My two rules at HomeGoods…

Etoile308 — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 03:29:24 GMT

So my two rules when shopping at HomeGoods are No Glass because I drop things, and No Glitter because I keep finding it months later.

So how do I come home and find glitter in my hair? It's like I'm a magnet for it.

Do you touch it?

No, but it was probably on something I did pick up to check a price.

My two rules at Home Goods are: try not to go too often and try my best when I do not to buy unnecessary things I don't need.

@Etoile308 hmmmm, I need way more than two rules for HomeGoods, TJM and Marshall's. 🤣

My one rule for a visit to Homegoods when I used to go there:

Do Not Take a Shopping Cart ( ! ) ....or you will fill it.

At almost 80, I have been donating a lot of things or giving to my niece for her development's yard sales. She uses the cash to build gift baskets for law enforcement families.

@Etoile308 My one rule for Home Goods is the same rule I use for QVC: Do not buy anything at any price that I will not use as soon as it's in my house.

The days when I bought too much of many kinds of products just because I liked them, not because I knew how I'd actually use them. That's no longer a luxury that suits me or the next generations in my family. Less is more now.

I agree. I don't buy items with glitter anymore. It keeps shedding glitter any time I dust it. And, items don't really need glitter to look pretty.

I know I'll be in the minority here, but I actually don't care for Home Goods.

I like HG a lot. However, before making a purchase I think about it. I've learned to not impulse buy on anything anymore.

We have only one of those stores in my city and so far I have never been in there. I felt like my wallet would take a hit if I did.

I did however two years ago this past July sit as a juror on a two week trial where Home Goods was the subject of the lawsuit.

After two weeks stuck in a courtroom I was sick to death of hearing about Home Goods.

I think I said this before, but it no longer interests me to go in stores browsing. I used to with my mom, then my daughter. We would always bring home a "treasure."

Now I have those things from days gone by. My mom has passed, my daughter lives in another state. It is depressing to me to walk around those places now. That's why I started shopping with QVC.🥲

A sister of a friend of mine works part time at Home Goods and is always telling me to stop by and to let her know when so that she can be there to give me her 20% employee discount, the store location is much larger and better organized than some that I've been to, I try and avoid shopping there because as one poster mentioned I end up buying unnecessary things that I really don't need.

My craft store/fabric store rule:

Do not take a cart or basket this way I can only buy what my arms can hold!
