$$$ GOING TO HIDE MY IPAD $$$

Shanus — Thu, 14 May 2020 23:56:42 GMT

OK, so online shopping 🛍 can help you find something you need quickly and efficiently. Three Amazon packages arrived yesterday and two came last week from other sites.

Many things purchased were not my fault (?!?!?). Daytime TV is repeats or interrupted by reports of numbers of COVID19 deaths increasing. Stress inducing, for sure.

I'm doing my best to stay busy and am usually not just looking around on here for bargains. My purchases are more "I need something, so I find it online".

When speaking to a friend yesterday, she's noticed the same bad shopping habit beginning herself. I could be drinking or over eating like some that are quarantined.

I may think about limiting my hours on the IPAD and computer. Anyone else noticing they're looking for more things to purchase online than before?

I hear you. My DH noted there was a large package on our front steps marked “Fragile.” He said fra-gil-lee (a la Christmas story). It was a set of dishes for four, Spode Blue Italian, which I have always liked. More dishes? But a big sale. Waiting for a few packages from Talbots, etc. Love my bargains, but not going anywhere for a long time. Crazy me.

No. I know what I was origonally looking for and what I wanted to add too. Also, I'm SO extremely picky, I either slap in love it with a passion on don't. Period. Either I love it like crazy, or I don't buy!

I never, ever do "meh!"!!!

No, but I have looked at lots of sites for masks!

I usually spend lots of time looking at all of them but this time went pretty quickly with Waxtex US that a poster here recommended. Great price and fun designs and made in the US.

Absolutely! I don't drink, or stress eat, but I too, believe highly in retail therapy, and have shopped more between The Q, Amazon, HSN, Shop HQ, Walmart, Ebay( and a few others) than ever before. I'm getting A LOT of "therapy", as I help stimulate the economy, and am having fun "finding my happy"😊 Home delivery is a wonderful thing.😁

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SandySparkles Look at Delia's Jewelry on Etsy. I know that's her real name. it may be studio. Her items are beautiful. I'm trying to get her in the Guild of Southern Craftsmen through the Folk ArtCenter. I just got her bangles.

Thanks for the tip. If you have to wear a facemask, it might as well be cute!

@ECBG No "meh" purchases here either, Sweets. I'm loving ALL my deliveries so far.

@Shanus OH!!!!! I had bought THE cutest tee from our retail last year. I took the tag off, wore it all day and decided I needed to get the next size. I don't remember why I didn't.

I was playing on Ebay and found the petite equal to the Misses size I wanted. Got it!!! New, not abused. It has just a touch of sparkles.

I can't tell you HOW many times I kicked myself for not repurchasing it!!!

(I would have seen that top for the next 10 years in my mond!!!!!)!

We prefer to think of it as doing our part to keep the economy afloat. I haven't bought anything I didn't want, but have been taking advantage of the flash sales vendors are offering to sell merchandise until they can reopen their B&M stores.

@ECBG Thanks for recommending her! I see several, beautiful and unique necklaces, and an anklet that I am thinking about purchasing. I also have my eye on the blue large bead 70's vintage bracelet and it only costs 3.00!!😍! I thought it was a typo.😂

Yes! I managed to go almost 2 months (the amount in quarantine) with no online purchases except for necessities and pet supplies. I told myself I didn't need a thing, especially clothing.

That resolve was gone by last weekend. I just had to "break-out" and decided to do a little "browsing" on my favorite sites. Oh, the sales they were having!

I had almost forgotten that "high" I feel when my packages arrive. It felt goood!

@PamfromCT @Shanus I must be crazy too! I also got some dishes (Fiesta) to add to those that I already had. Plus I've been buying some clothing and sandals...like I need more and where am I going with my new things?

@haddon9 No, Delia lives in Asheville, NC. I know her well. She goes to many craft shows, probably Atlanta because it's somewhat close.You can also google her professional FB.

I notice I'm shopping for things I never shopped online for before. I scour sites for TP, hand sanitizer, liquid hand soap, vitamins, and deals on pantry items. Then I have to leave the boxes sit in my living room until I feel it's safe to open them. Right now I have at least ten boxes to open. This is not the way I usually shop online.
