Oh yes, who doesn't love a good bargain, I love to get the junk mail catalogues and get things just a little cheaper than what the full price usually is...its almost like a game to me...

There's a lot of excitement in bargain hunting. The more we find cheaper items, the more excited we become.

I am a bargain hunter, but right now, I am only bargain hunting things I really need. There are no extras in my budget.

My BF loves to tease me..."Do you ever buy anything that isn't on sale?" I go to the clearance racks first when I go to the local clothing stores. I watch for mark downs on my food stuffs, go to clearance racks for shoes and when it comes to getting a car it takes me nearly three months to find just the right one!!! I love to see how far I can stretch my dollar... and I usually do a pretty good job of it.

Even I do love to get the best bargain. And I do bargain a lot. But more than me my husband is a very good bargainer. So I enjoy shopping with him

I'm a bargain hunter. I love looking for good buys... but not on a mallwide sale. I hate mallwide sales. There are just too many people and some stores don't even allow fitting the clothes so you end up buying something that doesn't fit. Whenever I go to mallwide sales, I usually stay for only an hour, tops. I only buy bags coz it's easier to go through racks of bags than clothes and shoes where you usually have to look for the other pair. Now, I usually do my bargain hunting online. Believe it or not, there are some really good stuffs on the net. I've been into online shopping for several months now and I'm loving it. Aside from good buys, you get to do shopping at the comfort of your own home. At least, I can look after my baby while shopping.

well i do like going to stuffs a lot but lately i been put off from going surfing owing to my friend's unfortunate event at a mall for a hard bargain.. apparently he met his teacher at a mall he was just browsing and he considered accompanying his teacher thinking of gaining some extra credits at school.. well wanted a pair of shoes so he went along with his teacher to one store and selected apparently a costly one.. he had only started bargaining when his teacher stated that they will take it for half the prize of what the owner was asking.. my friend was dumbstruck and heartbroken when the owner simply showed the shoes into his hands with a satisfied smile on his face.. he could have bought that shoes anywhere else for half what he had to pay for them..

i am very much a bargain shopper, i don't want to spend on items not on sale or way too expensive stuff... i even haggle when i shop at flea markets , and i think i/m pretty good at that... and when i shop i go about every item there is and choose the best among the rest...it satisfies me when i know i didn't spend much and still got a good buy at that.

That is pretty much the only kind of shopping I do these days. Things are getting more and more expensive so I have to limit what I spend. I usualy wait for sales to come since i am able to get more for less.

I am a bargain hunter and proud of it! Bargain hunting is a valuable skill that helps me provide for my family in the best way possible. It is more than just buying something cheap--it's about searching for the best possible deals on the things you truly need or want. And I don't restrict my hunt to the malls either. Sometimes malls or department stores have some decent sales, but I have also seen some stuff that is overpriced even when it is on sale. I often shop at thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales, you name it. There is nothing better than the feeling of spotting a true find, that gem among the piles of junk. I also browse all my weekly grocery flyers and clip coupons. In short, I look for bargains whenever and wherever possible. It has become second nature to me.

Yes I love it too! It is so much fun as long as it's for things that I don't really need. These days I bargain shop for the things that my family needs so it isn't much fun. When we do have the extra, my husband and I both go and we have a lot of fun!
