I refuse to pay full price for clothes or shoes.

Ice cream. I will only buy it when its a buy one get one deal.


I guess that's not a necessity of life though, is it?

Books. I get a 30 percent discount at the bookstore, being a part-time employee. I don't think I'll ever quit because books are not cheap. But when they're too much even with the discount, I'll go to used book stores. I also love mooch.com, where you trade books with people. There's always the library, of course, but I read books over and over again and some (OK, many) I must own!


I'm getting better at not paying full-price for clothing. Before it wasn't because I'm a huge clothes horse, but because I hate shopping and so when I go, I buy and get out! :-)


Great question! And "flushing your money away" made me laugh!

I never buy clothes or shoes or bags full price, unless it's something super classic that I need for work (i.e. a suit or something like that) that looks great and I know I'll wear again and again. Otherwise, there is no point- they'll just put it on sale in a few weeks anyway!

Books. I use my borders coupons. I will wait until my coupons come before I buy books or CDs or dvds.

If I may, I will reverse the question to "What will I pay full price for"... and the answer is gasoline, because I have absolutely no choice at all, and Mocha Frappucinos from Starbucks the three or so times I a year I break down and have to have one.

I did recently pay full price for a new duffel bag because I was staying at a Hilton and couldn't bear the thought of taking the Samsonite duffel bag that I paid 75 cents for at thrift store a couple of years ago (but I got the $30 one instead of the fancy $80 one). I did buy a couple of new pairs of very expensive shoes this year, but they wouldn't have been on sale. Other than that I go to the thrift store or consignment store for clothes, and I know how to buy Birkenstocks on line from the manufacturer, and food I buy on sale, unless I am having a particular person over then I will buy whatever for him, because he is the same way with me.
