Have you stopped buying because of the recession?

[wmb]

have you curtailed your clothing shopping? Are you spending less on other items? Seems like the styleforum users are spending plenty on designer and bespoke shoes and clothes.

Not exactly stopped, but definitely cut back and looked at my priorities.

I think I've probably increased my buying because everything is getting so cheap.

yup me too. I think I am set for awhile with clothing after this year.

Cut back, but then I never really spent all that much.

I definitely put more thought into my purchases than I used to. Waste not want not.

 

[Joffrey]

Nope. I've stopped buying [too much] because I need to wipe out my CC balance.

I binged on new fragrances this month, but after V-Day I'm dialing it back.

Clothing? Nothing really, and nothing on the horizon.

After that my next big spend is coffee beans and other groceries.

Not yet. The only thing I've eliminated is Netflix because they have increasingly sucked.

Besides a pair of black APC's my local shop got a few pairs of, I haven't bought anything in a while because I already have what I need!

I spend most of my time around the house/traveling now, so jeans, t shirt and a coat do me fine!

For us who have money in the market, DOW ~8000 is when we need to be saving money (or selling so we can purchase a farm and some AR-15s for when the modern banking system collapses)

I also cut back $20 out of my daily spending habit, not eating 3 meals out a day any more... Sometimes not even once.

Isn't it that the selections you made have sucked?

same here. i think this is the great opportunity to pick up some very good deals on nice items we've always wanted.

 

[thekunk07]
