The hard times keep me from buying branded things for myself. it is my dream to clutch a Hermes or Louis Vuitton bag, wear a Victoria's Secret undies, sport a Prada or Burberry shoes, have the most nice smelling perfumes, etc. I may not be able to buy all those thing in the meantime but if it will be sold at a discount, from 50% - 70% discount, definitely I will buy one for me. In fact, I was able to buy some pricey things before all sold at a big discount.
Do you consider buying all those expensive things?

I don't really care about brand names. In fact, I prefer clothes, shoes, and bags that don't have a brand name on them at all. I always have, I guess I was just born to be cheap.
I recently got some nice new $15 shoes and I must say I totally love them. A friend bought them for me when the soles were coming off my other ones and I glued them on again once already. She offered to buy any shoes I wanted and I still picked the cheapest shoes available at that store.

I admire you for that. It's not the price or the brand of the clothes, shoes or bag you're wearing that makes you who you are. It's how you carry yourself that counts more.

I love brand items - but I don't like the prices of them... I try to buy them only when they are on sale.

Branded things usually are expensive and we can only buy them cheap when it's sold on sale. . .

Oh no... times like these... before i buy those expensive things... i would buy first the thing that my daughter and i really needs... like food, medicine, vitamins... then pay rent, bills, and other stuff... but i think even if i have a lot of money... i wouldn't really spend a lot on those things because i consider then as unnecessary...

If they are on a discounted price, I would consider buying them. But I am not really that type that goes for those high-end brands. Besides, with the economic crisis, it's not a good idea to invest your money on expensive clothes. There are more important things that I need to do with my money.

Nowadays i do not because budget is really tight but i used to, buying those quality bags or clothes are investments because they do last for a time! But i have to admit it is so expensive hehehe i have to save for rainy days...

Yeah, it's more practical to save for the rainy days than buy those expensive things. Who knows, sooner you will have spare money to buy those pricey things.
