Wish I liked shopping more!

I had to laugh at this thread, because i used to be exactly the same!! I would buy something, and the same day i would see my cousin, she would tell me about all the great deals she got, and i used to kick myself for spending all that money on just the few items i had compared to her.
So i gave myself a shopping course, now when i need things i go at certain times of the year when things or on sale, i will walk from one shop to another to compare prices, because i can always walk back to shop #1... another thing i learned the HARD way is, ASK yourself if you really need it, and if you don't have the same thing in your closet? Many many times i made the mistake of buying for the sake of having, and ended up throwing clothes away with the tags still attached.

Same with grocerie shopping, go for the no name brands down on the bottom shelves, they way cheaper.
