tricycles, plastic toys, Lego sets are a few that we can be bought used.

4.Textbooks, if Syllabus has Not Changed

Textbooks cost a lot. With fees and other expenses at the beginning of the school year, it’s advisable to get second-hand textbooks and handout from our seniors. In case you know someone who is a year senior to you or your child, ask them. And don’t forget to keep yours in good shape and donate them. It saves money and protects the environment too.

5.Car for New Drivers
We all know the value of car reduces by 20% the moment we take it out of the dealership store. Then why pay the high price when you are a new driver? As a new driver, few scratches here and there are a given. Personally, I would make a mistake on the road if I’m more worried about my car than following traffic rules. For new drivers, it’s good to have a second-hand car. Buy a used car from an authorized dealer. This way you pay less money and have the best quality. Do the same for two wheelers for your growing children. You can also check out sites like ijamautos

6.One-time Use Items

I follow this principle – I never invest in a product that I would use once or I am not sure I would use again deal. There is a textbook I bought for my entrance examination which I never used again. something I can easily go and borrow for community library. Ask yourself – if you don’t intend to use a product in the next 6 months, don’t buy it from the store. Search for a second-hand online deal or renting instead.

Is there anything you would recommend buying used? Please share in comments below.

Unfortunately, the word resourcefulness is out of our vocabulary.

Why do you have to work so so hard for consumables when with way less you get same quality? Why can't you alternate stuffs you have?

What I hate to buy are knock offs.

I rather do second hand original stuff.

Hmm...interesting. For me... used cars... always a money saver since a brand new car loses a whole lot of value as soon as it leaves the dealership. But always know the car history... or the car and owner before buying. Used appliances.... maybe microwaves... they either work or don't work... fridge , washers, air conditioners, generators may have serious problems that would only show up after using for some time...as in a/c..... cools for a short period only. Electronics... phones...TV's...laptops... the same... works fine at first then problems after a whike... screen goes blank... don't take much charge etc. Clothing...not from strangers... who knows?..residue from a ehmmm.... life sore all deep in the fabric! Cooking utensils...no way... were they used to ehmmm....strange meats?....like human??...but that's me!

I will never buy a brand new iPhone again. Instead, I'll wait and buy it later when the price must have dropped drastically.

I still find new Android phones far more smarter than it's comparative iPhone model. From features down to specs.

I never wanted to believe it but now I can say that iPhones are simply over-hyped.

My opinion/view tho. No one should wail and mention me abeg.
android is the best i have been using android phones for 6 years now and i tell you they are the best ios is just over hyped

what is Copywriting?

Copywriting is basically the art of selling with words
How to anyone buy your product or service, anywhere, anytime even if they don't know you before
I've trained people I've never met before.
I have written copies that pulled in lots of converting sales for my clients.. We didn't know them from anywhere
With Copywriting, you will know the right words to use that trigger sales
You see, money is not created, money is transferred
The only people
who actually create money are those that mint it.. And we know we are not in that cartegory..
The truth is, your money is in someone's pocket or bank account..

The money you have in your pocket belongs to one company or person like Dangote
You will surely buy something before today ends.. You will not use paper na. You will transfer money to the one has made a system to receive that money..
The question is, who is paying you??
What do you have as a skill or product or service that can make people transfer their monies to you??

When a person buys anything, they buy it for two main reasons; to solve a problem or improve their lives.

Not because they like your face.. No.

But because you are solution to them..
Money is simply a medium for exchange of value...a trade by barter

You have value. Your customer has the money. Two of you just do trade and barter..!!

A good writeup.

Although I don't want concur with everything mentioned. Many, if not all, of the things we buy goes out of fashion quickly, or a newer version is introduced while you saving up to buy it,

One of the things you can do is not to rush into buying those items when newly out, wait till the euphoria and craze about it die down. A good example is TV set. My brother bought his LG 42" for over 250k in 2009, I bought mine 104k in 2011 both brand new.

Another means of getting cheap items is during sales promo, clearance sales. Many of the dresses use see in some Nigerian boutiques are clearance sale from foreign shops.

This are just a few means to get cheap items, not necessarily buying use them as used.

That does not mean to say I don't buy used items.
