Um....I mean that literally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782443 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:29:04 +0000 cciele 782443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, guilty. Broke down and bought some crazzeeee shoes during the Solestruck sale. I think overshopping is more of a problem than overeating for me this time of year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782425 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:54:54 +0000 Sylvie 782425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year I spent a *lot* during the holiday shopping season. This year, I'm doing a balancing act with my budget. So many beautiful things but I'm almost to the end of my yearly allotment. Eek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782410 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:45:15 +0000 catgirl 782410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just caved on my last purchases for the year because of the Nordie's 10 point sale. Ugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782405 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:41:52 +0000 Lisa 782405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also struggle with not purchasing at this time of year. Christmas shopping becomes "one for them and one for me" shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782345 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 19:18:53 +0000 keruchina 782345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for turning off the promo emails. It has helped me so much! </p> <p>I can be an emotional and impulsive online shopper. Taking a moment to deliberate and consider "why" I want to make a purchase has been helpful. I don't set any rules-- I'm just trying to be more aware of my behavior. </p> <p>Good luck and stay strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782320 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:46:50 +0000 ironkurtin 782320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782309 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:37:01 +0000 JR 782309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shop your list. :o)</p> <p>Yeah, I'm finding it kind of tough too. So far so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782250 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:37:01 +0000 Mo 782250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got on the wrong side of a cyber Monday sale by not waiting it out and buying last week. Those darned Dansko Veda's went down more, but hey, what is $10 in the grand scheme of things?!<br /> The sales on pretties sure can be tempting . . . but it is wise to keep to what you already had on your list and not get swayed into new things just because. Shut down your browser!! lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782247 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:34:10 +0000 ManidipaM 782247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And hey, sometimes serendipity strikes in those sales! I went looking for new innerwear (I seem to be outgrowing them every other month!) and found the perfect tunic at half price instead---which suddenly makes perfect sense of my *summer* impulse purchase of fleece-lined red tights! I didn't *think* I needed a tunic, was planning to wear those tights with skirts, but hey, this is easier and comfier still </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782202 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:06:56 +0000 Anonymous 782202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I am indulging my shopping jones by buying stuff for other people that need it, like my kids and my husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782201 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:05:37 +0000 modgrl 782201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there something you really need? My kids both needed replacement sneakers. I was able to get them at 20% off and free shipping. Also, I am buying a duplicate pair of replacement flats. Last year I needed new PJ's and got them on a good sale. I would say unless there is something you NEED, Turn Off Promo Emails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782195 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:52:50 +0000 Mochi 782195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made the costly mistake of stumbling on sales these past few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782176 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:31:52 +0000 TraceyLiz65 782176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! I don't succeed, I always cave..... then ask my husband to give it to me for Christmas... He does,but insists on something to surprise me as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782158 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:14:40 +0000 Raisin 782158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes....and the sales come it, just to tempt us.....I think today is cyber Monday...must stay off the web shops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/every-year-at-this-time-i-swear-off-shopping-then#post-782151 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:11:13 +0000 ironkurtin 782151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many lovely things!
