[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't buy second hand anything.  Definitely not clothes. But, I buy new clothes mostly from Costco, Kohls, Target, Macy's, Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Amazon, Lands End and Nordstrom Rack.  I buy clothes on sale. If I buy something name brand, I will buy it on sale.  Like buying NorthFace parkas on sale.  [/b]

I do not buy souvenirs or mementos from my trips abroad. I only buy fridge magnets and anything that can be consumed quickly (chocolate, wine, snacks, cheese, coffee...).

I get a haircut every month, but I do all my beauty treatments at home from coloring my hair to skin treatments, waxing, mani pedi etc.

I host a lot and I hire a helper for the event but I cook all the food myself because I can control quality, taste and cost. (I am an excellent cook).

We do not have pets though we lavish love on our parents's dog.  Pets cost a lot of money and also I cannot stand pet hair, smell and taking care of them.

I do not pay for lawn treatments.  I have seeded clover on top of the existing grass, and reseed every year.

I buy my groceries from a number of stores. I am not store loyal at all.  My favorite stores for groceries - Costco, Whole Foods,  Great Wall (Chinese store), Patel Brothers (Indian store). I will visit Aldis, Target, Walmart, Traders Joe and Giant for miscellaneous grocery items.   I buy wine in bulk from Costco in VA.

Wow. Your clothing shopping practices are horrible for the environment, esp. the shopping at Old Navy.[/quote]

Lol what

DP, but I kind of agree. Now that I have money, I try to do better. I buy clothing made from sustainable materials and practices and not from sweatshops. This means I have to stick to a few known brands, or buy second hand when I really want something different.

To me, spending my money wisely on earth friendly and people friendly clothes is more important than saving a dollar. Now that I have money. Obviously, my calculus was different when I couldn't afford that[/quote]
