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...

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.

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!
