Rachy, taking Lilypup for a walk is brilliant. I mean...er...how considerate you are to ensure she receives an adequate amount of exercise...yeah, that's it!</p> <p>Angie, I think you're on to something. If Rachy's store allows dogs, surely mine might allow a "dog" with hooves, yes? And Tango would eat all the delicious paper price tags off before we got home. GOOD BOY.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version/page/2#post-1825915 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 04:14:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that is an apt description of my DH and me, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version/page/2#post-1825781 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:48:24 +0000 Anonymous 1825781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hilarious! DH is a hunter. He goes to the store with the idea of "bagging" what is on his list as quickly as possible. The thought of reading labels or looking for expiration dates makes him roll his eyes. I, a "gatherer", have to go down every aisle just looking. I can spend hours in a single store and come out with nothing to show for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version/page/2#post-1825769 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 23:24:57 +0000 Thistle 1825769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny!!</p> <p>Yeah, it's better if they don't know. I mean, we save up for months for this sale because it's fun, and I know the shoe brands I love won;t be on sale again until clearanced.</p> <p>I'm not sure there is anything worse than bra shopping with a man. They truly don't get the nuance of fit on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version/page/2#post-1825532 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 13:51:51 +0000 Angie 1825532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>HAHAHAHAH</b></p> <p>Send Tango to shop the sale next time.<b><br /></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1825433 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 05:00:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, your story is hilarious!!

Thanks for the laughs, YLF'ers. My DH is an Economist, so we have a strict household budget that must be adhered to. Still, he has his sports car and big screen TV, and I have my clothes. He knows better than to reduce my clothing allowance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824280 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:59:27 +0000 rachylou 1824280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol!</p> <p>My Nordstrom allows dogs. *I'm taking Lilypup for a walk.*</p> <p>Then you bring up the bags around the side of the house... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824279 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:57:41 +0000 Anonymous 1824279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are so funny!!<br /> It's so hilarious that yourhsband's first instinct is to GO TO THE MALL when you don't pick up! lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824276 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:53:28 +0000 Laura G 1824276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! I *just* finished my summer shopping (lots and lotsa boxes, still some things to return) and tomorrow my NAS boxes will start arriving. I think I'll get those returns in the mail today, to reduce the total mass on the dining room table tomorrow... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824274 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:46:33 +0000 fathenry 1824274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true. I was glued to the computer/phone and mine kept following me around asking what I was doing. I had warned him already but he still hasn't learned. I was so embarrased when he looked over my shoulder right into the shopping cart total. Of course he should know better, I've sacrificed food for clothes back in the day!</p> <p>Last year, ALL of the NAS boxes were dropped off at my neighbor's house instead of mine. She accidentally started opening them before she realized they were mine, but they kept trickling in for a few days.&nbsp;</p> <p>This year, I ordered all of my bras/underwear and I really stocked up. After I hit the send button, I realized Nordstrom still had the wrong apt number. Can you imaging if she opened a huge box of underwear and bras? Plus I was so distracted when I ordered, I accidentally duplicated a few things so it would be a LOT of stuff. Luckily Nordstrom was able to help me out and correct the apartment number. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824272 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:45:27 +0000 Janet 1824272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Fortunately my husband approves of my purchases (showed them to him last night). He thought the embroidered moto was a $500 jacket, so it was fun to tell him what I actually paid for it. </p> <p>He went to Nordstrom today to get a gift certificate for his daughter-in-law's birthday today, and came home with some nice goodies for himself -- two pairs of shoes, socks, and a couple of shirts. He bought more at NAS than I did! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824233 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:24:46 +0000 lyn67 1824233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine has the same great sense of timing, he too always arrives on time to the cashier's desk for learning about&nbsp; the&nbsp; truth! I just laughed on that&nbsp; you were caught&nbsp; digging for bigger size bras- which&nbsp; I guess&nbsp; is all men's dream never to shame for! At least&nbsp; it wasn't at the hankie-pantie's corb- or shape wear, think,&nbsp; that would have hurt better:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824230 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:13:49 +0000 DonnaF 1824230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think DH has started to accompany me when I make my returns so I don't look around and buy more while I'm at the store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824219 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 16:30:05 +0000 Peri 1824219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny, thanks for my laugh of the day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824209 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 16:02:39 +0000 Keix 1824209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit, I was relieved when my "big" order this year actually shipped in ONE box. Or at least all with the same tracking number. It had better be in one box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824179 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:24:28 +0000 JuniperGreen 1824179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haaa!!! Got a good chuckle out of this relatable tale... &nbsp;</p> <p>Answering the phone in the changing room is the worst! &nbsp;Don't interrupt me when I'm in "the zone."

Well, unless you aim to start a new jewellery line with the toilet parts and faucets.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am sure it's the sense of anticipation that makes Mark suspicious. Suddenly I am rooting through my fall wardrobe, humming, going back and forth between the coat closet and my computer... it's more action than he usually sees from me in the gym!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-not-to-shop-nas-the-husband-version#post-1824172 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 15:12:21 +0000 Joyce B 1824172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do have a way to take the fun out of shopping, don't they?

JAileen, that's exactly what I'll try next time. He's developed a love for Ted Baker which I encourage, LOL.</p> <p>Tanya, he is a really good guy and he has a sister, so he gets it:)</p> <p>Colette, one year Nordstrom sent a cosmetic order in one box and followed up with the free samples in their own box several days later. The multiple box thing is misleading, right? </p>
