No, No- we should not be helping each other find new stores- we should be helping each other stop!!!

Well, I am feeling you on this one. However, I am learning to put a grip on this shopping habit of mine especially due to the fact that I am now married and DH and I are trying to invest in a new home and also he is trying to open a second sports bar. One of things that I came to realize is that poor management of finances and being a shopaholic are some of things that contributes to problems in a marriage and also divorce. So knowing this I am working very hard to curtail my shopping and so far I have been doing very good. DH is extremely disciplined when it comes to finances.

shopbop.com has great clothes like juicy, 7's, joe's jeans, true religion and stuff like that. and the best thing about it is at that at the end of the season they have a huge sale (but never on true religion ). I got a great pair of 7's for 70.00!!!!! They have just about every trendy designer you would see at neiman, barney's, or saks. i love it. help me.

HI Lauren, My name is Lauren too, and I'm trying to be a recovering shopaholic!! Give your credit cards to someone you trust, who won't let you have them unless of an emergency!! You can do it! Just ask yourself before you buy- 'do I need this, or just want it?' Good Luck!

Hi everyone, My name is Theresa and I, too, am a shopaholic. My obsessions include Tanger Outlets and any place which sells shoes and handbags. Last year I developed an addiction to ordering everything online which FH made me stop because I was spending all my money. I try to avoid the mall at all costs and have instead become obsessed with everything wedding related. I salute all of you for admitting your addictions!

I think online shopping is even easier to get addicted to because it doesnt feel like you are spending any money and its so wonderful to get presents delivered to you! I love it when there is a package waiting for me at home!

Great to know that I'm not the only one! I can save money for a couple of days and then splurge it all in a matter of minutes.

i feel bad for all of you. i on the other hand never shop. not that i dont want new nice stuff its just that i am so insane about money. i hate the word cheap but... anyway i guess my FH is lucky that i dont spend but on the other hand i drive him crazy with my non stop budgeting. i feel guilty that i want a really expensive wedding band so i definately wont buy anything non wedding related till after the wedding!! good luck girs!! just think about your dream house. youll need a big one with big closets for all your stuff!!! haha maybe that will help
