Do you buy branded items at regular price?

I like to have some branded items, but I never buy them at regular price because they're just so expensive. When they go on sale, that's when I go into shopping frenzy. I buy not only for myself but for others, and for future use as well. If I find really nice stuff that can be given as a gift, I buy them. Oh, I'm such a hoarder! But the good thing is these things come in handy when there's a party or birthday and the stores are not on sale at that given time. I like bargain hunting and feel really good with cheap but fabulous finds. I'm the type who can find the nicest gift at a quarter of the price. I believe it's a talent and gift rolled into one:P

Well, I also like to buy branded items... but I do it online. I like the convenience and the lower prices that are usually on offer. I regularly buy from an auction site called: www.jobzone.netfirms.com/JobZone%20Auctions.htm every Wednesday they have Crazy auctions where there's NO reserve price and the auctions start at R1 per item. You should see how crazy it gets as everyone scrambles to get the best bargains. Phones, electronics, clothing etc... you should visit them sometime.

Yes. I found the best place to shop for nice, name brand clothing is Gordman's or Burlington Coat Factory. Also Plato's Closet is great. Plato's Closet is a resale store. They take nice name brand clothes and resell them at a cheaper price. They also sell cds, books, purses, shoes, picture frames, candles and things like that. They have brands like Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, Silver, Mudd, and many other brands. I find many good things and a cheap price. I also like to go to Kohl's when things are on sale. They always have a great sale every week. A lot of things are up to 80% off.

Anytime :) I guess my 'gift' comes with some kind of luck. I noticed that whenever I need to buy something, I always end up getting the exact thing that I wanted at a very good price. Whenever I shop, I go around and look at the tags of nice things that catches my fancy. It's surprising that some of them are actually affordable, and you wouldn't know it unless you check the price. You know how some people don't bother checking the tags because the item looks expensive? They presume it is and they miss the opportunity to have a great buy :)

I only have one or two items i was actually given as a gift by a friend of mine that buys the stuff wholesale. I never really thought to go out and buy them. I always thought they would be way above the budget i could afford. I have only bought a guess bag from ebay once at a very decent price and i was happy with that purchase as the quality and value of the item was worth it.
