Re: Do You "Window" Shop ---

I comparison shop when I'm buying expensive items like computers, furniture and jewelry.  I'm doing that now, I want to buy a new living room set and I've been looking on line, comparing prices but also comparing styles, fabric etc.

I did not inherit the shopping gene, and have never been one to waste time going from store to store looking at an item and the price.   

 

However, I do use the internet to comparison shop for specific features, colors, etc.

I enjoy "window" shopping, and do so all the time. I will hug a nickel until the buffalo cries, so price comparison is essential for me😊😁.

Re: Do You "Window" Shop ---

I consider window shopping more for out of the ordinary purchases.

 

Of course, if it's a commonly used necessity item, I'll definitely price compare.

 

Window shopping is more for something like artwork or sculpture--one of a kind items.  (Could include furniture and lighting.)

 

And for that I do *window shop*.  I may see something and go home (or just continue to browse elsewhere) and if something truly haunts me, I'll go back again and look at it. 

 

If it really haunts me, that means it's a go ahead.

 

And if it's gone, well, then I'm pithed at myself.

@SandySparkles -- are you my sister?  I'll have to remember your "hug a nickel" comment.

 

With fall coming, I've been craving some new sweaters, boots, etc., but won't go to the stores.  So when that craving hits, I go to various websites to shop and compare prices. 

 

I haven't ordered anything yet except a new pair of Keds' sneakers.  Oh boy!

Yes I do. If its a big purchase, it takes me forever to decide, if its not urgent, like a major appliance going out.
