Jff-what Is Your Retail Weakness?

Stuff for my kids. I can't help myself from buying them stuff. I crave going to Ulta to buy my big girl expensive makeup and I love to pick up beautiful glamorous things for her on the cheap. For my little kids, I see cute clothes, shoes, jackets and don't think twice. It goes in the basket no 2nd thought. I will stand in the bra aisle for 10 minutes agonizing over buying myself a much needed $20 bra. Not think twice about buying them $40 worth of stuff they really don't need.

SHOES!

And kitchen things. High quality EXPENSIVE kitchen things.

Wine stores. And really good specialty food shops.

And SHOES!

:)

Vintage and antique items for my house. I hate to dust, why do I bring more stuff home? But I can't resist those old, one of a kind items with character. I love flea markets, antique stores, and my favorite place for great finds at a bargain: Habitat for Humanity ReStore. It doesn't help that I volunteer there. Way too much temptation.

I am your opposite; I hate hate hate shopping for clothes! I would gladly pay someone to just take care of choosing clothing for me (if I could afford it!) However, I love shopping for art supplies. I go about once a week and I am always happy to splurge on art or craft supplies for the kids. I also love Etsy . com and will buy art prints and decorations from that site as often as I can afford. Oh, and baked goods. That counts as retail, right?

Clothes for my daughter...she's 4 and will be in kindergarten next year and if we end up going with the private Catholic school we are considering, she'll be in a uniform and that will cut into the clothes shopping for her quite a bit. It's so hard when they are so darn cute!

I also have a weakness for jewelry - just indulged in some pieces from Lia Sophia, and it doesn't help that I like making bead jewelry myself, and that I have a friend who is very talented fashioning jewelry pieces also. I make things for myself but also end up buying pieces from her as well.

pajamas. Not the silky sexy ones... the all super-soft cotton ones that I could just LIVE in!! Drawers FULL of them... and I still can't help but touch them when I walk by and sometimes grab some that I don't need.

Gosh, Theresa N! Are we the same person?

Shoes! I buy the shoes and then look for the outfit..

Paper goods and office supplies, Storage stuff.

Fine Crystal.

Really good linens.

So much.. I was a buyer for years. My husband said we saved so much money during that time, because I got to spend other peoples money and was too tired to spend my own!

Misc stuff and junk.

I like to look around the discount stores (Ocean State Job Lot, Big Lots, Christmas Tree Shops) and find the good bargins.

plane tickets

I'll wear the same jeans for 10 years, and patch the bejeebers out of them, to buy plane tickets.

I have friends who spend $1000+ on clothes every year for themselves and their family and then look at me like I'm INSANE for buying plane tickets for less than they spent on clothes.

And food. I'm *highly* sensory. I would rather go hungry than eat tasteless food!

Art, shoes and handbags.

shoes shoes high heels did I mention HIGH HEEL STRAPPY SANDLES

AAAAHHHHHHHHH SHOES

Vera Bradley bags. I have no idea what it is about them, but when the new colors come out, I am at the store that day and have to get something new.

Flip flops and hats.

Pitchers - mostly glass and some ceramic (like Fiesta). I don't know why.

7 For All Mankind jeans, shoes and sweaters. ANYTHING from Anthropologie, my weakness that I satisfy through Ebay purchases :)

It is more like stores that are my weakness ... Ulta, Lush, Ross, Game Stop ... those are mine.

i do LOVE me some makeup. not expensive stuff, can't afford it. but when i stop at CVS or walgreens for rx or anything, i ALWAYS mosey to the makeup & get lipstick, lip gloss, eyeshadow, mascara! ahh!! i'm getting excited right now! lol

now....do i NEED this stuff? do i even WEAR much makeup? heck no. but i love buying it & wearing it (minimally)! weirdo i know! can't help it! my mom & past boyfriends would physically steer me away fr that section b/c they know how i am, lol :)

I love clothes shopping for myself and daughter, if not careful I can go overboard and get us into trouble. I usually do not have designer items, a tad out of my price range, but clothes & shoes are my weakness.

Also little toy items for my daughter but I am working on not buying the little items for her so often.

50-75% off sales...like a siren calling to me. I know the racks, clearance aisles and end caps for miles around.

I cant resist a victorias secret semi annual sale, i stock up on everything naughty and nice at these times of the year.

Clothes for my 4 year old, craft supplies, and I can't keep away from the dollar store.

shoes! I love them.
:)

Books and office supplies!! If there is a paperback and post it note sale...look out!!

shoes and tshirts, like the cozy/sexy fit vnecks, can't have enough of those.

Mine used to be Coats.....All and any type of coat....faux fur, pleather....I justed loved funky costs.

And Designer Jeans. I am a Seven for Mankind Girl....Good thing I stocked up while working at Nordstroms...and I have found the world of second and third hand.

If I could find a pair of Sevens for every day of the rest of my life I would die a happy hippie:) They are the most comfortable thing I have ever put on...

Now days I am happy with a couple of bucks to get a new shirt or something.

I actually feel alot more free to look now, knowing I do not have the money to buy...There is not th urge to splurge, when you have no monies to splurge with;p

I like to shop but not spend a lot of money. The Dollar Store makes me incredibly happy and I don't have any guilt when I leave.

Glad I've never been interested in designer anythings but I do like good work-out clothes and shoes.
