Do you buy according your needs.....???

It's just if i saw that caught my attention.. ^^ like while i'm walking in the street and i saw someone selling things that i like.. of corz if i have means i will buy it for sure.... hehehe

I always make a list before I go shopping, however if I see something on offer, that is not on the list I will purchase it, because it will save me money in the long run and it is something that I will use. I also have coupons as well which I take with me, every penny helps as they say.

I am such a huge cheapskate that I just buy according to what I need in life. I think that I have saved a lot of money over the years and each day, I find new and inventive ways to shave a few bucks here, and a few bucks there off of my income. There are times where I might let the wallet open just a little bit more but those times are few and far between. Mostly around the holiday season. Still for the most part, I buy according to my needs in life.

I used to be like that, see something I like online, I won't even consider whether I need it really or not. I might simply take out my credit card, punch in the number and make the purchase of it. Later, I just discovered I don't need it that much. Maybe that item was sitting in the table collecting dust. That happen to me lots of times, and I am truly mad at myself right now. Randomly spending money without thinking about it.

Hi, I always like to spend my money according to my budget. But sometimes I buy according to my wants. If we don't go according our budget our next month's budget may get disturbed. If I have some extra money then I can buy the things according to my wish.

Hi friend, i am not interested in buying unwanted things, i am an organized person and always purchase the things whichever needed, this kind of activities will help us to save money

I do try to buy everything that I need, all money that is excess of what i need to be paying for must go to a savings, but then if that is not quite possible, I would usually just not go out so i would not be tempted to buy anything that i do not really need.

when it comes to food shopping i aways buy what i need. food is so expensive and I really try to stay away from any and all junk food. once in a while if i find a really great sale of junk food I will give my kids a treat. but for the most part i rather stick to the stuff we need. it's saves me lots of money

Hi Hanum, I agree with you that, when you make a list , you do stay within your budget and dont overspend on unnecessary things.Sometimes, I can be quite impulsive when I go out shopping and end up buying things that I had not really planned on buying and forget those I had to buy lol...Now , I am being very careful not to do that often, so make a list each time I go out , also don't carry much money in my wallet( but carry my debit cards just in case )....On the whole I am able to balance my monthly budget so, I guess it is alright to splurge once in a while without getting hurt

When i go shopping I always make a list before hand, the way I used to shop is just randomly seeing something I like and buying it then getting to the checkout and being surprised that I went over budget. So yeah nowadays I just buy what I know I need, not what I want.

I usually set out of the house with a list of what I want to buy. I go a three storey shop where they sell everything from groceries to toiletries to poultry and meat to electronics etc. I just have to take a stroll from any aisle and I find a product which is not in my list. By the time I have gone through all the aisle where I will find the items on my list, Half or more of my basket is full of things that were not on my list. So making a list is also not very useful where not buying what I dont need is concerned.

There are times when I really want to buy what I want but I cant cause there's no budget for it. Anyway, I just buy whatever it is that I needed. Its very important to control a want or else a needs are going to be affected.

Yes, mostly I only shop for what I need especially for grocery. But when I go to a mall, often I went home with a new dress, a new pair of shoes or bag. Of course, I don;t really need them, but I found excuses to buy them.

Hello. I am on a very tight budget so what I buy now are the basics that I need at home. I always have a list with me whenever I go to the market so that I buy what I really need. I buy things that I want after I had save up

I think it is a good idea to buy things we need. I also try to make a list of things that I need to buy and try to avoid things I do not want to buy. I think by doing so I will be able to save money and also need to buy things only I need. I think budgeting is one of the best way to save money.

I never make a list before I go shopping. I buy by impulse. I just go to the store and go down every aisle and buy what I like when I see it. Some thing I do know I need before I go into the store, like milk and bread, but most things I buy on impulse. The only time I have a list to go shopping is if I am making some special dish that I need to buy ingredients for. Then I will write it down or I will end up forgetting something I need as it would be something I don't normally buy on a regular basis. I do forget to buy the neccessities sometimes. Sometimes I go just for milk and bread and lunch meat and then come home with everything but what I needed. Then I end up going back because I need that something different for the recipe I am making or I end up scraping the recipe and making something else with what I have in the house and then I get upset with myself for not going back. hee hee Cheers, Chris

My husband and I don't have much money to play around with. Our budget is usually pretty tight. So, for the most part, we usually just try to get what we need, and keep an eye open for sales, and such. We would feel a lot better if we weren't on such a tight budget, but the fact of the matter is that we are, and we just deal with it as best as we possibly can.

We use to buy a lot of things that we never really needed or wanted when we went shopping, but now we do not. I try to work out all the meals that we are going to eat during the week and shop for what we need, as we are trying to save a lot of money, rather than waste it like we have been tending to do. If I see something that we use a lot of and it is less on the week that I go shopping, then I tend to add two of the things, in order to save a few pounds the rest of the month.

Hi CTHanum, i always buy according to my needs and according what's listed to my grocery list. Also I always make sure that I am full or had some snacks before going inside the grocery to prevent or avoid myself from getting any unhealthy foods and drinks.

Hi there ! It is my principle to buy only things that i need and limit my wants . I should not outlive my income because this will give trouble to our monthly budget but an exemption to this when it is my birthday . When it is my big day i usually reward myself for whole year i've been working hard and doing good deeds i guess i deserved a reward so i buy things that are my passion like slippers . I don't looked at the price . I bought it with a happy heart but the rest of the days i follow that certain rule and it is really effective because seldom i can run out of budget and getting of loans from here to there. Try it yourself friend !
