saving money

Boomernichols — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:13:44 GMT

I have been so good this year as I have yet to see any item on the Q that has prompted me to purchase. For whatever reason the products offered appear stale and overpriced to me which makes my Q card remain at a healthy 0 balance Touche!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Boomernichols

Congratulations! QVC has very good marketing tactics and it can be a challenge to hold off and not buy into the assumed pressure to buy. Happy New Year!

@Boomernichols Easy to not buy things you don’t want. The challenge is resisting when you see something you do want.

Stay strong!

I also haven't spend anything on the Q so far this year...and yes everything does look stale. However I purchased a lot in 2018 and am trying to get my bill down.

I’ve been good too. I made my first purchase of 2019 yesterday.

Seriously I don’t make many purchases anymore. Downsizing in progress.

I've been good, too. 3 whole days and it feels like 3 months! Okay, okay, I am exaggerating a little bit about the feels like 3 months thing. But I am going to make a serious effort to spend less.

LOL...hysterical. I purchased 4 things approximately 2 hrs before midnight on NY EVE...literally stopped my celebration with my hubby, took those 4 things off my wish list and said......thats it. Gonna relax in 2019. Only getting what I CANNOT RESIST. I am even watching less to curb my temptation. I dont know about you all but I always seem to find something I love and have to say no to.

Well I already broke a resolution to go the month of January with no purchases. But I can start "not buying" again tomorrow.

IMO, even obtaining a Q card is just an invitation to overspend. Thankfully, QVC just doesn't have that many things I need. anymore.

My spending dropped considerably when I decided to only purchase beauty or jewelry items ..... they are the easiest and cheapest to return if I'm paying for my own postage ... not usig those stupid $6.95 return labels. Not knocking what anyone else does, just saying what I did.

With the increase in postage and slow delivery I will shop and watch less QVC. UPS has 12 days to deliver some items that were promised earlier.

I don’t need any more Christmas decorations and if clothing doesn’t fit it’s expensive to return.

I resolve to clean closets, garages and the attic before Summer and not refill them.

Like others have said, its only January and I may relent!

So....this post made me curious. I wanted to cut down on QVC purchases. 2017. 27 items. 2018. 11 items. No hsn or other channels. But my BBW, Macy’s and Home goods/TJ/Marshall’s purchases were not calculated. 😀. Maybe I should track my “non qvc” purchases. Now if I could just get my Beauty stash down....it has improved in 2018 but still a long way to go! Guilty as charged. Maybe I need to get back on the weekly what did you use up beauty thread again.

Pay off debt...that's my goal every month. I love it when I see "0" in the balance column.

The few things I have seen on the Q website don’t interest me in the least. Stale items and dated clothing.Just because I am a senior doesn’t mean I want to dress in clothes from decades ago. I already donated those.

Bridgegal — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 02:58:11 GMT

That's because they ARE stale and overpriced.

I am not saving money! Placed three orders for me already this year.

I did save money in December, as I didn’t do any christmas shopping for family from Qvc.
