Normally if I see something that I like and if I see it on sale, I will go ahead and buy it. I normally do not buy anything that is not on sale. I normally look online to see if I can find a coupon that I can use either online or in store before making purchase. I want to look stylish but I don't want to poor to look it. I try to be frugal with my money so I can more.

As I have gotten older, I typically buy on the spot or within one day. The reason I do this is because raising a daughter as a single mom, I was not alway able to buy on the spot, and when I would go back to purchase the item it would be gone. My daughter is now grown, married with children, so I am able to see something I like, I think about it and if it is in my budget I purchase it.

Normally, if I see an item I like and its a good price, I will immediately purchase. Have lost out on great offers because I waited to decide... I could always return something if I'm not satisfied.
# March 5, 2010 5:53 PM

Stacey Brown said:

I seem to shop only when I have money so I am ready to buy, so I buy on the spot! I usually pre shop online and know what I want
# March 5, 2010 6:09 PM

Joyce K said:

I would have to say (B.) Minimum of two to seven days ( I typically think about it or save up for it up to a week before I make the purchase of seeing the item.) I've done all three of those things. It really depends on the situation,how many items are in stock/shelves in a store, and how much I really need the item. (A.)One day or less(I typically buy on the spot or within one day) is usually the most convenient and most "impulsive" decision in buying. I personally like bargain shopping or doing price comparison shopping. A lot more footwork to shopping..but an overall deal on an item I want is worth it. I would hate to buy an item right on the spot (same day) thinking I got a deal and see it somewhere else for way less. It's smart shopping...to look around and do price comparisons unless its an immediate need. With this economy--bargain shopping and seeing where you can get better deals for your buck is definitely a good thing. :) Can't go wrong.

Joanne Bechtold said:

A. I buy things as soon as I see them and want them.
# March 5, 2010 6:37 PM

Kayte CookWatts said:

It depends. If I LOVE it- I'll buy it straight away. If I just like it, I'll wait until I've gotten feedback from someone's whose fashion sense I trust. If I haven't bought it a week after I've seen it, I don't like it enough to purchase.
# March 5, 2010 6:41 PM

mickeyfan said:

Is this a full-price item or on sale? Because it does make a difference. On sale, I nab it NOW. Full-price, I wailt...hoping for a sale!

mary ellen s said:

I am a sale shopper but once in a great while I give in and pay full price especially if there are a limited number of the item in stock

If it's on sale and I like it -- I buy it! Thanks.

Catalina K said:

I'm now taking college classes trying to build a better future for myself and my family, therefore the pocket money I've got left is very wisely spent, that is only on items that I truly need. So, if it is something that I really need, I usually get it within seven days after seeing that particular item online. My answer would be: B. Minimum of two to seven days (I typically think about it or save up for it for up to a week before I make the purchase after seeing the item). Thank you.

Barbara Cole said:

I will look at an item online 3or 4 times before I buy. I will check out other websites to compare. At a store, I tend to buy quicker maybe because I can actually have it in my hand or try it on or whatever.

Usually C. I like to shop around for the best deal.
# March 5, 2010 8:04 PM

shawn M McKim said:

A. One day or less (I typically buy on the spot or within one day) If I really like it I will buy it if its not really expensive. If its pricey then I might take a week or so to make sure I like it enough to spend that amount of money.

I usually buy on the spot because I have set the money aside for my shopping pleasure so once i see something I like and think it's the best deal then I buy it.
# March 5, 2010 8:42 PM

Judy G said:

C. Over one week (I typically wait at least a week before I make a purchase after seeing the item). I've missed out on some good deals because of waiting but it also saves me from impulse buying.

# March 5, 2010 8:44 PM

Kathy Luman said:

I usually wait a week or longer and save up for it hoping for it to go on sell. If I need it right way I will get it. But if it is a luxury item I will save for it hoping it will go on sell.
# March 5, 2010 8:47 PM

ELAINE said:

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!???? I buy it IMMEDIATELY!!! What if it disappears? What if it is the last one!? If I cant live without it then I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT!
# March 5, 2010 8:50 PM

Renee Nagle said:

I am going to say A-but of course it depends on the price. If it is cheap? I am the bargain/coupon shopper. Love a good deal. If it is something that will be around for awhile I may wait and think how badly do I really need this?
# March 5, 2010 8:51 PM

Cindy Miller said:

C Over one week due to lack of salary this year. I really think about it because I buy. It usually has to be a necessity like shoes are rubbing etc.
# March 5, 2010 8:52 PM

Joy Pufhal said:

A. I buy it on the spot if I want it....if I leave and don't buy it then I don't need it!
# March 5, 2010 8:53 PM

Cheri said:

Unless it is an item that I have already researched, I would have to say "C": over a week. I need to think it over to make sure it is something that I really, really need (or it is something I had in mind for a future gift) . If it is at an amazing sale price and it is something that I had already researched and I had already decided to purchase that item at a future date, then I would probably say "A": One day or less and purchase it right then. Thank you very much for making contests like these available for you loyal fans. I am sure that all of your fans appreciate these contests as much as I do. Have a wonderful week!
# March 5, 2010 9:00 PM

B- I usually take a day or two to see where I can get the best bargain on it. :) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)

i would be C. i would wait a week i think.
# March 5, 2010 9:17 PM

C) only because I am referring to full priced items... It has to go on sale at some point, right? If it is clearance it is an A, but I have to like it to buy it.

