Buying habits ...

• Belly35

  

  1. What do you buy, cost does matter?
  for me shoes, weapons, meats/fish/produce, tires, tools, electronics
  
  2. What do you buy that has usefulness and function but you’re not spending that much for?
  (middle of the road cost, would like to buy the more expensive but in your opinion not needed)
  for me glasses frames, gas, bird seed, tooth paste just a few items
  
  3. Cheap bastard, what type of items do you just buy cheap?
  I buy cheap windshield fluid … it works
  Cheap ginger ale .. i like it

  1. Pretty much what you said. Food, shoes, golf equipment, hunting stuff, clothes. Things you use everyday have a hefty pricetag.
  
  2. lawn equipment, appliances, tools, TV's, cell phones, things for the house are usually bargained shopped.
  
  3. Cheap shit like cleaning supplies, drinks, beer, disposable items and services are all bought at the dollar store or only bought at discount.

  Pretty much this. I don't make irrational choices. The only exception to this is "the dating world" because women are irrational and I can't properly determine the cost benefit ratio for them 99% of the time.

  If I need it...I buy it!
  
  If I want it...I buy it!

  This sounds like me.
  
  Luckily, I don't have to buy a lot of household stuff at the moment. Haven't had to buy appliances, mowers, etc.
  
  I don't spend a lot on clothing or shoes, but I do pay a lot to get my hair done. I love my stylist and can't imagine going to anyone else.
  
  Groceries, etc...some stuff you can go cheap on, and some you can't. I need that Heinz ketchup and real Q-Tips, but I will buy store brand in a lot of stuff.

  I don't really pay attention to cost. I should, but I don't.
  
  And like fab, there are certain products that I have to buy the name brand.
