What do you refuse to buy because they raised the prices here?

More than a few items here have seen a price increase in the last few months.  If you didn't buy because of the increase, what was it?

 

For me it was the GILI vest.

For me it was buying a second or third color of something such as a sweater that I liked.

Funny, but l just posted about this on another thread. I buy fewer food items b/c of the higher prices. Most items are in the $50 range. And often the quantities are too large for small families.

Denim & Co - all of it.

 

Recently, the boot skirt in olive.  Instead I bought a really cute pair of pants from JCP in olive for considerably less and no S/H.

I use to buy a lot, but the prices are high here for the quality. A few weeks ago I bought 4 pair of shorts and 7 tops in Pennys for $157.00.  2 tops were Liz Claiborne.  Everything was 40 to 60 % off. Very nice quality on all.

I used to buy Bobbi Brown lipstick all time from the Q website but the price started increasing used to be $23 and then $24 but now it's $27.  I say hell no!  It's just the principle of the thing.  Very infuriating.  It's A165021.  I won't even buy it at a department store anymore.  

 

 

Regarding clothing, I'm pretty much done with Qvc in that department.

The TSV and OTO offerings on QVC are barely reduced prices anymore and the quality of those items has also gone way downhill. I can buy the same quality at Walmart or Bealls for considerably less - so i do.

So many items have price increases from Clarks shoes to Denim & Co., & Issac.  It all depends but I may purchase one item on easy pay that I consider a little higher but there are some items I refuse to purchase.  I get better deals on plain tees from Kohl's.
