All too often customers forget to budget appropriately. Additional fees like taxes, shipping, or installation are often not considered and customers\u2019 expenses exceed their budgets. A good rule of thumb you should practice is to look at the purchase price of the product and add an additional 20-25%. This will more accurately reflect your final register total. Including taxes and additional costs into your budget will help alleviate the frustration of going over budget.”] [\/nectar_icon_list_item][nectar_icon_list_item icon_type=”numerical” text_full_html=”simple” title=”List Item” id=”1745827087795-0″ tab_id=”1745827087796-4″ header=”Test Equipment Yourself” text=”Bring familiar DVD\u2019s and CD\u2019s with you on your shopping trip.
