I do spend way more that I plan to when ever there is a good sale going on, at the time it seems like I am spending a lot of money but in the long run I end up saving more than I ever could.

i'm like you.when i enter a big supermarket such as carrofer and wal mart,i just can't help myself buying many things on sale,even i know i don't need them and they are not really cheaper,just a trick set by merchant.while every time i go out of supermarket with a lot of goods not necessary.

Hello dear marketing friend. I do not always buy things that are unnecessary, but sometimes when I cannot resist or when it is on sale. hehe. Most time I can control myself not buy unnecessary things to cut off unnecessary buying. Thanks.

Well, I like buying things even if not necessary. I really love that. My mom says not to do so if it's not urgent and she says me to save money but I can't myself from doing so. It really gives a high feeling that you can buy whatever thing you love to buy.

I am a shopper. I shop to save money the more money I save the better I feel. I do not buy just what I need at that moment in time but what I may need six months down the line. I have been known to buy anything that is free after coupons and or rebate. Last week I bought five speed stick deodorants for my daughter. They cost me $1.99 each then I have $1.00 coupons on each. What made that even better was that I bought them at CVS and I got back $5.00 in extra care bucks. Granted you can only spend the extra care bucks at CVS it is still like free money. My daughter doesn't neet five deordarants now but she will need them at some point. I keep shelves of merchandise and use the older products first so that nothing really goes bad. Then if push comes to shuve I will sell my over stock at my yard sale to raise a little money to buy something that may be needed and doesn't have coupons on. My daugher tells all her friends that her mom can make a penny literally squeel. I try hard. My cousin says I am cheap. However, before my cousin hits the store to buy for herself she stops at my house first. She calls in family shoppin day. This is when she goes through my cupboards and picks over my over stock. She says it is cheaper shopping at my house than in a store. I only make her pay me what I paid for the product. Sometimes that is only tax. I do not mind at all. So you see not only do I shop and stock for my family I also shop and stock for others as well.

Yes, we do that, if the sale is really good. It eventually gets used most of the time, and if not, well it is no worse than gambling. Sometimes things bought that way end up coming in really handy, especially if the item gets discontinued.

Other than the food shop I tend not to shop unless there is something I really need just so I am not tmepted to do this. I live on a tight budget so unless I spot something I need that is at a really good price I tend not to buy. Ellie :D

Hi, That happens sometimes. When you see something you fall in love with that, but later when you use it you may not like the thing at all. It has happened in my case also. I am not able to pin point those instances now as I can't remember any now. However careful we are this type of thing happens and it mostly will be something to do with the kitchen. All the best

What I usually do is buying something pretty but not useful,and when I get home, I may blame myself for wasting money.

yes, I think that most people would do this.I would by something even if it's not necessary.why ? Because it's on sale,the goods are so cheap that I can't control myself.I will prepare something that I don't use now but use in the future soon.we are similar with each other on this case.haha
