This may be a bit in your face for some of you. But why do you spend all the money that you do on things like handbags, shoes, perfume, etc. when you can get a bunch of other things for cheaper? This isn't a pointing my finger at you question. I just want to know what other women's opinions are. Do you do it to impress others? Do you do it because you can afford it or feel you deserve it? What makes Labels so important to you? Yeah, a lot of times things are better quality and more fashionable. But take a minute and really thing about why you spend $500-$2000 on a purse but you won't buy yourself steak and lobster dinner when you go out to eat.

Myself I don't buy many cosmetics. Those I do are are a deal. Name brands do not mean anything to me. I want value for my money. Those that do spend all that money, must make them feel special or they think that they deserve the best etc. I shop church rummage sales for purses, shoes and clothing. I get good items that are less apt to shrink when washed and they look just fine. Others must find it gross or something else. If not spending money on fancy dinners well it is money eaten and you don't have much to show for it. That is my thought about that. Tis fine those can spend all that money and this lady, like a few others like me, will continue to save our money and spend it on others things we think are more important.

Great answer! I think that's the way to go. You can splurge every once and awhile.
