I want to buy new summer dresses, I want to get those cuyte ear rings, I want to buy a new pair of sun glasses... so many WANTS. I'm not a shopoholic, I don't shop like crazy and all expensive stuff, but once in a while, just want to get pretty stuff to make myself a pretty lady... Oh it really gives me hard feelings of not be able to do that... Do you have hard feelings when you cannot go shopping?

I hate it when I cant go shopping because I love shopping. it really is like therapy, all you have to think about is buying what you want and trying on stuff that looks good on you. you dont have to worry about problems that are causing you stress. i especially love to go when everything is on sale and clearence.

In my opinion, I really love shopping and buy everything when I needs. When I go shopping it depends upon the situations,If I have a lot of money so I go to the mall and buy the needs of my family and sometimes I buy a gift of my partner in life, I really love it...I am so happy if I have a something to buy especial and I give it to my special someone and my friends and my family.Shopping is part of my hobbies.

i like to window shop and see all the new things out for spring, but alas, we are in financial issues at the moment and i cannot afford to buy anything new for spring. so i cant go shopping. (if i do, it just makes me depressed!)

I don't have a hard feelings or get upset if I cannot go shopping. I use to shop a lot but that was when I'm earning a lot from work. Right now I'm just earning trough online sites and through the money I've invested in a lending company and I can't spend much money. It really depends on the situation.

I know how you feel. I don't shop often but nothing is more frustrating than wanting to and can't. I right at the moment have some extra cash and I challenge myself to see how much I can't spend. I picked up a pair of earrings the other day and walked around the store and ended up putting them down. Why? I may want or need something even more later on. It's kind of a game my daughter and I have and we check each other on it....do we really really need it? If we don't buy now then maybe down the road when we really really really really want it...we'll have some cash.

Yea... I know those are a must item, not necessary to get them but just feel like WANT to go shopping once in a while, it is like when you crave for some certain food. Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes I definitely do, Im not an extreme shopper either but there is always that satisfaction and happiness that I get from going into Wet Seal and finding a really cute top or skirt, and thinking of "hmmm i could match it with this or that, or I could wear it out to dinner etc"....and I love going into Sephora at the mall too, getting new make-up to go along with the new cute clothes is always a bonus.....but nooo lately since I lost my job I have to be frugal so no shopping for me :( and now I hate going to the mall when my boyfriend needs to buy a bday gift or my friends want to hang out there, or even when i drive by the mall because it depresses me a little :(

Hello mermaidivy, I was a terrible shopaholic but I stopped after getting married. Now, I only go shopping when I really need to. I don't really go for brands but stuff that make me feel comfortable and within my budget. Sometimes when I can't go shopping, I feel a bit terrible but I try to control myself My husband is one person that always stop me from doing my shopping spree.

I'm completely bing controlled too... I don't say much anyway just somestimes I feel it is unfair that he think spend 3oo bucks on his hobbies is reasonable but when it comes to spending on clothes is a waste of money.

There are times when I really really want to go shopping but I often don't. I keep on reminding myself that I have to save up and that I really shouldn't buy things that I don't really need :P I know that I could shop for bargains and stuff but I'm cutting back on even that! Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I usually don't have bad feeling when i can't go shopping because i now in a couple weeks i can go and get something that i might want. I go to goodwill sometimes and find some cute things. I have found a dress and a skirt the past weekend and that was a good buy. I can wear one of them this Sunday for Easter. When i can't really go shopping i might be able to find some stuff on clearance and enjoy that.

Oh... Lucky you, I don't even get to go to the mall... I would be happy enough to shop at some little store since I haven't done that for a long time...

I love shopping but I live in a town where the shopping sucks and I dont have a whole lot of money right now! I understand that once in awhile you just wanna splurge on something nice like sunglasses or bags or shoes, but dont get all crazy when you cant!

What I normally do is set a limit for how much per paycheck that I'm actually allowed to spend on stuff like clothes - mostly because I work at a retail store so its hard not to decide what I want - and then anything else I refuse to get. Most of the time when I'm home on breaks I'm working just for a little extra cash so I'll put half my paycheck for clothes and being able to spend $100 during breaks gets me through any hard times. But of course there are always those times were you splurge maybe a little bit too much but its never gotten me in trouble.

That's good, you get paycheck every month, I don't get any paycheck because I'm a housewife - no paid job, I enjoy doing though just want to spoil myself once in a while... When I uysed to work, I do similar things like you do too, set a limit for myself, never go over it when shopping so that it won't get myself into trouble. Thanks for sharing!
