The only thing DH buys is medical textbooks, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2209024 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:41:23 +0000 MaryM 2209024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It probably evens out, buying wise.</p> <p>But if you mean "shopper" literally, that would be me. I'd rather not buy something at first look. I want to shop around and figure out what we really need and what it costs/where. </p> <p>DH would just like to buy something if we need/want it and get it over with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2209020 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:38:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2209020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hates shopping for clothes and also in stores but he does love ordering random things on Ebay lol! But I'm still the ultimate shopper :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2208935 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:48:04 +0000 ms.line 2208935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a tie! I mostly buy clothes and stuff for the house, and DH buys tons of books and gadgets. We purchase big-ticket items together. We shop almost exclusively online - there are packages at our door nearly every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2208568 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:42:22 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2208568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy pretty much everything but when he buys it's a large purchase. I buy smaller/lower priced items here and there. When DH finally decides to make a purchase it's a hard hit to the bank account! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2208535 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:14:17 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2208535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be even. He will shop for certain things for LO is he really feels she needs it. He also buys himself stuff for his new hobby of running road races. I buy more for myself, but even then I don’t buy that much. I find shopping overwhelming these days. I just don’t have the time for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper/page/2#post-2208503 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:54:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2208503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote, because we're about tied. I had a day off on Friday and went out and bought a whole bunch of stuff for myself which I haven't done in a long time. But when it comes to LO or the house, we totally tied. We both love shopping, so we're always looking to go out and about on the weekends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208473 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:42:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 2208473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, he rarely buys anything, I even buy his clothes most the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208399 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:37:14 +0000 Alivoo01 2208399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely DH! I'd be so rich otherwise. I'm a total saver and non-shopper. He's the opposite. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208366 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 06:55:20 +0000 cat620 2208366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say I buy more stuff, but it's usually things we need. DH buys more expensive things that are usually just for fun or just for him (like clothes). He loves very high end brands, so he spends way more than me on clothes, shoes, and even electronic gadgets! He also buys a lot of books, which add up over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208231 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 21:21:14 +0000 mrscobee 2208231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: that's my DH too!! Keeping Amazon in business... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208211 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:54:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 2208211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We're pretty much the same...he'll buy like 8 work shirts at one time or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208202 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:39:35 +0000 Mae 2208202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the kind of shopping! I buy all our house stuff and probably spend more total than him in odds and ends for us/the house/the baby, but in like $20 increments. I rarely buy stuff for myself though and if I do its like, a $20 dress from target. Spending a lot of money on myself stresses me out and I don't even really want anything expensive for myself. </p> <p>DH has much more expensive tastes. He is into basketball shoes and collects hard to find Nikes. He loves music and buys songs and recorded a lot. He also cares about clothes more than I do and is more likely to go to banana republic and spend a couple hundred. But his splurges are pretty few and far between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208189 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:22:25 +0000 PurplePumps 2208189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me by a long shot. DH doesn't shop, at all. Meanwhile I do so much online shopping that he jokes that I am trying to single handedly keep UPS in business. A lot of it gets returned though, I just always buffer up enough for free shipping :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208187 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:22:08 +0000 BSB 2208187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. I think we both have shopping weaknesses. DH likes buying books, DVDs, comics, and things like that.</p> <p>I have trouble buying things for myself but if I find a great deal on a flash site, I'll get it. This applies to things for our home or dogs. Now that we are pregnant with twins my urge to shop has dropped. Though, I do have a lot of baby stuff that I've purchased over the past 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208179 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:04:28 +0000 mrsjyw 2208179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty even! We buy different things, but we're def shoppers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208175 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 19:56:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2208175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. DH always says he never needs anything so he never buys anything!</p> <p>Shopping gives me an emotional high haha - but I'm also very responsible about it and have budgeted amounts for spending, and never spend money I don't have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208096 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 17:57:16 +0000 Ree723 2208096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Proper shopping - me.<br /> Online shopping - DH!</p> <p>He hates wandering around the shops, unless it is for household goods, DIY stuff, or groceries, and has limited free time anyway, so he is constantly shopping online. Amazon must deliver to our house five times per week, at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2208092 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 17:51:05 +0000 Keybee 2208092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hates shopping. I like it when I'm in the mood for shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207984 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 13:21:14 +0000 Ginabean3 2207984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! But anything big (house stuff like furniture or large expensive toys for DD) I run by him before pulling the trigger or we just do it together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207977 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:55:22 +0000 MrsKoala 2207977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, no question. My DH hates shopping with a passion and I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207974 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:54:29 +0000 Mamasig 2207974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: that is so true! Guess it's a man thing! But when it comes to himself he hardly ever buys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207973 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:48:07 +0000 looch 2207973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband wins for amount spent, I win for volume of purchases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207970 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:44:22 +0000 lemondrop 2207970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All me. He is a necessities only kinda guy. If it were up to him, we could fit everything we own in a one bedroom apartment. </p> <p>He does occasional splurges, but he usually only buys things he needs when there is a surplus or when it's broken beyond repair. I on the other hand will buy to make our lives more convenient and enjoyable. </p> <p>We ran into that discussion the other night when he told me his iphone was slow and ancient but that we couldn't afford a new one. BS. I offered to drop it for him so he could justify a new one in his mind. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207960 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 12:29:21 +0000 catlady 2207960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% me. DH just doesn't buy anything at this point (except things like groceries). It's fine most of the time because I enjoy it. It becomes a problem when DH really wants something that I'm not interested in researching (mostly recently, a vacuum). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207938 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 11:53:22 +0000 LBee 2207938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: I had a client that once told me that if you sent her husband to buy a broom, he would come back with a top of the line vacuum cleaner. I laughed so hard because it described my husband to a T! </p> <p>We are probably equal, but my items are much lower cost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207934 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 11:48:24 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2207934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: my DH has bought himself 3 guns, ammo and a Playstation 4 this year....honestly he can't stop. He's so freaking expensive </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207932 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 11:47:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2207932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take care of all our needs. He is such a frivolous spender. He buys all the things we don't need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207929 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 11:30:02 +0000 Mamasig 2207929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shop more but when he buys something, it's pricy. And don't send him to Walmart for milk. He comes home with so many extras! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-the-bigger-shopper#post-2207923 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 10:54:54 +0000 youboots 2207923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. But getting Amazon prime packages of detergent and kind bars is not that exciting. </p>
