how often do you go shopping?

I used to go out once a week if I could, but now I'm lucky to get out twice a month. With gas prices going up and so many goods rising in price I just can't afforid to shop like I used to. I have really had to cut back in the past months. I hope things don't stay like this or I will have to find new hobby for myself.

With rising inflation in double digits and economy going slump , I am now in a saving mode for the rainy day. earlier I used to buy in bulk sale , no sale didn't made any difference. now I want the hard earned money to be utilised in a proper way. with growing kids I think of their future and a home loan to be paid off every single penny counts. I try to controll my impulse to buy, have a deep thought of necessities. If it is certainly required I would go for shopping, else I am happy with window shopping. bye.

I love to go for a shopping..But the fact is that I do not buy all things that I see. Usually I plan shopping in the weekend. Before that I put a list of all things that I should purchase all through the week.So I stop my shopping with that. But I think there is nothing to loose in a window shopping until you have a resistance to buy things. .So I love window shopping. I like to go to big malls and stores and have a look at the products that are available in the market. This helps me to know the new arrivals. But I'm very strict when it comes to buying things. I don't buy anything just because it is different or it is new or it is the fashion. I buy only if I need it really.

i work inside the mall so i basically go window shopping everyday. i try to control myself from purchasing anything that is not within the budget. whenever i make purchases i pause and ask myself if it's a need or a want before deciding on buying.

Usually I go shopping when I want to buy something. I don't really shop without a target item because I would end up buying tons of useless things if I do that. Now I usually think of something I need to buy, then I go look for it.

I only buy something when I really really need it. I try to save my money for traveling and my education. I think a trip to another country is better than clothing, and all other material possessions, and an education is better in my opinion. But I can understand what you mean, it's hard to resist some things on the sales rack, but my motivation and cheapness holds me back from buying something... I only ever shop online, because I can usually find the same thing a lot more cheaper on ebay, hehe. I am definitely a planner when it comes to using my finances. It's either necessary, or not necessary. That's how I weigh my decisions hehe :p

I wish I could shop when I want to. I usually just buy what I have to have. With the prices going up on a lot of things its best to shop smart. I do like to shop when there is a good sale.
