[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I deeply admire the desire to do this, contemplate it regularly, and participate occasionally.  I generally save the no buy for Lent.  Or after MLK day.  Too many good bargains right now, so if I buy what I want (not need!) that's deeply discounted these next two weeks, I'll head into mid January ready to live frugally.

Last night I ordered some clothes from a site having a 60% off flash sale (but got a notice this morning that half of what i ordered wasn't available, so win?).  I also ordered some perfume I've wanted for a couple of years that I haven't gotten that was half price, too.

I'm contemplating some goblets from Williams Sonoma, half price.  Don't need but they would be so pretty at all the dinner parties we never have.

And, I'm desperate for some speciality tea.  Usually you can buy Twinings Christmas Tea at any grocery store, but I never found it this year, so now I'm going to order it online.

I was sick at Christmas and the entire week after so didn't hit any in person sales, so not feeling too bad.  I also have some gift cards - Amazon, Old Navy, LOFT, Talbots.  So a bit of shopping in my future.

But I salute you OP and everyone else!  I will be joining you shortly, just need to get a little Veruca out of my system first.  [/quote]

And I salute you!  (OP again)

If you have been waiting several years to buy perfume, that surely doesn't count as an impulse spend!

Personally I am trying to get out of debt, and needing to curb impulse spending, especially where either convenience, or the kids' desires, are concerned!

But I totally get how people who are better with finances than I, might structure their spending to take advantage of the sales at certain times of the year.[/quote]
