Navratri is just around the corner, and with it, Amazon and Flipkart's major festival sales are also about to begin. Flipkart Big Billion Days and the Amazon Great Indian Festival, starting on September 23rd, offer a great shopping opportunity. Every year, these sales offer great discounts and offers. But if you don't plan, you could end up overspending or buying things you don't need.

If you want to shop wisely and stick to your budget, these 10 simple tricks will be very helpful.

1) Make a Shopping List
Before the sale starts, decide what you want to buy. Whether it's electronics, clothing, or even household items. Making a list will help you avoid unnecessary purchases.

2) Set a Budget and Stick to It
Determine your total spending in advance. Check your shopping cart frequently to avoid going over budget.

3) Compare prices on different platforms
Sometimes the price of the same product varies on different websites. So, use a price-comparison website or mobile app and then shop where you get the best deal.

4) Be sure to check the price history
Sometimes, the price of a product is increased before a sale, and then a discount is shown. In such cases, use price monitoring websites to determine whether the offer is truly genuine or just a hoax.

5) Take advantage of bank and wallet offers
Paying with certain bank cards or UPI apps offers additional discounts. This way, you can save even more money on your purchase.

6) Take advantage of exchange offers
If you're buying a new mobile phone or appliance, check if there's an exchange offer for your old product. You can save even more by exchanging your old product.

7) Use reward points and cashback
If you have credit card reward points or cashback coupons, use them. This will help you spend less and put less strain on your wallet.

8) Choose no-cost EMI wisely
No-cost EMI is a good option for expensive items, but only if you can afford the monthly installment. Be mindful of hidden charges.

9) Check reviews and ratings
Don't buy just because you see a low price. It's important to read the product and seller's ratings and reviews.

10) Keep an eye out for limited-time deals
Sometimes, sales offer great deals for a limited time. If you find an item on your list, buy it immediately.
