00:00 We know that we're spending more money on some items than we probably should, but here's
00:08 some advice to avoid overpaying.
00:10 The site GrowAcorns says it's pretty plain to see that some popular designer brands up
00:14 the price on their frames and lenses, as much as 1000% on glasses that could cost around
00:20 20 bucks to make.
00:21 They suggest looking for discount frames for clarity, or perhaps sharpening your negotiation
00:26 skills when you're at the optometrist.
00:28 It should be no surprise that Diamond Jewelry sees quite the markup, anywhere from 200 to
00:33 400% by some of the most famous names.
00:35 GrowAcorns suggests turning to online dealers that can compare choices and cuts easier,
00:40 as well as build something tailored to your budget.
00:43 Food items can also eat into your wallet.
00:46 Money Talks News suggests getting a water filtration system and some reusable containers
00:50 instead of buying bottled water.
00:52 It could also help your budget to bypass the coffee house, with the site saying instead
00:56 it would be best to get a reasonably priced coffee maker for your home.
01:00 And when it comes to toasting at dinner, Money Talks News says that instead of getting a
01:04 few glasses of wine, which can cost 2-3 times the retail price, try searching for a moderately
01:10 priced bottle to split.
01:11 Cheers!
