10 Ways To Survive NYC On A Budget This Summer

When it comes to shopping, skip the stores and order online. Browse your favorite places, and write down the product information. Chances are, ordering items such as furniture or shoes on websites like Amazon will be much cheaper than buying them in stores. Try checking out local thrift shops, secondhand stores, or sample sales for an affordable way to buy cute clothes by your favorite designers. Tip: It works both ways. If you have unwanted items, try selling them on craigslist, ebay, or at a local secondhand store. You might not get back what you originally paid, but it’s better than nothing.
