Shop till you drop
07-Mar-21
I love to shop, I love to look at new things that are brought out on the market and I like to get this at a great price. Are you one to wait for specials or do you just buy it because it's trending?

  • Couldn't think of anything worse ...... in and out (of a shop) as quickly as possible .... even the supermarket ....... buy what you need (necessities) ... not interested in looking like a damned clothes horse because it is 'trending' ......

    • Fashion indeed is the way to shop till you drop.
      ·
      • Yes lets just buy tons and tons of shit we don't need and fill up our sad tired little planet with piles of rubbish that just won't decompose...I just cannot wait to find what is "trending", whatever that means...humans?....death's to good for them....

            • I much prefer to get things on special.
              ·
              • Yes I like specials I wish for a bigger special like to be happy
                ·
                • I only shop if I want something and usually never find something I like anyway. Usually don't like the latest thing.

                  • Me like to buy cheap things on very good special at shop and eat it before it goes out of date. This is usually the same day I buy it. Me have to eat it very fast.

                    • No I decide what I want ,I do like to get a good price depending whether I want or I need .I never buy because it's trendy .I like to think even tho I'm a senior, (I hate the word elderly)I like to be an individual.

                              • Wait for the sales or keep an eye out for second hand after looking at trends

                                  • It would be a great way to get many bargains, especially at Sale Time
                                    ·
                                    • Specials are the way to go to stay afloat, don't have a bottomless pit from whence to yank the dosh, just a bottomless pit in general that never seems to fill up. Good luck to you if you can do it, enjoy it while it lasts.

                                          • Neither, I only purchase when I need to replace. It’s nice to look, but we must remember all that goes into land full. Lost of Australian jobs and manufactures to the overseas market

                                              • I buy what I like and don't worry about trends. Love a special, but only if I needed/wanted it in the first place. I hate window shopping. Why look, if you can't buy?

                                                    • Omg yes I love shopping to the extent my wardrobe is now bulging with clothing,shoes and handbags lol.Bit naughty I know but it makes me happy and it helps support the economy.I love a good sale and generally will wait until something I really want is on special but sometimes I will just buy something if I fall in love with it regardless if it is on sale or not.I like to think I have a good fashion sense but I wouldn't say I am completely up with the trends,if I love it that is all I care about not what others think I should be wearing or not wearing.

                                                        • I am a woman or less than 5 feet (just) and when I was young and even a teen it was hard to find clothes for me so it was traumatic at that age and I have hated it ever since. If I find something I like I might buy it but usually I just do what I have to and leave. I have met shopaholics and feel sorry for them as they buy for the buzz and then that's it. I knew a woman who had a storage shed full of purchases never opened. She even sometimes bought the same thing a couple of times as she found it cheaper but again it went into the storage shed - she had no room left in her home. She worked so she could buy things and had a huge credit card debt. Her husband sold their home and they moved to the country away from the Malls etc. I often wonder how that worked out. I have a comfortable townhouse which suits me. I am a minimalist I might add also. At my age, fashion does not fit well so I buy comfy stuff.

Especially during covid when people were cleaning out. They have given me heaps of new clothes with tags still on them. One also gives me food and other products. She buys food and other products that she doesn't use on just to get points. I can't get her to understand that the she would be better off keeping the money. Yep more money than sense!

I don't belong to the fashion throw away family. Buy it, wear a few times and then throw it out for the next fashion. Fools and their money are soon parted.

Special occasions often bring out special discounts! Waiting for the right moment isn't necessary best approach! I think either - waiting too long or rushing into it - can both be short of the best approach! I say choose the right moment that fits - according to your plans and others you're in league with, and then go for it! Don't wait too long and don't rush in either! :-)

Give me a pair of Country Road black jeans any day - perhaps last year's design - over a pair of cheap Kmart jeans. They last for years. Even if they have been previously worn I don't mind but I have found that they are mostly new, having been donated at the end of the season.

As for rushing out to buy the latest trends it reminds me of sheep following each other, I think people get Brain washed that this is the must have thing and then a couple of weeks later it is something else. They get tricked into thinking it is a great price they are buying it for, try selling it for that price a Month later. Just look at Mitsubishi, some cars are for sale for say $34,000 this week, 2 weeks later they are on run out for $30,000, if I brought one I would be brassed off with them. I even know of a Woman whose daughter owned a shop and put tins of salmon on special, she brought about 5 tins, the daughter later realised they had put the wrong sized tins (smaller out) and I have also seen things advertised 3 for a $1, then separately on the self 33 cents each so go figure.

If you ask me, if you think you are trendy because you "buy the latest trend", then you are far from trendy: you are just a puppet for the marketing machine. The coolest thing to be is yourself and buy what YOU LIKE and WANT and NEED and not be influeneced by what others, brands "influencers", celebrities etc say (or are paid to say) and that will always be trendy.
