Hi everyone, mylotters who love to shop and love to window shop... he he
Do you find yourself shopping for the same things when you are at the mall?
Like for me, sometimes i will go for shopping and i know what i NEED to buy, but when i am at the mall i have the tendency to buy some stuffs that i see and when i find 'em cute, i would be buying that... only to realize at the end of the day that i have bought the same type of stuffs. like same kind of clothes (when i need to buy office attires) or same kind of shoes / sandals (when i need to buy corporate shoes)...
Are you this kind of shopper too?

Hi Chiyosan!.
I find myself like thats too.
Like this month I am in really tight budget because I plant to buy any thing for thats month including snack and food because we already do our monthly grocery.
So I go to mall just wanna buy a book because its on sale. But in the mall there is a great sale so beside book I buy 2 cute shirt, 1 shirt, 2 short pant and tanktop.
Its almost me cry when I realize how I am not strong to DISCOUNT temptation and good bye saving

I do, even though I know that I shouldn't. I have a lot of repeat clothes in my closet and it would probably be nice if I actually bought something that made me look good for once instead of something that I could just throw on.

Hi,
SO far, I never buy the same things when I am out for shopping.
I will always remember what things I have bought before and I don't
see the point why I should buy again the same thing that I have
it already,unless, I have used up or the thing has spoilt and I
still need it,then I will buy again.

Not me. I like variety. My clothes are simple and I don't accesorize much but I like buying different stuff.
I cant say the same for my cousin. If she likes a particular design, she will buy 2 or three of the same blouse, only with different colors. If you look in her closet, you'll even find clothes which look exactly the same.

Sometimes, I can be. I mean, if there are things that work for me and that I love, I see no harm in getting them several times. But I do like variety as well, and I think it is important. So I do a little bit of both, get some classics and some new stuff to get a good mix. Things goes for both clothing, interior design and other stuff too. I think this is the best way for me!

Im not that kind of shopper. Usually, when I shop, I have a friend with me to tell me if I have that stuff in my closet. And I think I have a good memory on what's on my closet. But when I go to malls, I usually go to bookshops and spend my time doing the book hunting! it is some kinda fun but tiring.
Have a good day!;)

I am not really this kind of shopper but I could appropriately describe myself as an impulsive buyer. I am easily attracted to some stuffs thinking that they can be useful and I will surely be happy if I buy those stuffs. But then at the end of the day when I learned its limitations, I tend to regret of buying such stuff because I find it of no use at all. I bought it just because I wanted it for that moment alone. I'm working on this bad habit of mine though because it's really wasting my money.
