Now I can be a cheapskate, but I always hunt for bargain deals and sales. For me it’s with clothes or Blu Ray triple deals and charity shops.
Even if I was working I was still more a “check the sales first” kind of guy, didn’t matter it was shoes, t shirts and jumpers I browsed that always.
It may be obvious like any normal person looking for some good deals, but generally I focus it always on that as I like to “quantify” more for my payment.
As for normal paying? Probably gonna be games, a suit or decent work clothing to go with the role to show some seriousness but that’s about it.
Literally my entire wardrobe is sales clothing.
What about you? You more of a “sales hunter” kind of person or do you go for normal sold items often?.
Let me know!
It depends on what I’m shopping for and what I intend to do with it. For clothing, since I work long hours as a welder, I buy cheap 100% cotton long sleeve shirts at thrift stores. They’re all going to get burned up over time, so their design, color, and/or logo doesn’t matter in the slightest. Cheap and disposable is the goal there.
Sometimes I’ll shop at thrift stores for specific types of electronics or metals not for what their intended function is, but rather for what I can turn it into or use it for. I once bought a thin wall steel pot, cut it up, flattened it out, and I now cut pieces off to fix other things.
The last thing I fixed with it was a gash in a dryer drum. I cut the damaged section of the drum out, drew an outline on the flattened steel pot, cut it out, rolled it a little, and TIG welded it into the missing section of the drum.