A when I have the money to do so which is rare these days.
# March 5, 2010 9:23 PM

Charlotte Winters said:

I usually wait at least a few days. I have this little ritual where I pick something up and put it back several times at a store. I'm sure it looks very OCD, but you just have to be so careful with your money these days.
# March 5, 2010 9:24 PM

Katy M said:

B. Minimum of two to seven days (I typically think about it or save up for it for up to a week before I make the purchase after seeing the item) I'm one of those girls who looks up reviews and different prices online and just does a lot of research. That is, when I'm spending more than aroudn $75. To me, there's just so much info out there these days it's silly not to take advantage of it! Thanks for the great giveaway!!! :)

If it's on sale I buy it immediately!

Cathy said:

A. - if it's in a store... I don't want to take the chance of coming back and it's gone. B. - if it's a catalog or online, I usually see something and then get back to it when I have time. LOVE the bag; hope I win!
# March 5, 2010 9:31 PM

brenda helgeson said:

I typically buy on the spot , but that said, after i've done some research on the product
# March 5, 2010 9:40 PM

Lita said:

It varies. Online I never purchase immediately, if it's a very good offer that I know will sell out I will buy only if it's not something overtly expensive or self indulging. But I usually wait a few days or weeks to buy something online, if it's something I want but don't need. When I'm at the stores, I never come back to buy something, I buy it right there and then if I really want it. It's too much of a hassle to go back to the store.
# March 5, 2010 9:45 PM

Christine Keefe said:

B- Usually within a week. But, if it's something I must have, I will obsess for 24 hrs about it and then go and get it!
# March 5, 2010 10:09 PM

Margaret said:

Not sure what I think of the bag...never heard of burberry...I m a big fan of Coach & Vera Bradley...cant see myself ever paying $700 for a purse!!!
# March 5, 2010 10:16 PM

Denise Merz said:

B. for sure. I usually have to save up the money to buy something. But it will remain on my mind until I can get it and then I run out and shop!

A. One day or less- I am always afraid that I'll lose out. So I don't wait around anymore.
# March 5, 2010 10:52 PM

Cindy Merrill said:

Vicky H. said:

A. I agree with the first poster, if I like it and it's on sale, then I'll usually get it right then and there. If it's not on sale, then I'll either forget about it or wait for it to go on sale.

Melanie Bleile said:

I would say A. I don't shop online unless I have the money to spend, so I don't wait to purchase.
# March 6, 2010 12:03 AM

Anita Worth said:

My answer is (B) if I am in need of something anyway and happen to see it or a comparable item online, I will usually buy it in the store right away. However, if I am just browsing for future purchases I will make eventually, my answer is (C); I try to wait at least a week, to see where the item (s) can be found at the best price. I think it important to comparison shop, especially for things that are seasonal, since the supply and demand is what keeps the prices the way they are in the stores.
# March 6, 2010 12:05 AM

Patricia Jones said:

Absolutely B! I have never bought in 35 years of marriage ANYTHING without talking it over with my husband!
# March 6, 2010 12:32 AM

# March 6, 2010 1:48 AM

Sharon B said:

I don't own a lot of clothes or accessories. And I don't follow fashion trends too closely anymore. So when I see something I like, that I know will last for many seasons, I buy it -- especially if it is on sale. If you have one great handbag, it makes a statement, doesn't it? And you don't have to change bags every day to match your outfits.
# March 6, 2010 1:58 AM

Lynn Wittner said:

When I see an item I normally check several other websites and then I think about it for a few days and then I go back and look at the item again and then I will search and see what other coupon codes and discounts I can find. I am very careful with my money and I rarely buy anything on impulse.
# March 6, 2010 1:58 AM

Diane Baum said:

I am an A... I buy what I want
# March 6, 2010 2:09 AM

Darlene Alexander said:

B - for sure It's not that I don't instantly like an item but I always consider the price and how much wear I would get out of it. Now this purse - expensive but Oh so pretty!
# March 6, 2010 2:11 AM

Victoria said:

I used to buy on the spot when I found something I liked but now I tend to think about it a few days since I'm on a smaller budget now so I'll say B.
# March 6, 2010 2:19 AM

# March 6, 2010 2:53 AM

Brittany said:

B. Minimum of two to seven days (I typically think about it or save up for it for up to a week before I make the purchase after seeing the item). I usually like to think about it, make sure it's within my budget and that I *really* need/want it and then get it. But if it's a great deal, I'll snap it up on the spot!

Annette D said:

I would have to say C., I am not an impulse buyer.

if i see an item in store that i like and if its on sale, i try it on and if it looks good on me i buy it, since we always have an option of returning the item so i buy it than take my time to decide at home wether to keep it or not,
# March 6, 2010 7:52 AM

Valeria de Guzman said:

I buy things right away especially when it's on sale because I don't want to lose the good sale or good deal . I don't waste my time & money on things which aren't useful to me. I buy high quality products that are reasonably priced.

