Last Spring, I drove all over kingdom come looking for some limited edition $5 makeup.
I stalk stuff online even after I've bought it because I'm convinced I will either find it cheaper or they will come out with a sequel that I will love even more.
I only go as far as sales alerts and calling stores out of state. Not too obsessive, right? Now if I had to get on the road to drive out of the state.. nah.. that will never happen. LOL!

Yeah I have definitely crossed state lines. I have even considered international travel to get specific items, but I've always been able to find them before it got that bad.
I'm obsessive and indecisive which IMO is a horrible combination! I obsess, find said object and then have a hard time pulling the trigger. lol I usual end up buying way more than I should anyway.

Very. I check the stores, see if it can be shipped, and have planned some weekends away to get stuff. I know all the malls in several states and will cross state lines if necessary, but remember it's 30 minutes each way to the crap grocery store here.
I didn't pull the trigger on a limited edition handbag and went back later the same day it was gone and could have cried. So I called my mom (who's the same way) and we called every store in the country it seemed like. Turns out we finally got a CS agent that was helpful and found one left in their Hawaii store. Haha so I purchased it and had it shipped to me.
So I'd say pretty obsessive on things that I end up falling in love with and "must have". Haha

I'm shockingly not that obsessive. I can't think of a time where I was so obsessed with an item that if it was sold out I was heartbroken. I can usually find something else I like as much.
Really obsessive. A few years ago I literally started blind calling Nordstrom stores to find the Tory Burch anniversary sale riding boots. Found them and it was so worth it. Recently became obsessed with a top at H&M to finally get it and realize it looks awful on me. And last week I became obsessed with finding the silver Birkenstocks and finally tracked down a sole pair at a JCrew in New Jersey. They're scheduled to arrive today. If I become obsessed with a sold out item, I almost always find it. Including that one time in college I became obsessed with finding chanel's black nail polish color and paid an arm and a leg on ebay. That, I regret, ha.
There's been plenty of times when ladies have used the S&B bat signal to hunt down items. Joanis got me a top from H&M that I was obsessed with, and I've hunted down a bag for my mom and a friend by calling stores all over the country.
I definitely become obsessed with procuring a desired item but usually once I get it the lust kinda wears off and I wonder why I went to such extremes. This statement kinda reminds me of my pre-married dating life

Let's just say I wanted a pair of Prada shoes some years ago, but they were out of my budget. Every few weeks I would search for them to see if the price went down. This continued for 2 full years (maybe even close to 3), until I finally found them in my size and at a much more reasonable price.
