Shopping Poll

DH and I did some spring/summer clothes shopping yesterday.  Without meaning to, I think it's become our MO to do shopping sprees a couple times a year, with some needed/wanted smaller clothes shopping in between.  We tend to get winter clothes Sept/Oct and summer clothes Apr/May.

How do you shop?

Re: Shopping Poll

  • We tend to rely on Christmas and our Birthdays (May, August) for the bulk of our clothes, it works well with the seasons. JJ's given shirts from work to wear, and either wears khaki pants or khaki shorts with them, so he's fairly easy.

    I rarely go shopping because I have severe buyers remorse and guilt associated with it. Plus, since I was so overweight for so long, I tend to forget I can shop in regular stores and look nice in their clothes. I usually only go if there's an event I need something for. I also get many of my sister's castoffs as she's borderline shopaholic :) 

    ETA: I love shoes though, and use the money generated from my blog each month as my shoe fund. I keep it separate in my paypal and then order them online right from there. It's my own little cash stash and DH is all for me whoring out my blog to get pretty shoes.

  • I don't think we've really had a shopping plan....ever.  We have just got what we needed when we needed [wanted] it.  This year has been a bit different and will continue to be, I'm sure. 
  • No real plan for either one of us. DH hates to shop so he only goes about twice a year and stocks up. I tend to grab a few here things here and there whenever we have extra money or I realize there is something I really need.

  • We don't have any planned shopping times. I order a lot of clothes online so whenever I get a sale email I usually make an order. If I am at the mall I usually stop by a few stores just to see what they have.I honestly hate shopping so it works better to just go here and there.

     I pick stuff up here and there for DH as he NEVER shops for himself.

  • DH loves clothes and loves to shop (he's such a girl) so we tend to buy things for him intermittently throughout the year. I'm much pickier about what I buy/spend money on when it comes to clothes so I usually only buy when I have a need for something. We tend to do seasonal trips if we really need things and then smaller trips here or there.

  • We just randomly pick up things here and there as we need them.

    Ditto. I'm planning a "spree" of sorts (for me at least) to stock up on professional basics, but the only other "spree" I did was last year when I dropped a size or two.
  • We usually do one big shopping spree for DH, but I like to shop for myself and Mungee throughout the year.

  • We just kind of go when we feel like going or hear about a good sale. If I get a good Gap Outlet coupon, we go to the Outlet mall and do some shopping. We also tend to get some clothes for ourselves when we go Day after Thanksgiving shopping.

  • I love clothes so I shop year round :).  I don't enjoy going to the mall quite as much as I used to, especially on the weekends because I can't stand dealing with the crowds, so I've started following fashion blogs which helps me determine ahead of time what I want to buy.  Then I try to dash in and out as fast as I can.

  • I honestly can't remember the last time I bought clothes for myself that were just regular clothes. I got a few things at Motherhood and various consignment shops when my belly started getting too big for my shirts, but before that, I mostly relied on castoffs from my SIL's, who have fantastic taste.

  • I shop for me if I have an event or somethign specific coming up... DH doesn't buy new clothes unless something in his closet turns to dust.
