Do you shop at the $1 store, then lie about it?

I love shopping at the dollar store. I don't see nothing wrong with shopping their either. I don't lie about shopping their. I always find great items there at a very cheap price. Theres alot of name brand items at the dollar store. I shop at the Dollar Tree store every weekend, I love that store. The employees know my name now. Some people love bragging about the brand name items that they bought at expensive stores. I guess they think it is cool.

heck no I dont lie about it. I'm always very proud of my great 1.00 dollar finds. I tell everyone. I see nothing wrong with being thrifty.

I do not come from a rich family so I spend every cent smartly. I do not have any fancy handbag or fancy shoe in my closet. However, i know some people who will buy a fake brand Gucci at China street and still brag about it in front of their friends or colleague that it was an limited original Gucci bought by her 2nd bf, etc.. The dishonesty is so disgusting.

I know why they say they got it somewhere else is because they are snobs. I have a friend who buys jewlery from Avon. Avon has great stuff, we were somewhere and someone admired her ring. I said she got it at Avon. She was so mad at me she did not speak to me for hours. I asked her why. She said "Because I think Avon is cheap and I do not want anyone to know I buy cheap jewlery". Well I love a bargarn. I do no care if I got something for $0.99 or more. I am proud when I find a bargin

I never really bought shoes or any other kind of apparel items at the dollar store, but I do buy household items there. They are cheaper and its the same item that is sold in other retail stores. I don't care too much about the "made in China" or where ever. Because these are just the everyday items that you use and its consumable so they will be replaced frequently. Plenty of people buy things at the dollar store and I don't really know anyone who lie about it unless they are extremely wealthy. I really can't imagine someone lying about saving money. If my friend found a nice deal on something that I was looking for I would really want them to tell me.

I only lie about where I shop (the large Salvation Army nearby = my real favorite place)so I can keep the good clothes and prices to myself. I'm just a very greedy person so it's natural for me to lie! I'm having trouble deciding whether that type of greed is normal or just plain sick XD But yeah, I would never be embarrassed about where I get any of my things, if i like something cheap, I get it no matter what anyone else thinks since most of the time I could care less about people's opinions anyway.

I don't lie about it. I brag to people. I'll tell them when I find a great deal at the dollar store. Why should I pay department store prices if I don't have to? I think that's silly to do and I feel like I'm the better shopper for finding such deals. I happen to love the dollar stores and I buy a lot of good things there. I let others know too when I find a great deal so they can get them as well if possible. I also love finding new stores to go to :) That can be lots of fun because no two stores have exactly the same things.

Some people might feel inadequate shopping at a discount store, almost like they are admitting defeat. Other people would be proud to show off the 'bargain' they got.. I guess pride is the biggest factor.

I do shop at a affordable stores but i am ashamed of that instead i am proud of that because i know how to manage and budget my money.My friends also looking for a store that sells affordable items so i will be proud then.

It's beyond me why anyone would lie about things like that. Don't they realize people can spot dollar store items right off, well, for the most part. I have known people like that too. Heck. I'm proud of a bargain I don't care if people know I'm cheap.

Nope, I don't lie about it. I love it when I get a good deal..I clip coupons, I shop for stuff that's on sale whenever possible, and I sometimes go to the Dollar Store, Family Dollar, Dollar General or wherever cuz I can't see paying 5.00 for something I can get the exact same thing for 1.00. That's just stupid. I mostly buy cleaning products and household stuff at the Dollar Store, but sometimes I buy other stuff too. I always spend 30.00 or 40.00 when I go in one of those stores unless I'm really poor that day..but I get a HECK of a lot more stuff for my 30.00 at the Dollar Store than at a regular store. I also love thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales, and the Salvation Army..and Big Lots. If someone wants to think they're better than me cuz they can spend 3x or more the amount of money I spend for the same stuff.. good for them..LOL

I'm cheap and I'm proud! My mother in law is a manager at a Family Dollar, so she lets us know when there are really good deals there. We're poor, so we have to save where we can. And if I get something for super cheap and someone asks where I got it, I have no problem telling them. I really don't know why someone would lie about it though. Nobody I know would lie, we're all pretty poor, haha.

I have friends that do the same thing. Some of these friends also hate it when I ask them to go with me, but they usually find something cute and buy it. I love $1 stores, the one we had in my town went out of business, and I miss it! I also love to shop second hand stores to find great bargains, and most of my friends hate that, too, and garage sales. Maybe I need new friends or something, because I love to find bargains, and who cares if it is not brand new, as long as it is in good shape! tdbrower1969

My friends shop at the one dollar store too. I try not to buy Christmas or birthday gifts there, because they'll all know that I paid a buck or less for their gift. It's kind of awkward. But the candy prices are good. And, they have cute kids books, way cheaper than the Walmart. So, no, I don't deny it. I'm proud to be a cheap mom!

I love the dollar stores. I am a regular. I do not lie about my dollar store purchase I am proud to tell folks about my deals from the dollar stores.

No, I don't see why I should have too. I find a lot of really nice stuff there and whenever someone asks I tell them I got it at the dollar store. My partner and I found some really nice unfinished wooden boxes there for $1. I bought two of them and she bought one because it was really too much of a great deal to pass up. A friend of us had asked where we bought them because she wanted some and we told her. If it's cheap and it'll work, I don't see the point in lying about it. I mean, like you said, if you can get it for over half of what other stores charge, what's the big deal?

Yes, I sure do go to the dollar store. I don't lie about it because I figure it is a good place to get many things that I need. For example, they have sugar free candy that I love, they have some cleaning products that are good. I use glade plug-ins and they can be expensive, but they have them pretty cheap and I think that some things such as wrapping paper and such are sold there for cheap. Have a nice day. Pablo

It is a shame that this 1$ shop doesn't exist in Portugal. It would be great to buy things at 1 dollar. And I guess I would make my friends jealous about the stuff I would buy in this stores.

I don't lie. I am proud of the things I get for $1.
