Also, just wanted to point out that I'm planning to start uploading videos again so the blog will definitely have fewer posts than what I was doing in the past. However, I am hoping that the videos make up for my lack of writing.
Anyway, enough rambling and let's get to the actual post right? I decided that fall is in the air and we're going to start cleaning out our closets and making space for scarves, boots, and sweaters because we can't help, but love the idea of cold weather until you know, it actually gets cold. So I decided to do a quick little blog post on things that I never buy full price and the idea for the blog will make more sense once I start talking about it. Promise.
1. Clothes
I mean clothes are already over priced and ridiculous so why would I ever buy a shirt from Belk for $70? I literally just can't make myself do it even if it's not an obscene amount. The good news is that clothes almost always go on sale eventually. Places like Belk, Rue 21, JcPenny, etc., almost always have some sort of sale going on so it's not like I wait till the last week of December to buy clothes or anything like that. And now is the perfect time to start stocking up on clothes like tank tops and shorts because it's officially out with the summer and in with the fall. This is where the inspiration for the blog post kind of came about.
2. Furniture
Furniture and clothes are kind of like the same thing to me. I feel like everything is over priced and I don't see the sense of urgency in buying stuff like clothes or furniture when I can just wait and do some research to find cheaper prices. Save money where you can though, right? So even if it's something like a book shelf or a painting I almost always wait until I see a huge SALE sticker on it. The same is definitely said for things like couches and mattresses though that will almost break you anyway.
3. Electronic goodies
Never will I ever buy a laptop at full price no matter how bad I feel like I need it. I will never buy a phone at full price either even if it is the newest Samsung Galaxy. (I don't even own a Samsung Galaxy, that's how cheap I am). There's always a sale bound to happen even if I have to wait all the way to Cyber Monday, I can always tell myself that putting it off means saving money in the long run. So we can get that flat screen TV that I've been putting off just for the holiday season.
*These next two items might be a bit of a stretch to say "never," but it seemed fitting enough because it's still very rare that I would buy them at full price consistently:
4. Books
So as I mentioned, I have bought books at full price before. I'm sure of it because sometimes the book that I so desperately want never goes on sale, but I typically only browse the SALE aisle or if I find a book I like that's full price, I'll check on Amazon or Ebay looking for a cheaper option. In fact, one of my favorite places to buy books is from a thrift shop or consignment store because I'm such a big fan of old books anyway, it's almost always easy enough to find a book that I would like to read from one of those places.
5. Games
Games are generally the same way, except it's even rarer that I would stoop to buy an overpriced game at full price. Even when it comes to my Sims games, I almost always wait for Origin to put the games on sale before I buy them. The occasional $10 stuff pack happens because these games almost never go on sale and even if they do I'm only saving around 2 or 3 dollars usually. If I buy a game on Steam it's almost always because I found it in the SALE section and I just couldn't resist.
That's all from me for today guys and I honestly have no idea when I'll get around to blogging again, but I hope you have a fantastic Friday and I'll keep you posted. : )
