Ok, so I went shopping yesterday. I bought some clothes, and some scrapbooking stuff. When I got home I realized I spent $100. Now I know that isn't a lot.. However last night I am thinking do I *need* this stuff, and I can use that $100 on some thing bigger.. such as-

So my question is- do you get buyers remorse and bring items back?

I dont buy things alot lol so when i do usually i am ok with it or its something I really need. Im sure in the past i have had bought things and thought W** was i thinking, happens to everyone at one time or another. Im bad at returning things so i never end up returning anything.

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

it depends what I buy.... I get it with bags and shoes... what i do now, if I go shopping and really liked something and its expensive I go home think about it and if in the AM I wake up thinking about it, I need to have it! lol

That bag is cheap for Coach, get it and don't feel bad at all! Tell DH it's a great price for Coach because it is lol

Oh DH wouldnt have any problems with me buying it. He is not like that at all. This from my own money, not our shared banking.

Oh sorry, guess I misunderstood. I thought you had buyer's remorse because you were worried about what DH would think lol Sorry!

hey if it doesnt happen often then its a good thing. I think my dh has buyers remorse almost every month lol. Well he's been good now and actually hasnt bought anything in about a month, this is HUGE for him, normally a week didnt go by where he didnt buy stuff lol, he is a bit of a shopping addict and this online shopping doesn't help at all lol. But now he even handed me his cards and doesnt want them bc sees what damage they do. I hate CC's and they are the root of all evil lol well not really but they are evil. This is why i only have 2 cc's, and its a bloomies card and a macy's card and i only will do about $300-400 the most on them and then pay it off so it doesnt get to alot.

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

Never. If I do feel after I get home that I made a purchase for no reason, I will bring it back. I am a huge fan of bringing things back if I dont like it or if I realize I dont need it. Of course I always take things back in the condition it came in. So no remorse for me!

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

If its a super-big ticket item, like a $400 bag, I'll visit it 3 times... if I still can't stop thinking about it, I suck it up and buy it.

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

i always have buyers remorse...especially now that DH and I share our bank accounts.

I have always been a spender and returner haha. I always return things, because I didn't want it, it's too much money and don't need it or I realized it didn't fit.

I hate going shopping bec i really do feel quilty if i don't buy sales...like if I pay full price for an expensive item i get mad haha

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

Most of the time. I try to trick myself into 'I work hard, I deserve to spend some money on myself', and then I buy $200 worth of clothes that hardly get worn, and I kick myself in the butt later down the road lol

I just bought a $40 pair of jeans at NY&Company. I love their clothes, and their jeans are really nice for work. I felt that $40 was a bit much, but I got them anyway. Today they are a bit saggy on me!!! They fit perfect in the store, so now I am contemplating going to return them or not. :(

Ugh, I could've used the $40 to buy a new pair of boots which I neeeed

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

I think that one is around $400.

Kim you inspired me to revisit the coach webpage the other day. Thanks. Thanks a LOT.

Re: Buyers Remorse? Do you get it?

I am cheap with certain things but I did just get a NICE pair of diesel jeans. They were originally $200, on sale for $160 and I had $50 in gift cards so I decided it was ok to spend $90 out of pocket for them. I rationalized!

haha yeah and don't even get me started about how I go shopping...I could spend 4 hrs in the mall between 2-3 stores...I have to try things on and then go to another store. If i dont find anything I will go back possibly try that thing on again and then buy it...I am crazy, my sisters hate shopping with me.
