Control Your 'Bazaar' Impulse: Digital Receipt Audit 📉

It's easy to overlook RM10 here and RM15 there when visiting the Ramadan bazaar every evening. Before the month ends, those small expenditures can add up to a significant amount.

i) Weekly Spending Audit

At the end of each week, spend 5 minutes reviewing your transaction history. This helps you realise whether your Iftar spending has exceeded your planned budget.

ii) 'Saturation' Strategy

Before going to the bazaar, prepare a brief list of items that are genuinely needed. Scammers and marketing bots often use 'Limited-Time Iftar Offer' tactics to pressure people into buying vouchers that eventually go unused.

iii) Protect Your Physical Card

Bazaars are often crowded and busy. If paying with a physical card, ensure it remains in your control at all times. Use the 'Tap' function yourself and do not allow others to hold the card for too long to reduce the risk of card skimming.

A disciplined wallet helps you enjoy a calmer and more meaningful celebration at the end of Ramadan 🌙