C. Over one week (I typically wait at least a week before I make a purchase after seeing the item) BUT if it is online and the price is fantastic, I get it right away. Most often I wait. I saw a bag I liked by Coach. Waited for a sale and had money then bought it.
# March 6, 2010 1:55 PM

Tracy D. said:

I definitely wait over a week, most often longer than a month. I tend to buy for everyone but me without thinking to much of the cost, but when it comes to something I want, I always feel it's to expensive. I've been wanting a golf push cart for over a year...still haven't bought it, but still thinking/wanting it!!
# March 6, 2010 1:56 PM

gina said:

For me it totally depends on how much the item costs...If its on sale for an excellent price & there is a limited amount then I would say A. but if its a pricey item, then it would have to be C. I tend to be quite cheap when buying for myself & I always have to mull it over.

I'm usually an A - I buy when I see. But certain items that are more expensive, or just less needed, I let marinate in my head for a while before going back and purchasing (or wait until it goes on sale)

Typically immediately; however, even that still depends on several things: 1. How much of a need is it? 2. How much of a deal is it? 3. Budget? - single mom of 3 teens, out of work for 4 months due to major accident.... So I am attempting to approach all things with prayer and thanksgiving
# March 6, 2010 3:51 PM

Shirley Hodge said:

If it is a sale item I usually buy it right then because I have learned from experience that if you don't you will lose it. Since I shop mostly online except for groceries, sometimes I will get a catalog in the mail and then will go to their online store and purchase there as it is faster and more efficient than snail mail. I have tried calliing in orders from catalogs but too many times I get someone who speaks so softly or mangles the language so badly that I cannot figure out what they are saying so I just skip the phone route. Bottom line is that if I really want it I order it but if it is a big ticket item I sometimes do think about it for a few days or do research for a better price. Got my new TV online at a sale that I found listed on Google.

I am a frugal person, so when I find a great deal on something I'm either in need of or when looking for a special gift, I usually buy it right then and there. I also keep a mental track of when stores have a huge sale, i.e. Macy's has their best ever sales just before Mother's Day. Once in a while, during the year, I do let myself splurge on something unique and not normally what I would buy without a sale price. I consider these my birthday and Christmas presents to myself.

My answer is B. I like to see if the item goes on sale if possible and to make sure I can reasonably fit it into our budget at that time. I also want to make sure I will use the item and that it's not just an impulse buy!
# March 7, 2010 6:21 AM

Brenda said:

Even though I primarily shop sales, the time I wait still depends on the cost of the item. If it is inexpensive enough or if the need is immediate, I will purchase on the spot. Generally, I fit into the second category and wait a few days. If it's a big purchase, I wait more than a week. If I miss out, then I probably didn't need the item anyway.
# March 7, 2010 6:33 AM

Because of its stylish look and reputation, I have bought it without any doubt with my year's worth of savings at a local store. Few years later, I have figured out that my exclusive handbag was fake. The sky was falling, and I lashed myself for being a fool for not being careful while buying a such item.

Items that I need are bought as soon as possible. Items that I want-but do not need-depend upon price and availability. Low cost items may be bought instantly just because I like it and want it. If it is a high cost item that is readily available, but I do not need it, there is no time limit for research and a possible buy. For example, I instantly purchased copy paper online at a good price this morning because I needed it. I did not purchase a music keyboard that I saw online this morning because I did not need it. I wanted it, but I already have a music keyboard, piano and organ.

eeow long is TOO long for me to buy a clothing or accessory item that I like after I've seen it online or in a store. I'll choose C. but it is more like an eternity. I just sigh. C.. Over one week (I typically wait at least a week before I make a purchase after seeing the item)

B. I like to think about things for a few days, if its still on my mind after a week, then I know I should get it.

If the price is reasonable, I will buy it on the spot. If not, I'll wait until the price comes down, typically a week or two.

B fits me. I usually wait less then a week before buying something I've found online or in a store. I've found that impulse buying is not a good thing for me.

If I find an item that I want on sale I will most certainly buy it on the spot. But, if it is a high dollar purchase I will usually give it a lot of thought before I make the purchase.

My daughters love purses and bags. This would be great to win and give them something they can't buy.

If it's something I see in the store I buy right away if it's on clearance or a good sale. If not, I will wait for it to go on sale, unless it's something I really need. If I see something online, I typically wait until I can get to a store to get it. If no stores nearby, then I will wither buy right away if it's on sale, or wait until it goes on sale.

I would have to go with c. when I see something I like I will add it to me favorites and after I wait a while when I go back to it if I still like it then I buy.

I guess it depends on how badly I want the item... somtimes I buy things right away in fear of it selling out or wanting to be a trend-setter. Other times, I'll try to wait it out and see if it goes on sale. I monitor how fast its selling and if I'm confident that it will still be there in time, I wait! Thanks so much!

It usually depends on how bad I want the product and how much it costs. If it is not too expensive and I want it realy bad, I'll go ahead and buy it. If not I will save for it.
