| Any other shopaholics present? I'm a purse addict myself! It started with Coach and Dooney's but has progressed into full-blown Louis Vuitton addiction .... And then there is the perfume problem I also tend to have... Really, I just like to shop. Its the perfect pick-me-up when life isn't going too well. Just wondering if any of you ladies share my shopping problem? How do we overcome this retail therapy? Or do we want to if its even possible? haha

| you're not alone! And I'm only 19! Oh man. I can't go out and not shop..it got so bad :/ I'd buy something which fit me tight and would say to myself"ooooh its sooo cute , it'll fit me better in a month or two" pfft, as if. I have a lot of perfumes also and my last purchase was the miss dior cherie perfume which is not cheap, but smells sooooo gooood and my bf still doesn't know I have it =x LMAO. Oh well.. I've started calming down with shopping for me since I got louis...now all I buy is for him

| Guilty as charged. I love to shop, especially for my home. I am always changing something or adding something. I find it very satisfying and stress relieving shopping. I'm getting scared because when I retire next June, with so much time on my hands, I'm afraid I'll be in the stores most of the time. Home Goods here I come. I"m thinking of working there part-time when I retire. I wonder what kind of discount they give employee's I'd rather shop for my home than for me I think. |

| The 1st step is admitting it.... ......As I sit here with two new pairs of Lindsay Phillips' Switch Flops, which I had delivered here at work today "stuffed" into my gym bag so my DH won't see me sneak them in to the house tonight when I get home...."but I just had to have them for my family get-together this weekend!!" .........yeah....I"ve got a wee-bit of a shopping habit..... Did anyone see "Confessions of a Shopaholic?" Cute, cute movie!! P.S. Carol....I could never ever work at Home Goods...I would spend my entire Pay Check there!!! It's a great store!!!

| Yay! Good to know we aren't alone! Shopping is the friend that is always there! "Confessions of a Shopaholic" made me feel so much better about my habit! At least I pay for everything in cash or debit I like to shop for my house too, but I usually look for eclectic, vintage pieces I can sorta customize. I've never heard of this "Home Goods" store? Sounds like a good place to go!

| Dang you ladies need to come by my shop then, it's been dead lately! Personally, I like to go to thrift shops. the thrill of the hunt, and the bargain! Esp since I am small, it's hard to find things in my size. And when I do, it's unique and no one else has it! I just found a vintage little boys cashmere/wool double breasted blazer for $5.99!!!

| My shop is 90% new, 10% vintage, but 100% struggling!!! LOL it's just a sign of the times. We were doing sooo good back in 2007 and before. We are a small shop just handbag, some clothes, and for the season costumes!

| Hi, my names Danielle and I'm a shop-aholic My Dh and I BOTH love to blow away money. He loves gadgets and I love stuff for my dogs and perfume and makeup. He grew up poor, and I grew up middle class so it's not like we were spoiled out of our minds as kids. We both said that when we grew up and made our own money we were not going to limit ourselves ( within reason of course) I think the biggest waste of our money though is on food. We go out ALL the time. And we love to grill out and that is a BIG chunk of money when its steaks all the time. We both are blessed to have good paying jobs so its nice. I am going to take advantage of it while it lasts and we don't have any kids.
