I generally shop sales, mostly online. Because most things I buy are sale priced, I don’t find sale prices anything special, and don’t buy things I don’t like. I rarely search for a specific item. Not looking up “red hoodie” means I’m not aware of all the red hoodies out there at big prices.
I shop B&M very sporadically. Was in the mall recently, so I checked out a store I like, tried a coat but didn’t buy it. Had decided to buy bike shorts on a summer trip to the US, wound up picking up some tops too. Also ordered a ton of jeans while I was there, and chose one pair to keep. I sometimes go to markets as a thing to do, and got a few things at one this summer, after multiple trips over several weeks.
I have tons of clothes, gathered over several decades. When I thought I’d lost some recently, people on YLF posted such sweet comments taking note of that! There is nothing I truly need. My tastes have stayed fairly consistent, so if I like something we’ll enough for buy it, it is likely to find playmates in my closet.
