Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually 1__________ you money or can add to the cost.

Before you buy a new 8__________ , talk to someone who owns one .If you can, use it or borrow it to check it suits your particular purpose.
