Are you all for a sale?

Are you all for a sale or you don't care neither way just so long as you are getting what you want? Does a price tag matter to you? I love a sale, a sale is amazing if you can find it. But I don't mind paying full price if it is in fact something that I just got to have, if I just got to have it, I just got to buy it got to.!!!:)

I love to shop. I have become more of an online shopper these days because of the bargains and the selection. I admit having to wait a little longer is not as appealing but I love the money I save. I even joined a shopping network as I love cash back and the rewards of that have been tremendous. There is a method to shopping online. If you have the patience to wait for your purchase you can almost always pay no tax and buy more because of the money you save. I have seen so much more selection online than I ever see in the stores. Since I am a person who enjoys being different this works for me.

Hi writergirl74, Thank you for your post. I feel like online shopping is nice as well, I have tried it out and I like not having to pay for the taxes, but my problem is sometimes the long wait and I can't stand that, I don't have patience when it comes to wanting to see my purchase items right now at this minute , because I have paid for it all ready and I still don't have it, that's the worst.!!!:)

Okay well lemme put it to you like this...Is it the worst when even though you may have to wait, you paid let's say $3 for a hot shoe that would have normally cost $29? I think waiting two or three days would certainly suffice. Or maybe like me, I need ink for my printer all the time. In the stores this same ink is almost $40 well, I'm way to frugal for that mess. Online, through my shopping network $18 bucks booh and I just simply cannot beat that and don't mind waiting every time. Some things are just worth waiting for. And me saving money and being able to get more is always worth it in my book. Patience is a virtue now isn't it. You might want to rethink that position. You like money and ways on saving it, then you should definitely consider.

Hi Writergirl74, You are totally correct, I like money and tend on saving it by retaining a bargain as possible as I can, every bargain is a great opportunity for me. I was trying to say that I don't have patience for a product that I paid for and I expected it to arrive to me on a certain day and it still hasn't arrived. I have purchased things online, and they gave me the days in which to expect it, and it did't show up until well after that date. I have a problem waiting when I I done already waited, the necessary time.!!!:)

I will make a list of what i need, but if it's on sale bonus. I will buy brands that are on sale to save me money. I know some who simple don't care even if they can price match and get it cheapier.

Hi, 911Ricki, I think that you said some smart things, if you can spot a sell why not go for it, and it you can't then just simply get what you need and call it a day. I am like that as well, I am all for a sell if there's one but I don't mind paying the price if I want something.!!!:)

It saves you money in the long run, why not get the sale if you are already going for that item. I just wrote out my list and found some good sales to get my hands on.

I love sales too. Well, more specifically I love 2nd hand shopping. I find some AMAZING deals and I get 10 times as much clothes (and other things) for the same price. I don't hardly ever go retail shopping. I got a pair of Uggs last year for $6 in almost new shape. Awesome!

Hi, Maezee Thank you for your comment. I think that it is a great thing when you can find things on sale and then if you can 2nd hand shop that is amazing as well. Great that you are skilled in this area and manage to find things, a bang for your buck. !!!:)

If I want to buy something I used to wait for sales in department stores (which usually coincides weekend just after payday)due to discounts that I got. I noticed however that due to store-wide discounts on almost all items I usually ended up buying other things that I don't really need hence, now if I really need something I just buy it even if it's not on sale and don't wait for sale promos to avoid spending more on unnecessary items.

Hi Namiya, I think you said something so true, because I do this a great deal to. I may go into a store that has a sale and focus on buying that particular item to save on money, and still manage to purchase something as that is not even on sale so what am I really saving, I spending more then intended. !!!:)
