Trawl sales to revamp home

Q: I MIGHT be getting a bonus this month and I am thinking about redecorating parts of my home. What is the best, and most affordable, way to do this?

A: If you’re hoping to invest your yearend bonus in making your space a little comfier, cosier and more “you”, you may want to wait for the January sales.

We often see stores clearing stock in January at great prices. If you’re willing to pocket your bonus until then, you could pick up some real bargains.

You should also trawl festive season markets and thrift stores. New isn’t always better. Don’t be afraid to buy pre-loved. – Craig Mott, Western Cape regional sales manager for the Rawson Property Group
