Now more than ever saving money on what you buy is important.
That's why experts say when spending your cash, focus more on what you need than what you want.
It doesn't necessarily have to be food. It can be items for your home office or ways to entertain kids stuck at home due to the pandemic.

Skirboll suggests, when shopping, to look for deals, coupons and cashback. And give yourself some time before checking out with what's in your cart online.
"Wait 24 hours before you purchase anything. Press pause before you hit purchase," she said. "This is gonna really give you time to think, 'Do I need this? Do I need this right now? Can I wait to buy it?' Those are always really important strategies."
Skirboll also suggests not buying anything you aren't going to use in the immediate future.
