Shopping

QVCkitty1 — Tue, 05 May 2020 18:38:46 GMT

I should have titled it , not shopping because I've been putting things in various carts in my usual sites, and a few minutes late removing them. I'm usually a decisive shopper, but now I ask myself " where am I wearing this ?" Last month I got a couple of Isaac t- shirts, but now although the shopping desire is still there, I just don't see the point. I guess I'll save my money for brighter days. ☹️ Sorry to be a downer, just a bad day I guess.

I'm putting a few things in carts and have waited for them to offer that 10% off to get me to check out. If they don't offer the 10%, I don't check out!

I'm no longer shopping as I don't anticipate going anywhere for a long time. Got dressed in a new outfit to take dogs to the vet this morning. I never even unfastened my seatbelt. IMO anyone who goes out and mingles with the public is extremely foolish.

@Kachina624 I agree with limitations. In a city of almost 400,000, we only have 56 cases of the virus.

I've purchased a few things here and there for when I do return to society. I purchased a few things from Talbots when they had their 30.00 sale and a few things from Q's Lunchtime Specials, Ebay, etc... I'm definitely not going out now, but I'll be ready one of these days. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy the sales...

@San Antonio Gal What did you get from Talbots if I may ask?

Out of 400,000, how many were tested?

@ECBG - One day last week, a fellow poster alerted everyone that Talbots online was having a 30.00-for-any-top sale. That's a pretty good sale considering the original price of Talbots' tops and cardigans.

@QVCkitty1

I've done that, too! A couple times I was thinking --- boy, I really want to go shopping, so I got on line and picked out a few things and was all set to order and then thought the same thing --- huh? What for? I go out of the house maybe once every 2 to 3 weeks to get food/medications or something and right now it is really rainy and cold, so I've got my jacket on. I always preferred shopping in real stores, any way as opposed to on line as I think it's more fun. Even, after I retired, I still wanted to get dolled up a bit when we went out to eat or something. Now, I don't even see the point of wearing any makeup. The mask covers up your whole face! I did order on line a few things from Walmart -- just basic knit crop pants and tops that I can wear around the house. Nothing exciting!

I feel the same way. I love clothes and love to shop, but even the Talbot's fantastic $30.00 top sale could not get me to buy.😩😩😩😩😩😩

I bought 5 tops from Land's End just before this whole stay at home thing started and I do not think I will be wearing them anywhere any time soon.

Clothes just do not seem very important to me right now, for the first time I can ever remember. I think as things calm down and treatments and cures and vaccines are developed I will feel differently, but for now I am just wearing what I already have.

Even before this pandemic I had the habit of putting & savings items in my shopping carts at various online retailers. I go back a day or several days later to see if I still want them. Sometimes I get an email discount from the company to encourage me to finish checking out! 👍 Sometimes the impulse to buy items passes and I end up deleting the items. Works for me. 😉

@Kachina624

are they so well trained they opened the car door and visited the vet on their own?

Re: Shopping

Kachina624 — Wed, 06 May 2020 17:08:17 GMT

@Andreatoo They're pretty well trained but not having thumbs, they have trouble with door handles. Vets are operating by sending out a tech to get the dog, doing exam, giving shots or whatever, then returning them. Vet then calls you on your cell with comments. Service greatly reduced; fees not.

IMO: There is NOTHING 2 BUY!!! I've been on numerous websites I like and can usually find something. Stores aren't stocking up on new, exciting, fresh clothes. Really a snooze.
