Now I can be a cheapskate, but I always hunt for bargain deals and sales. For me it’s with clothes or Blu Ray triple deals and charity shops.
Even if I was working I was still more a “check the sales first” kind of guy, didn’t matter it was shoes, t shirts and jumpers I browsed that always.
It may be obvious like any normal person looking for some good deals, but generally I focus it always on that as I like to “quantify” more for my payment.
As for normal paying? Probably gonna be games, a suit or decent work clothing to go with the role to show some seriousness but that’s about it.
Literally my entire wardrobe is sales clothing.
What about you? You more of a “sales hunter” kind of person or do you go for normal sold items often?.
Let me know!
Depends a lot on what I am looking to buy.
I generally avoid anything with visible branding, aside from sneakers where it is largely a given and I found some nikes that work well with my feet.
I do look to buy quality/durability where possible, within budgetary reason, I try not to contribute to our mountains of garbage too much. Naturally i also avoid short fashion which will look bad next year, which is luckily pretty easy as a man.
For most other things aside from clothing I generally follow the military grade system: buy the cheapest thing meeting your needs. I generally have an initial idea what I am looking for (I basically never go on a sort of unprompted or unguided shopping spree just to buy something) and the needed properties, and I will opt for whatever does what I need the least expensive.
For food and groceries i generally buy organic store brand, though a few brand products just taste irreplaceable, so i go with those.
