Do You Ever Get The Urge To Shop?

Shopping! Who could ever resist it especially us ladies?! I always have the urge to shop whenever I'm in the mall, even when I'm on a shopping ban (which I impose to myself) . Sometimes I'm successful in resisting it, at other times, I'm not . I just have to ensure that the things I buy are what I really need. The last time I went shopping was the other week, in preparation for a weekend getaway that time.

I always have the urge to shop specially if there are sale items but I have to control myself because of this tough economy, every penny counts. I must be wise in spending money. I always go for needs not for wants. If I can still manage without that certain stuff that are on sale, I will not spend although there is an urge inside me to buy it.

I do sometimes get the urge to shop. I buy myself things sometimes but other times I go out and buy stuff for my son or my husband. I try not to do it too often though because I'm trying to save some money. I do like to shop sometimes though. I think it kinda relaxes me. :-)

Yes I do ....but not for clothes or things like that..it's usually supplies for my craft room! I hate grocery shopping and right before that is clothes shopping....I can't ever find things I like...and I do love finding new things for my house!

Was it just for a typo?! I responded to the previous discussion, and I was surprised when I got the notification that it got deleted. Anyway, I think my response there was about my urge to shop something for the house. I think it was for the backyard, or gardening. I couldn't remember exactly.

Oh YES definitely! Shopping is my outlet if i feel down, or I just want to treat myself. but mostly when I'm down. I have to just buy a new blouse or shoes, then I feel good again. =

Is that the reason they gave you for deleting this? I have an urge to lose weight, then I can shop my own closet. I do need new bras. I actually broke down at the beginning of the season and got a good new swimsuit and paid a lot more for it than I usually do. I am out of work, and I am not sure that my unemployment is going to continue, so I mostly shop for food.

i resist because i dont have money and do not use credit cards so i grab a good book instead. i do like to just shop, just to see the styles that are in the stores.

I always get this urge, particularly when I have had a good day at work and know that I have earned a fair amount of money that day. The thing that I do though, is that if I've earned say $100 in a day, I will go online or to the shopping centre and end up spending way more than that amount, meaning that I might as well just have taken the day off work in the first place. But never mind, I love shopping, and I love the feeling that I get when I find some new clothes which just look absolutely amazing on me. I like to be able to look in the mirror and realise that I'm not as bad looking as I think I am, and sometimes you just need some nice new clothes to be able to do that.

Hi Stephanie Ann C: This actually happends to me when I get my monthly payment but I try my best to buyt the things I need, I make financial plans because if you invest your money on the first thing that comes to your mind you won't enjoy your money. I also spend part of my money on the things I enjoy the most: collecting CDs, DVDs, buying a wii for me. ALVARO

Okay I was confused when I saw the notifier but then see your comment below. Okay once again, I repeat you should have taken me to get the new sandals and tops, I would have had a blast with you. lol I don't pay out of pocket for any clothing and or accessories I shop for because I am still a name brand bill board, but you knew that. lol... The only thing I get an Urge to do is respond to your discussions.

Yes I have my share of those times! It was only yesterday. I bought jacket, umbrella, underwears...I can't buy dresses, skirts, and all because when I was at the mall I didn't like the present designs and cuts. My urge to shop also extends to grocery items like tonkatsu sauce, different spices, etc. And by the way, does food tripping count? I had that yesterday :)

Never got that urge to shop. I buy only stuff i really need but on the other hand my girlfriend buy anything she likes no matter if its useful or not :|.

Yes, I always have the urge to shop. Shopping is for women, but sometimes I buy things that are not necessary or I have almost the same type of dresses. So, before I shop I take a look at my closet first and see which I need to buy. During shopping, if the item I want is too expensive, I won't buy it, and leave. After a week and I still want it, that's the time I go back and buy it. It helps a lot. Saves money and can help you decide if you really need the item. Women are always compulsive during shopping, this might help you, manage.
