Budget Shopping Guides for Trendy Finds
I do not believe in gatekeeping. From finding ₹50 jewelry in Janpath to scoring deals at Zudio, here is where I shop for style and home decor without breaking the bank.
A tour of Gujarati Lane in Delhi, the perfect spot for Navratri shopping. You can find everything here, from unique oxidized jewelry and boho bags to colorful lehengas and home decor.
This is a must-visit spot in Janpath market called 'The 50 Shop,' where every piece of jewelry is just ₹50. It’s a hidden gem for finding trendy and unique chokers, earrings, and necklaces.
A quick haul of all the amazing beauty and accessory finds from Zudio, all under ₹100. I found everything from makeup remover wipes and lip balms to sheet masks and scrunchies.
I discovered a mini Banjara Market in Noida Extension with beautiful and affordable ceramic crockery. They are direct suppliers and even offer custom designs, with prices starting at just ₹30.
A walkthrough of the Mr. DIY store, which is my favorite place for affordable home goods, cute stationery, and craft supplies. It’s a one-stop-shop for almost everything you can think of.
Did you know you can get custom jerseys printed at Decathlon for just ₹99? I got my Instagram handle printed on a t-shirt, and it was done in minutes.
About My Budget Shopping Guides
Before hitting busy lanes like Gujarati Lane or Janpath, carry a big tote bag and keep some cash handy. Many small vendors prefer cash for those ₹50-₹100 steals. Always check the quality of oxidized jewelry clasps before buying, as a quick tug saves you from a broken earring later.
Shopping on a budget is an art form. My guides are all about finding pieces that look expensive but cost a fraction of the price.
Local Markets
When I visit places like Gujarati Lane or the smaller alleys of Janpath, my focus is on spotting unique items you won't find in big malls. For jewelry, look for pieces with sturdy wiring and clean finishing. If you see a '50 Shop' as I found in Janpath, don't hesitate to dig deep into the pile. The best treasures are often at the bottom.
Store Hacks
It is not just about local markets. Big stores like Zudio, Mr. DIY, or Decathlon have hidden gems if you know where to look. At Decathlon, I love using their printing services for custom jerseys, which is a total steal. At home decor stores, focus on utility. Do you really need that expensive vase, or can you find a similar ceramic piece in a smaller market or a discount store like the one in Noida Extension?
My Philosophy
Everything I share is tested. I only recommend what I have personally bought or used. Whether it is a ₹30 ceramic bowl or a ₹49 makeup item, it has to be 'sasta, sundar, tikau' (affordable, beautiful, and durable). Feel free to reach out if you need help navigating these markets or want specific links for the items I feature.
