Enable ad blocker when surfing to save money

Postby augusta » 21 May 2023, 07:42

You need to stop the temptations all together when it comes to spending It is to Stop being bombarded with products and items to buy ads luring you to make spur-of-the-moment purchases . When you are checking your social media feed, reading blogs or other e-commerce website you can minimize your exposure to ads by installing an ad blocker or enabling it if you have one in place already to help turn off targeted ads in your browser.

The bottomline is that you don't get to see the ads and you don't get tempted to buy or spend incessantly and money is saved.

Don't use as blockers with sites that pay. It is kinda cheating.

Ads can be very tempting and lead you to end up buying what you don't need.

You know this right, I have bought some things online that weren't on my budget just by seeing an ad on my Facebook page.

It happens to some people. And the way they would make the ads to look so enticing, you might not be able to resist it.

Those ads are even terrible with loan companies. They would entice you all to make you take a loan.

It is true that I see ads that are very tempting. Experience have taught me not to rely on ads to make purchase decisions. I once took an online loan after seeing their ads on Bizdustry. The interest they charged me for one week was massive. Almost 70%. And they never disclosed that in the ads and while processing the loan. That's why online ads don't ever move me.

Its better to have self-control and if you don't have that then nothing can stop you from spending on unnecessary things

Yesh I ser this a lot especially when I'm surfing through finance sites. But I ignore them totally as you need to drop your personal information with them.

Even if you turn off ads, there are still pop uo ads that might still push you to buy when browsing online. Self control is just the final solution.

This can help you temporarily and what if when you are outside with your Girlfriend, you certainly need to buy her whatever she demands

It is crazy when you are just browsing innocently, and some enticing dress just pops up from Jumia. So many people would click and checkout. That's how impulse buying starts.
