Didn't buy a single thing

Summer sales will end this month, for the first time I didn't buy a single thing for me
I haven't visited stores and I also haven't ordered a single piece of clothes or shoes, sandals or sneakers online 
I haven't had the need so far to buy new things which is weird for me as I always love to get bargains in sales.
I have enough summer clothes I guess, besides that I think we should be more careful with our money and spend it wisely.
Have you bought new clothes this season?

Sure did! Walmart had thick to shirt for 1.50, got last 2 black ones, 2 dollar one got one. Then tank tops Hanes, 5.99 so got 4 of them My t- shirts & tank tops were so worn, so I began window shopping for them. These I just couldn't pass up! Got a Mr. Coffee for only 16.99 with a gift card. Yippee!

It is good that you have a good control of your shopping. When there is a sale in stores people flock to it.

Because of the virus, I have cut my spending drastically, and haven't been doing any shopping except for groceries.

@nela13 Fortunately my daughter is 20 and she buys her own clothes and shoes, and my son is 17, but I think he's done with his growth spurt for now, so I haven't had to buy him any news clothes so far this year. He doesn't need new school clothes this year either, as all his classes are online, so that will save me some money.

@moffittjc I know I will need to buy my kids new clothes for this school year. Here they will have classes in the school.

@nela13 You're right! I feel the same way. However, this year I will need some new winter clothes, since we won't be going to Florida. I will have to call my friend at SAKS and have her help me pick out some things. I will look online first to see what's new. I won't need much, because I don't go anywhere. lol

@nela13 Many young people in Australia have had a very good life. Some earn incredible wages but have spent it on big houses, flash cars, etc and suddenly the rug has been pulled from under them. And it's too late to save now. If we get back to normal, they may look at things a bit differently.

I agree with you that we have to be wise with our money these days, I could see a recession or another great depression just on the horizon, our country is officially already in recession just a few days ago
. I have enough clothes but I would buy only if I really need a particular item.

@nela13 I did buy some online. I don't like to buy from the stores since a lot of people may have touched it already.

That's good you didn't need to participate in the sales.
Yes, I bought a few new things. A pair of water shoes, a pair of sandals - the most comfortable pair I ever owned, two shirts, and a couple more pairs of shorts. I will probably buy more pants come fall as the ones I have are getting too big and that's a good thing.

No reason to buy stuff if you don't need it or want it. You'll end up saving more this way. I have not bought anything really since the pandemic hit, except for a few books.

@nela13 I usually never buy books and borrow from the library. There are a few authors though whose books I always buy.

@nela13 I have to be careful since I might need to assist my relatives if a hurricane comes in our area.
