Many of you know that I indulge in retail therapy:o Well, this weekend I went to an outlet mall and nearly had an orgasm in the Wedgewood store:p............
Got me thinking........In what store is your wallet not safe?
If ya want I can hold it for you while you look around;)

Lilith-----Seriously;My father(ex-State Cop)did alot of plain clothes
investigations.He always insisted;when going to a city)that;I put
my money and various valuables in various(many)pockets.That
way;if a pickpocket;did get you;they would only get what was in
one pocket! Irish
P.S.It's inconvenient;for you;but when I went;to motorcycle factory school;I put my BIG money;into my boot!That way they'd
have to strip me;to get my money.I had hundreds of dollars with
me.Hotel/motel fare;rent a car money;food money;beer money&
pot.One must be prepared for life on the road.

No active credit cards here, so our wallets are safe....

Any bookstore is dangerous to my check book...as well as the Pottery Barn. And my s/o will not let me loose in a tack store unless he's got a hold of any implement I can use to buy things with.

IKEA is 2 levels of shopping heaven for me. Good thing it's almost 3 hours away in Chicago...I only go once a year (but end up spending tons!) :)

Used musical instrument stores...if they have a guitar, bass, or amp I've been looking for...tough to keep that plastic in my pocket

I need to make sure that I stay out of electronics shops (or anywhere they sell neat things like that... digital cameras, GPS units, cool MP3 players, etc).
I usually go in just to look and then end up with something, but not until feature creep (you know, "what makes this next model better? ooohhh... I need to have that!") has gotten me at least twice!

With me it's fabric stores or quilt shops. But the problem is I buy the fabric, but then I hate to cut into it to use it.

Bookstores and gift/curiosity/novelty/electronics shops for
the best gadgets.
You know the type of thing, nuclear powered combination bottle
opener and key finder.
Irish
10-21-2002, 10:15 AM
Oldfart---You remind me of that;old saying:"A fool and his money;
are soon parted."or something like that. Irish
got rid of the credit cards three years ago........and I hate to shop.
Is there something wrong with me??????
But I do enjoy a good old junky auction once in a while!

Irish

BiBi---Nothing wrong with no credit cards!We keep one for emergency trips and making purchases on the web.The way that
I always looked at it-If you don't have the money for it;you shouldn't buy it.Too many people are owned; by their cards;instead of owning the card.I actually had a telemarketer;
laugh at me;when I told them that I didn't believe in credit cards!
I told them-You called me!I didn't call you! Irish

And a local candle warehouse is also a must!!!

I am a shopaholic and I can find anywhere to spend it!!! But Fredricks of Hollywood, Disney, antique and music shops and bookstores are probably among the worst

The music store (CDs *or* sheet music), book stores, and anything with the words "sale" or especially "clearance" on a sign in the window. :D

Bookstores are a big "Hide the wallet" thing for me. Hot Topic too...I haven't been in once that I haven't bought/wanted to buy something.

Two bad places for me are craft stores and book stores.
But any sale sign in any store is like a magnet. Hubby says I can spot a sale sign a mile away. lol.

Walmart or Target. Something about getting everything i want in just one place. My favorite Walmart even has a McDonalds in it. lol

Barnes and Nobles or Borders. (I love bookstores!)

Lilith,
^^^ dicksbro ^^^ and I share this problem.

05-25-2005, 09:38 AM
the grocery store is my weakness, especially in the summer when i want to grill all the time. (the coals are so expensive...hey,i just realized i am also a charcoal brickette snob :D). i want to buy filet mignon just to make shish kabobs and eat ben and jerry's ice cream.
Lilith
05-25-2005, 09:40 AM
wyndhy I get like that when good produce is in season...I love making fresh foods :slurp: but it's pricey :cents:
wyndhy
05-25-2005, 09:42 AM
your damn right it is!
i love the fresh veggies but have you seen the $ of them lately....even iceburg lettuce is more than 2 bucks a head
*giggle* i said head :D
Half Price books. I can get a little crazy in there. ;)
Electronic stores and music stores (guitars, drums, etc) are dangerous too. :p

Walmart or Target. Something about getting everything i want in just one place. My favorite Walmart even has a McDonalds in it. lol
We got one of those too. Groceries, lingerie, garden supplies, furniture, McDonalds, and a Deli all in one. Its hard to beat.
Other than Walmart.....
Lowes or the Home Depot
Claires
Dollar stores (everything's a dollar, dollar tree)
Any shoe store
Any lingerie store
Hot Topic/Spencers
And there is this nature store in the Memphis Mall and I can't think of the name of it but I can't go in one without getting SOMETHING.
In other words....Anywhere I go that I have money in my pocket.

I love bookstores.Never leave one without buying something even if it's just a magazine.

05-25-2005, 09:47 PM
<---is dangerous in *any* consignment store...much less any store with a "clearance" sign to be found *anywhere* inside the doors. :D
