2. Items with a lifetime warranty: Brands like Cutco, JanSport, Craftsman and Tupperware offer a lifetime warranty program in exchange for extra amount of money.

That being said, you need to be extra careful when buying such items because some companies only honor lifetime warranties if you are the original owner.
4. Gift cards: The idea of buying gift cards has become popular as a way to save money and in some cases, disappointments.

5. Tech gadgets: Buying a used tech item instead of a brand new one can save you a huge sum of money. But before doing that, you need to make sure you’re getting a full warranty with that used item as you would on a brand new model. Amazon Warehouse is great for used tech items! You can find open-box items like tablets and laptops that have been returned, used, damaged in a warehouse, or refurbished. Under “Buying Options,” Amazon sorts by conditions, so you can tell if the item is in good condition or not.
9. Clothing: Fashion trends are constantly changing, and if you try to keep up with them by buying new clothes every season, you’re definitely going to overspend. The good news is that you can often find great, lightly worn clothing at local thrift stores or online marketplaces. Some people even donate clothing items that are new and still have tags!
