do sale in stores attracts you to buy things? is it worth it to buy from sale? for me, sale really attracts me. i buy a lot of my stuff from sale because its cheaper compare to its regular price. how about you?

hi there... me too! but you know, sometimes, sale do make me spend money for an item that i don't need... hehehe... it's a want..... but if it's a need...then i am very grateful to have savings, may it be as little as 10% and up to 70-80% discounts... wow... hahaha... and having credit cards on hand can make it so tempting... i have to exert self-control because i simply love clothes, shoes, bags, etc. sometimes, i wish i can shop till i drop... hahahaha... guess i have to mylot alot... how are you today? happy mylotting!!!

Sales do attract me and I do look through them before I move on to the other items. I like to see if I could find something wonderful for a great deal. My best friend buys a lot of things on sale rather than buying them at full price. Hey why not? You get save some money right?

hi there... yeah.. it's better to save and think of saving... i just heard that it's necessary to set aside atleast 20 to 30% of each month's savings. hehehe...

I like shopping sales! The only good thing about shopping sales is when you only buy what you actually need and skip the impulse buy. One thing sales show you is just how large the mark-up is in the first place. I almost always never pay full price for things, if they're selling it, it will eventually be on sale for a lower price. Sometimes it's something you need right now and have to have, so that's the only time I'll pay full price. But still....I will call around and see who has it cheaper lol. Shopping sales is a good thing to do, nobody else but you is going to save you any money on things unless you do it yourself.

Absolutley, that is practicaly the only time I go out shopping now other than for groceries. I always wait and see when my favorite stores are having good sales and I will always plan ahead for them so I know what I want to get and about how much I will end up spending on them.

hmmm sales attract me to come over and check out stuff, but it doesn't necessarily attract me to actually buy things. i think if you are patient and you have a good eye at spotting great merchandise on sale, i think it's really really worth it. unfortunately for me, i'm not that kind of person. sales attract me, yes, but usually, i end up buying nothing. i'm not very aggressive you know so i'm easily intimidated by the jostling and digging into the giant piles of clothes people sort through. i have been to sales where i really got awesome stuff at low prices but it's been a while since i actually got something nice on sale. there was this one time when i went to this sale and i ended up buying stuff that weren't on sale. i guess i'm not a very good shopper and i usually buy the expensive stuff. on the other hand, i have a friend who is a really really good shopper. she's really good at spotting awesome outfits which are like 70% off. i'm so jealous of her lol i would ask her "where did you get this? how much?" and she would name some store and quote a really really good price and i would be whining like i am now hahahah i honestly wish i was a smarter shopper because then i would be better at taking advantage of sales and just make the most out of my money in general.
