Okay. I admit it. I am an addict. No not food. That's a given.
No not food. I am a shopping network junkie. I will find myself watching HSN or QVC for hours. Today they have some crafting on HSN. Anna Griffin has some beautiful things on sale. Making all types of occasional cards with the lace and old Victorian-era stuff that I love. I just watch but would love to be that crafty.
Chef Chris Stone has some great kitchen stuff on there right now. He is great! He brings salmon, steaks, hamburgers, etc. to HSN too.
There are a lot of foods, make-up, and clothes on that I would love to have.
The thing I like about these channels(QVC, HSN, and Shop HQ) is that I can actually afford some of them. They have flex payments which means you can buy something and then you have the option of either paying the entire price at that time or dividing it into payments. You get the item and can pay it off over the next few months. A few other online stores do this but, not many and they started doing this after the Shopping Network was doing it.
Do you watch these sometimes?

No, I don't. I always figure if I didn't need the item before I watched it on TV, then I don't need it at all. I buy some things for the household every month online from Amazon to avoid unnecessary trips out and about, but these are needs, such as laundry soap and such. Not wants. If I don't have the money, I don't buy it. If it's a want only, not an actual need, I think about it. I never buy it the same day, I always give it 24 hours. About 99% of the time, I don't want it at all after 24 hours. Wants and needs to me are very different. I prefer having my wants be special, so I don't indulge very often, and then it is.

I am boycotting Amazon. I don't like the way they treat their employees and several other factors. I don't like monopolies either. I never have 'the money' and rarely buy anything but food and necessities.

It works well for me as I can control the deliveries if I am not going to be home. My budget is very tight, I watch my expenses as well, so I understand that.
