Thought I’d create a thread for shopping lovers (I couldn’t see an existing one). Who is excited for the reopening of physical Retail outlets tomorrow? Anyone going shopping tomorrow? Has lockdown changed your shopping habits and perceptions?
My sentiments exactly there are a few things I could do with getting, but nothing that can’t wait a little longer. It’s still Easter holidays for another week where I am, so I’ll not risk the madness just yet!I'm going to leave it for a while. I suspect its going to be mental.
Aww yes forgot about kids being off school I will wait until they go back then.My sentiments exactly there are a few things I could do with getting, but nothing that can’t wait a little longer. It’s still Easter holidays for another week where I am, so I’ll not risk the madness just yet!
I’ve really cut back on my online spending this lockdown. In the first one I went a bit bonkers, along with everyone else. This time it’s been different. Also interesting and sad at the same time to see how the landscape of the high st will look, with lots of the large names like Top Shop and Debenhams going🥲I’m excited and going to make real effort to not shop online and support high st retail
Yes Card Factory! I’ve spent so much more money on cards this past year because of it being shut. I paid £2 for wrapping paper the other day when in card factory it’s so much cheaper!I despise going shopping - for me there’s absolutely no enjoyment in trailing the shops for hours looking for something. I like to look online, filtering searches for what I want and voila it pops up, few clicks and it’s done. But then I barely buy any new clothes - I’m not a follower of latest trends and fashions so buying clothes is just when I need something (somethings now too small/too big, holes in etc).
I have no intention of rushing back to the shops when they reopen. The only shop I do need to open is the Card Factory so I don’t have to spend £3+ on supermarket or Moonpig cards for birthday cards when the 99p ones at Card Factory are more than suitable. I tend to bulk buy for a few months so the price difference is really noticeable!
I LOVE Card Factory! I also bulk buy, mainly because my memory is tit and it’s good to look organised when I’m not reallyI despise going shopping - for me there’s absolutely no enjoyment in trailing the shops for hours looking for something.
