When You Promise Yourself

justashopper — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 23:49:46 GMT

Ok guys, I promised myself no more.....

Miz Mooz-- they never fit. I am no longer paying the return shipping to try them on.

Jackets- I bought 3 jackets since the beginning of summer. I have not had to wear a jacket since the beginning of summer.

It's hard because I really want that Logo jean jacket with the fringe and the collar ripped off. I wanted that a long time ago but it was sold out. Now 3 never been worn jackets later, can't do it. Booo Hoooo.

I also really want the Dennis Basso fauz fur jacket AND the Miz Mooz boots that were just on with Amy.

Do you have a no- buy list right now? What is it, how do you adhere to it or do you blow it off and buy what you want anyway?

I also rarely buy cheese (not a qvc fashion item. LOL) I will eat a whole block in a day or two. LOL

I found two jeans I want at Talbot's...but don't want to pay full price for them...because what I really want are light gray jeans and I can't find what I want. These other 2 jeans are consolation prizes, lol, so I just can't bring myself to pay full price. And even with the 25% sale, I just couldn't get me to pull the trigger.

I try not to watch the Q or Hsn too much b/c when I do I spend my money on stuff I really don't need. When I do buy something then I use the PayPal option. That way my return shipping is refunded to me. All of my return shipping is refunded to me by PayPal but there is a limit. You can check it out ...search

I stopped ordering shoes, clothes and handbags from Q about 3 years ago. I am happier trying these items on and seeing them in person. I have lots of stores near me so it is not difficult at all.

I order other items from Q--some cosmetics, kitchen and decorative items. My "no buy" item is jewelry. I have plenty and don't need another thing.

@kate2357 Talbots has great jeans. I am waiting for a greater than 25% sale. I have a few items in my cart as well. I dont need a thing so I am trying to exercise some discipline....I'll be on a look out for a better sale for us!

I won't buy ice cream. Can't be trusted with it. I get what your saying on having to return items. Such a pain.

I don't promise myself. With Q, I turn away in disgust. Just sayin'!

I want a pair of Vionic shoes I saw yesterday but due to a very negative shopping experience recently, saying no to the Vionic shoes is very easy. It only took 20+ years but my QVC shopping days appear to be over. Makes saying no AND saving a ton of money super easy!!

I certainly can relate. If I really don't want to buy I don't

look, not at all. No tv, catalogues etc. after a while it becomes second nature.

I do indeed, I promised myself I will not buy any boots, jeans, coats, underwear, jewelry, handbags. I just don't need any of these things. I have more than enough. Although I did buy a new JR barn jacket and I'm willing to consider a pair of wide leg or full leg jeans.

@justashopper Totally understand what you are saying & don't feel bad, it has happened to all of us.

I remember when I was still working full time, had a long commute, helping my parents w/the health issues they were going through & turning on the Q & it was easy to just order what the host was selling as it was trendy, the current fashion, convenient, easy, reasonable price - yep, I bought what the host was selling. Now, not so much but every so often I need my Q fix - it's okay.

I seem to often break these kinds of promises, but I have decided not to buy jeans/slacks from QVC because I have trouble getting a good fit. Tops are easier and my account shows that to be true. I bought 2 more today.

Hi @kate2357

Not to be an enabler or anything. LOL> But. One lesson I learned is-- buy what I want the first time. Any time I buy something similar but cheaper, I just end up wasting money. The cheaper consolation prize rarely works for me.

Hi @sandy53

I bought two tops from Kim Gravel on Saturday. Lol.

My post was mostly in jest. I don't think I need an intervention or anything. I don't think anyway.

Which tops did you get?

@SilleeMee - Maybe you should do a PSA on this return shipping option with all the complaints of having to pay shipping.

Oh, ita. I just can't find the right gray jeans at any price point, that fit and don't have shading on thighs & tush.
