But it's on sale!

Be it food items, toiletries, or household goods... You KNOW you're gonna need it in a few days or weeks?

If I know I'm going to need it, yes...

I am usually very good when I'm by myself, but if my husband or other family are with me, I am very easily swayed if they point something out.

I hate shopping too, SmifferBug.

But if I see something that I use ALL the time, and it's on sale, I'll usually buy it if I have room to store it.

If it is something that isnt on sale often, then yes. But, things like coffee, toiletries etc that seem to be on sale every other week somewhere...no.

Only with food. If Edys (Dreyers) is on sale, I load up on the Rich and Creamy and some sort of cookie dough ice cream. Same with cereal. I am a sucker for sugar cereals.

ALWAYS! love to shop...love a good sale...yes. I would buy a hunk of s*** on a rope for the right price!!!

I used to be a coupon queen. Wouldn't buy anything unless I had a coupon. But that was when I was a stay at home mom. I don't have time to do that anymore. If it's a really good deal, I'll pick it up and if I can't use it, I'll find someone who can. I know someone who has a store that has a great deal on Tide (200 oz for $8.88) and they buy one every time it's on sale I think. They have a surplus of Tide which means I benefit from the surplus which is always nice....

all of my close friends would tell you that my philosophy is--

If it is on sale, you will eventually use it, it will not spoil, it will not go down in price, and you have room to store it, buy it! That is a no-brainer!

And, if there is ever a world shortage of tp, paper towels, bottled water and a few other things, you know where to find a supply!

I just bought 2 big jugs of laundry detergent because I had a coupon and it was on sale for 8.99.

I'm the biggest coupon whore EVER. I love shopping!!!

If it's something I can use, or something I know I'll need, yes.
For example-on Saturday, I went to get a haircut. My barber usually charges me $12.00 to cut my hair. But on Saturday, he had some kind of sale going on and only charged me $7.00. Of course, that was a bargain, so I had him give me another haircut.

My wife thinks I'm crazy, obviously, but it's ME who had the last laugh. I'M the one who saved $10.00!!!

A man will spend $2 for a $1 item that he needs

A woman will spend $1 for a $2 item that she doesnt need

I know kinda sexist, but think about it ...

Not really .... I will change brands if someting is on sale, but will still buy the same amount.

I dont buy generic brands - but middle of the road prices for most things, except a few items - have to be "top of the line". I will upgrade those middle of the road prices to top of the line if the more expensive is comparable in price. (I have no room for storage!)

But it's on sale!

Do you buy something that is on sale, even if you don't need it at the time?
