Man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs while a woman will pay $1 for a $2 item

Hello Bluemoon What a lovely discussion, and to be honest I had to think about what answer to give you. Well when I have a financial surplus and dont need to think to much on my finances and such I am likely the woman type, but then in the period where I am unemployed or have a lower income than normal I turn into the man type. In other words I so-so know my financial limit and if i can afford it. But sometimes I do indeed get home with some unnecessary stuff, which woman dont?

Haha - so the stereotype boils down to: men are cheap and women are EXTRAVAGANT! Mwahaha. Just kidding. I fall somewhere in between. I am not the typical "woman" shopper (whatever that means). I actually really, really hate shopping, unless I'm in a certain mood (which is rare). I like to get in and get out, although occasionally I'll buy something on impulse. So I guess I'm stuck in between!

I just buy what i need, sweetie. I never was one for shopping and probably never will be. TATA.

This discussion reminds me of my boyfriends mother where she always says you have to spend to save. Me I have learned to only buy what I need, a little splurging is quite alright, but when does splurging become too much. Yes I also agee, that my boyfriend does not look at pricing and I will spend the $1 while he grabs something in plain sight for the identical item for $2.

Haha, I sound funny, I like the think you post.

At one time it probably applied to me. If I needed the item then I just bought it quickly and paid no attention to the price. Now though I am a more careful shopper. I check prices as I pass the item in different stores when I'm there for some other purpose. Sometimes I even write the price to see what other places are charging. I want value for my money these days and hate to pay more when I could have paid less. I'm a more wiser shopper these days.

hi bluepavilion nope not me I shop smart if I really need it I will find it at a lower price even if I have to go over a dozen stores to find it. Otherwise if I have emnough money I will bujy somthin that I really need at once.

Nope, I'll pay $1 for a $1 item that I do need, but I'll be really happy if I get a coupon for it and it's less.

There was a time (a LONG time ago....before kids) that I could spent my entire paycheck at the mall in one day. I was young and single so it wasn't a big deal back then. Now, however, I only buy what is needed and even then I am so frugal I could probably write a book about it! LOL I love getting the best bang for my buck and rarely pay full price for anything.

I absolutely hate going into stores! And I only do it if I have to. Before I get in, I would already have a mental list of the things I need to buy, so I just get in, and get out. I would like to think of myself as thrifty, but If I really need it, I wouldn't go around wasting my time looking for cheaper versions of it. I wouldn't mind paying $2 for a $1 item if it means I don't have to waste a couple of hours looking for the 99cent version of the item.

that is true!but i am not not that type of person.i don't buy things unnecessary.but i always fall into the trap of buy 2 with less price!because sometimes the real is we don't need that much but we tend to spend for that 2 items for less price.but it is okay for me as i can save budget for the next month shopping.

I tend to negate the statement. I don't like to pay for an item more money than its value. I'm a man. And it's hard to say what is needed indeed. For example, makeups, for me and most of men, it's totally unnecessary, but what about for women, especially for girls?

I am more thrifty than my fiancee for sure but I rarely buy things I do not need. I used to do it when I was younger though, but luckily, you get more clever with time, haha, so I have stopped doing that by now. But in general, I think there may be some truth to that!

what needs to buy any stuff of we no need any way even get discont or buy 1 get 1 for free , is that stuff not use for we cloths or in kittchen but i never women type if i want to buy anything because i a man i buy and make some offers to sales man .

I am the woman type mentality. I will pay money for something I don't really need. My husband and I are actually both that way at times, and we are trying not to be. We are stopping our shopping for things we don't need, in fact the only thing we will be purchasing over the next few months is gas, and something for each other on our anniversary. I am not sure we will even buy anything for Christmas.

Never heard it put quite like this, but I think it's true! Women are usually much more frugal and much better shoppers. Men, I feel, are impatient and just want instant gratification even if they end up paying more for it. Funny! :)

I believe in this.., haha.., because., I am naturally a compulsive buyer.., When I see something I really like.., regardless of the price or if I really need that item.., as long as I can afford that at that instant, I would buy it.., But men.., wouldn't do the same..,=_=

what was that give us the details ?
