Must stop buying shit

[Deleted]

I had my online cart full of stuff on the Talbot's website and made myself close the page. I have such a hard time resisting coupon codes (use Summer for 30% off at Talbots, btw). I really don't need anything so I need to stop buying shit so I don't end up on Hoarders.

For reals. I went to J Crew this morning to return the maxi dresses ac ended up buying more than what I returned! Great sales though

OMG, me too! I've somehow turned running ( a FREE sport) into $$$! I've been spending way too much and getting a Mac Book this week too. I.must.stop!

I'm in the same boat; but there's SOOOO many good sales!

[futurepivko]

I hear ya.

I should start a daily what did you NOT buy thread for us to post things we wanted but didn't let ourselves buy. Then we can pat each other on the back for staying strong

[mrst2]

Me too! I know I don't need anything, but I still somehow find things to buy. Must stop!

Jenn- I just bought another LLL Turbo Run short. And yes, running is FREE but I can't stop buying those damn shorts

I hear you. I keep getting sales emails. It's so hard for me to resist them.

LOL! Aren't they great!? I almost got another pair of WUs today in Navy, I love them but it's also 85 outside. I got the new cross body bag instead, it's the perfect size with a zipper, exactly what I've been looking for! It was on today's upload.

Is it the Good Fortune bag?

BTW- Are you getting the new Pro or Air? D is getting the Pro soon, he is so in :heart: with mine LOL. I never thought I'd turn his "only a PC!" self to a "I :heart: Apple" self.

That's the million dollar question! Tim and I have been fighting over this. I want the 13" Air and he wants the new 15" Pro that they rolled out yesterday.

We're going to the Apple store this week to look at both before I make a decision. Tim's all about the retina display and flash. I'm all about the slickness and portability of the Air.

Is your DH eying up the new Pro too?

Yes, but the good thing for us is that his work is going to pay for his Apple laptop. He's not sure if he wants the Air or Pro, but knowing D, he'll get the Pro b/c he's all about power (and not as concerned about portability). I have to say that my 13" Pro is still very portable.

You'll have to let me know what you guys end up getting. D hasn't made it to the Apple store and the next few weeks are pretty busy for him/us so I think he'll take a look at them sometime in July.

[AngGee]

Ok I am laughing at this thread because it reminds me of myself SO much. The other day you ladies posted a code for Sephora, spend $25 and get the UDPP for free. And I looked and looked and looked for something I "needed" for $25 and could find nothing until finally I had to laugh at myself, I'm spending hours of my time looking for this $25 item when the primer is only $19... and I didn't need it NOR anything else!
LOL
Bad influences here. I agree with Dawgs we should say what we didn't buy. ;

I'm also considering ordering the new Pro. I feel sort of dumb going with that one b/c I don't need Pro capabilities for serious video or photo editing or anything. But I desperately need a new computer and if the new Pro is the best, then I don't know if I will want something that's NOT the best, lol.

But I am upset about it not having a CD-ROM. One of the things I desperately want to do with a new computer is organize our wedding photos (from 3 years ago, haha) and they are all on disc.

OMG, ITA!
So many things come to mind... like this beautiful $150 dress, NWT, purchased in December. I was SURE I needed it. Well I didn't, and I've lost 3 sizes since then. Too late to return!

My H and I are on a shopping freeze until Nordies Anniversay sale!

[jchokie79]

Janegold- can you put your pics in a flash drive then move them to the Pro? We're going to the Apple store to look at the Air and the new Pro this week before making a decision.

I can't stop! I was doing good hanging around in the H&G board. I wasn't buying anything for the house or me. Then I started reading reviews here, then started buying shit after seeing them here and posting, then OOTD, then lusting after bubbles necklace. OMG I need to stop too!! Those dang sales emails don't help either!

[birkbop]

The infamous post of that room with crap piled on the bed + inclination to shop makes me fairly certain I will see you on some TLC show in the future.

No it's not!! Everyone is going to lust over stuff, then someone is going to find it on sale or something and then everyone is going to cave and end up buying even more shit!
