（2026·镇江市句容期末）Wise shopping is a useful skill for teenagers, especially when we use pocket money or lucky money. It helps us buy what we really need without wasting money. 1.
Make a shopping list.
Before going shopping, think carefully about what you need. 2, such as notebooks, erasers or clothes. This way, you won't want to buy things you don't need when you see beautiful products(产品) in the mall or online.
Compare(对比) prices.
The same product may have different prices in different shops or on different websites. Take your time to compare the prices. Sometimes, you can find a better deal with a lower price but the same quality(质量). 3.
Check the quality.
Quality is more important than price. When buying clothes, see if the quality is good. 4. A cheap product that goes bad quickly is actually a waste of money.
Set a budget.
It's important to set a budget before shopping. Decide how much money you can spend, and try to stay within that limit. If the product you want is more expensive than your budget, save money first instead of spending all your money at once.
5.
If you're not sure about a product, don't be afraid to ask for help. Shopkeepers can tell you more about the material, size or usage of the product. You can also ask your parents or friends for advice, especially when buying expensive things.
