Are you a snob shopper? - 06-01-04

....Are you one who has to have all of the best name brand articles? ...The best clothes,... the best shampoos,... the best this,.. the best that,...and so on?
....Or are you one of the average buy what you like shoppers?.......It might be top of the line,...and may be the bottom........just whatever floats your boat at the moment.

....How do you feel about people that just "have" to have the best of everything and be the best? The ones that must be noticed by their top of the line product,.. whatever that may be?

....I have known many people as such. I find that as time goes by,... I find myself distancing a bit from them. I am not a fan of snobby peeps in general. Don't get me wrong. I am not bashing people that are in such a way. I just prefer down to earth people in my surroundings.

......So,......what about..."You"?


Scream my name.........

I buy what I need or what I like. Just like you said, if it happens to be at the top (and it usually is not just because of a little thing called a budget) then its at the top, and if its at the bottom then its at the bottom.
I don't mind people who have to have the best, as long as they don't give me shit for not feeling the same way.

I buy what I like, and I hate people that have to have the best of everything, especially if they brag about it. It screams 'Shallow'. Can't be doing with it.

I can be a cheap bastard a times. If it work's I'll take it. It doesn't have to be a certain brand name or anything. As long as it doesn't fail me, I'll take the cheapest runt of the brand names you have.

i don't care about shopping. i get bored easily. i have no time to sit around and judge how the way people would shop, and how they always have to get everything that is the best. cause i'm in my own little world anyway. yeah call me a "boring, lazy, and whatever" kind of a shopper.

I buy the best of everything simply because it's the best. For instance, a $50 bottle of Biosilk is better for my hair than a $2 bottle of Suave. Kraft macaroni tastes better than Wal Mart brand macaroni. My Prada sandals are of a higher quality and will thus last longer than a pair from Payless. And well-cut, more expensive clothing usually fits my frame better than the virtual "one size fits all" crap you buy at Target. It has little to do with being snobby and more to do with appreciating quality in merchandise. And I'm in the financial position that I can buy what I want and not have to settle for less than.

I'm just a bargain shopper. I shop 2 different grocery stores to get the best deals..brand names on some things , off brand on others, depending on sales that week..
I never pay full price for clothing, shoes, etc....if I'm wearing a brand name, I got it on sale, and didn't pay much for it..

If it works I'll buy it.
Middy generally does the shopping because if it was left to me I have the typical guy problem of just grabbing the first thing that remotely resembles what I need.

Quality is a great thing, buying it cheap is even better.

I just do the smart thing and hold the purse, bookbag or whatever and stay out of the way. It's the safest thing to do when you're married.

....Thats not much of a fair comparison when you only compare the best to the worst. I also buy the better of "some things" that's required to when making a little common sense. But I also buy a lesser value for certain things to which it makes no real sense to buy at a higher price.

i dont have alot of money to be spending on things, that i can get on sale or for bargins.
but must admit, i do buy expensive lotions, shampoos and conditioners, and hair oils. but thats mostly cause thats what i feel is important to me. and usually the better product is more expensive. i buy dream angels by victoria secret, the "lux" lotion that you put on over the regular lotion is about $35 a bottle (small) and the lotion itself is already $20. not to mention the moisturizers i use... lets just say in one month i spend probably $100 (the most) on lotions.
but when it comes to shopping for clothes, i buy them maybe 2-3 times a year, same with shoes (except for undies). i mostly wear scrubs and uniforms the whole year round... and its not like i go out much so i dont really need those type of "dress to impress clothes"
so the rest of my spending mony for everything else, like house hold cleaning products and just "stuff", i get at bargin stores.... its not like i need bulk either... its just me. ;c)

I have'nt bought a new outfit in at least four months.I think I have two outfits,both looking very similar. I dont need to wear much,since all I do is work now. Barely go out. But yeah, shopping is way overdue,and Im not sure what Im going to get.Whatever I feel like.Sometimes its from nice department stores,sometimes Its from the thrift store.But rarely hot topic.I always end up buying shirts from them that fall apart easily.
