In this times of crisis and all the prices were going high do you still find time to shop? Are you able to buy all the things you wanted to buy? Do you think shopping is just a waste of money or its a need that anyone of us? I rarely shop these days and I only shop those that are really needed due to my budget and I don't have that enough extra money on my pocket and its the main reason why I don't go shopping often. How about you? Thanks for sharing in advance!

Besides groceries and other necessities I am lucky if I can get out twice a month. With prices going up so high I have been resorted to bargin shopping. I mostly only go out shopping when some of my favorite stores are having sales and will try not to spend too much even then.

We go once in a week and it is after work so as to save some fuel. We could not go shopping mostly due to budget limitations this days and we need to save some money. We only buy what we really need right now.

That was a good way to save on fuel. I think buying what is really needed is a must nowadays.

I just go to shoppingif I really need it. I go to sopping mall once a week and I always all what I have to buy in notebook before go to shop mall. If I do not like that so , my money will be gone. I will buy anything what I like. That's what I call shopping management. Some times it help me..

I am glad I am not like that with my clothes though I really have a hard time before I got to choose what to wear nor buy. But like you I love to shop for groceries a lot.

I don't shop for myself that much.But we do shop often for our daughter's needs and wants.She's on her teens and so many buy this and that.We try to give her anything that she needs.Might not totally give everything in one time but little by little we try to give her the luxurious things that she wants.

Hi ayessa... It's funny as I had just started a discussion related to this...it relates of shopping too. Though your sentiments of crisis and tight money are valid, I think when there is a need to buy things out of budget, a good solution would be to go where prices are at the least it could get...try to get the most value from your money. Shopping may not be bad, as long as you know how to control it and where to go so you can afford to shop. Window shopping...that's affordable anytime and would be as satisfying if only to one's eyes...lol. Happy mylotting...
