I’ve been addicted to ordering from Etsy! It’s such an easy website/app to use. You just choose the best rated sellers and can pretty much order anything. They’re good for homemade things. A bit like amazon, amazon has more products but I prefer Etsy because of the quality of products.
Love Etsy. Get so much stuff from there

Ebay for all the random bits and pieces that you can just order, it’s so handy ... you want some Velcro dots? - bingo.

Primark, I have bought nice-quality stuff but amazingly oversized or generous with fabric anyway ... 🤔 maybe same thing.

Lidl‘s because it’s small and most if not all of the basics can be bought, fruit and veg consistently fresh ... plus the exciting ”middle of Lidl” for the offers on gadgets and whatnot.

Superdrug Revolution make-up is excellent, as has been mentioned on here.

Home Bargains, B & M, The Range, all like mini-department stores really but cheaper.

Joe Brown’s clothes for if I fancy a bit more of a posher top than the supermarket finery I usually flaunt.

Selfridges. I drove an hour to the Trafford centre to go last week COs I love it so much. Do I have a selfridges budget? Course I don’t
I love Selfridges! And the Trafford Centre in general tbf. Also live an hour away now but used to live 15 mins from the place 😭 I love how the Primark within Selfridges gives you one of the big yellow Selfridges bags. Love throwing everything in there then strutting around the shopping centre like I’m rich 😂😂I always dress up to go to the TC too for some reason, it opened when I was about 6 and I thought it was the height of glamour and opulence and I suppose it’s just stuck with me 🤣

Costa/Starbucks. Not even for thecoffee- used to sit in there for hours studying and people watching, it was always noisy but it was a constant noise so easier to filter out and drift off into my own world. I miss them now they’re not opening in lockdown ☹

I don’t miss high street shops at all if I’m honest... I feel as though I used them ‘for somewhere to go’ in town rather than for stuff I genuinely needed. Although admittedly a mooch around B&M/Home Bargains/The Range/TK Max is a day out in my eyes 😂 great fun

I don't shop very often but I'm a slut for shops that make you think you suddenly have a dire need for every ridiculous random item they sell. Ikea and Flying Tiger are my Disneyland. I'm also a mad person whenever I visit Foyles but haven't been in London in a long time and I have a strict book spending ban for myself anyway, so I could only sigh at overpriced stationery if I were there. Fortnum and Mason and John Lewis, especially around Christmas.

MUJI. They sell Japanese goods. I want everything but only usually buy the stationary. I go once or twice a year. Spent £10 nothing extravagant lol.

Ikea. My happy place. I was addicted to their candles.

I’ve been in my minimalism phase for almost 5 years now. It’s hard to make me buy things i don’t need.

Sostrene grene … I find it weirdly relaxing.

Homesense

John Lewis, Liberty, Fortnum and Mason on the rare occasion I head back to England.

I always did my food shop at Waitrose when I lived in England and really miss it.

Decathlon because I love new sports equipment

I love little new age shops ... they're a treasure trove of all sorts of things.

I went on a bit of a road trip recently (flew to another city then drove back up the country), and stopped in at several little towns along the way ... places where I'd never been before that are off the beaten track. At almost every one, I found exactly that type of store, and came home with some lovely treasures.

I'm addicted to buying any new Lacura stuff Aldi bring out as I can't resist a good dupe. I also buy most of their candles.

Also a Home Bargains addict and love when I find more expensive brands in there. Recently they've had Burts Bees, Nspa, Maui, OGX, Childs Farm and Lee Stafford products.

Liberty. My fave store ever. I’m addicted in the sense that I look on line every day at what’s new. Beauty, home , fashion and when I’m in town I always visit. Thats not to say I buy all the time , unfortunately I don’t have that budget! But for treats and special occasions I like to indulge.
 
John Lewis and Charity shops . I don’t buy often so I love a nice quality piece from JL, (not designer ) I’m also a huge fan of charity shops .
