00:00We know that we're spending more money on some items than we probably should, but here's
00:08some advice to avoid overpaying.
00:10The site GrowAcorns says it's pretty plain to see that some popular designer brands up
00:15the price on their frames and lenses, as much as 1,000% on glasses that could cost around
00:20$20 to make.
00:22They suggest looking for discount frames for clarity, or perhaps sharpening your negotiation
00:26skills when you're at the optometrist.
00:28It should be no surprise that Diamond Jewelry sees quite the markup, anywhere from 200%
00:33to 400% by some of the most famous names.
00:36GrowAcorns suggests turning to online dealers that can compare choices and cuts easier,
00:41as well as build something tailored to your budget.
00:43Food items can also eat into your wallet.
00:46Money Talks News suggests getting a water filtration system and some reusable containers
00:50instead of buying bottled water.
00:52It could also help your budget to bypass the coffee house, with the site saying instead
00:57it would be best to get a reasonably priced coffee maker for your home.
01:01And when it comes to toasting at dinner, Money Talks News says that instead of getting a
01:05few glasses of wine, which can cost two to three times the retail price, try searching
01:09for a moderately priced bottle to split.
01:12Cheers!
