How do you decide ,when shopping....

[roxanna]

whether or not something is worth the expenditure ?

If I can't afford it, it's obviously not worth it!

See those cookies and cakes? If you can bake it, it's not worth buying. lol
See that "name brand" coat? It's not made any better than this one that isn't a name brand, yet it's $50 more! SO not worth it!
See that bottle of water? Most bottled water is just like your tap water and is not any better... so why buy it and pay more?

Just some examples.

clear and straight to the point Tater.

i ask myself:
what else can I buy with that amount of money?
do i need it more?
how long does it take to earn/get hat amount and is it worth it?
have i got something similar that will do the job just as well?
eg, found a hand bag,beautiful style, leather,just devine, $35.00 (would normally have a $100+ tag on it)but one i already have was similar , so i pulled myself together and walked away
All good ones breezey, our water is so bad that foreign ships won't fill up here, i have a pot that filters out the nasties and a lot of people have filters on their kitchen taps.probably i drink the water indirectly when i have coffee out, but never straight from the tap.

Roxy, I've known women that insist on buying Coaches..."Oh it's a steal, it's a $500 dollar bag, but I only paid $150 for it"

Well, you'd have to carry it for me for the life of the bag for me to pay that much!

LOL Tater, i can think of a few other things i could use at that price !
