It is no secret, the fact is that many if not all woman love to shop. It can very well be categorized as a hobby for some and that is the case especially for myself. I have a self prognosis of having a serious shopping problem. And although shopping is something i enjoy- i call it a "problem" because i also see shopping as a privilege and a luxury. In other words, i believe you have to work and earn things. If you've got the funds to spend frivolously, then you should do so.
My problem is i work but definitely not enough to feed my spending habits- which mostly consists of shopping. And i never thought of it as a problem until i realized i couldn't fight the urge to purchase new and unnecessary clothes and shoes when i was well aware of my many unpaid bills.
I've become ashamed of this terrible habit and i tried hard to control my spending. Until i discovered online shopping. That is also when i had learned the endless possibilities and advantages of shopping over the internet. There are so many more ways to save and shop smart! And i found that i had developed a skill to saving money while learning to rid myself of my bad habit.
Learning that i can always find better deals shopping online by researching various deals and sales, i would save myself money i woulnd't have even thought twice about giving away full price! No material good is worth paying full price because somewhere out there, it's on sale- you just have to look for it. And with that, i can put down that lovely top, dress, handbag or etc. that i feel "i need so bad!".
There are infinite ways to "shop smart" and shop within the limits of your budget if you've got one. Especially when giving up on shopping is just NOT and option ;)
Anyway, i've always wanted to share about my "finds" because i have come across some amazing deals! so i'm going to start posting a "Deal of the Day" to feature my smart shopping find for every time i purchase something. I'm also going to use it to keep track of my spending as to not go overboard. I've had so many unworn items i just forget about in the back of my closet!
