I only like bargains on things I need. I don't really shop. I decide I need something and go buy it. Then get the hell out of the store as soon as possible.
Once in a blue moon I'll go to an estate sale and wander about. That's about the extent of my bargain hunting although I rarely buy anything..
 You would get on well with my dad.
Me and my brother have longed joked he's in and out of shops so fast, he leaves the car engine running.
 I had to stop shopping with my ex early into the relationship. I whined constantly about wandering aimlessly in search of nothing in particular.Â
Â
My daughters have taken after me. They know what they want, get it, and get the hell out. No doubt they are still traumatized from being drug around stores as children.Â
 My mum and dad haven't shopped together for years for that reason.Â
I've started buying my food shopping online, says me buying a load of stuff I don't need.
Daisy's dog food has shot up in price, I noticed this morning.
Plus I have decided own brand cereal is as good as Kellogg's

I love a bargain, and shopping in all the stores. I can't walk past a pound shop either, I just have to go in.😄

 I do make lists, usually manage to lose them before I even get to the shops.

The most useless list was a few years ago....went out for a bag of peat and some annuals....came back with a car.

 Tell you what, you better hang on to it or buy a new petrol one soon because the price of petrol cars is soaring and the price of all electric is fucking ruinous.

 I love my car, it's a cabriolet, and (touch wood) been reliable, sporty, and probably the most favourite car I have ever owned.
I wont change it till I have to.

Add a weeks shopping up, and it's putting a good few £££ on every shop. Come the Autumn, when household and fuel prices rocket again...I think a lot of people are going to be really struggling.
