Er, did I mention that if I buy designer clothes, they're second-hand?

No?

Ooer, the cat's out of the shopping bag, lol.

But Lynn, I'm the same as you.

I don't go out especially to buy branded goods or supermarkets own stuff......I have tried them all over the years and buy what I like best....

I must say though that I have a price for something I am going to buy, and will not pay over that price unless it is really special....

thank you for your replies...

i buy most store brands and its great for my budget..

kids never complain..lol

we enjoy what we eat...

a friend called as i was unpacking shopping

and said ... are you on a bad week.. is this to tide you over.

no i said this is normal... she said ... god never had you down as a cheap skate

i said no i am not...i just know how to spread my money..

like i pointed out i am in my own home with kids .. not single and still living with parents..

it realy riled me up..

love n hugs

Aldi,,have tried certain stuff,,,,,,,,didnt like,

Liddli,,ditto,

Asda,ditto,

same as for other shops,,if I have tried what I like of the branded stuff and other shop stuff it dont match up,then I stick with branded,,,and lots of own shop stuffs arent the same as branded,or more in fairness what I have got used to tasting,,,,,,,,

Lynn..your friend isn't Margot Leadbetter is she ?(Good Life)

Well Las.... as far as I'm concerned, that makes you a very wise woman.

I have always had to watch my pennies, and if that is being a cheapskate.... we would never have managed without my method of shopping.

Great for those who can afford to shop 'high off the hog', but not everyone can.... as in YOU &and ME Lynn.

Don't let it rile you Lyn, each to their own. if your friend can afford to buy the more expensive stuff it is up to her, but it is not up to her to say you are a cheap skate.

We buy the brand we like of the particular thing we are buying. Always buy more expensive coffee as I don't like the cheaper makes. however, I don't like Maxwell House either so i am fussy. Buy own brand baked beans etc, prefer named pasta (i.e.tagliatelle) but our weekly shop is a mix.

Clothes I am as likely to shop in primark as M&S and would buy from charity shops if I ever saw anything I like. The ones in Gloucester always seem to have a load of 'rubbish' though.
