    I don't go shopping until I know exactly what I want, and how much I'm willing to pay for it. I then find it, buy it, and come home.

    During my trip to Florida, we went to some 5 star resort that sold timeshares and this guy spent an hour and a half trying to get my parents to buy a timeshare. He even got the price lowered from $30,000 to $13,000. Sadly, my parents couldn't afford it at the time. I did my best to convince my parents to get it, but they wouldn't let up. We at least got a VIP pass for a week there, though.

    OMG I am *the* most indecisive person ever when it comes to buying things. It's stuff like birthday cards, chocolate bars which are the worst, and then consoles and games which I always have to think about for AGES cos of the cost and stuff, and weighing up whether it's really worth it.

    The only thing I never really have much trouble deciding over is clothes cos if I find something I like that fits I usually just buy it. Unless it's really expensive then I guess I'd have more trouble =P

    And I'm still trying to decide whether to buy this moose from the toy shop... :moose:

    I'm horribly impulsive, and horribly impulsive. BAD combination. So I jump on something I think is cool, and as soon as I pay for it, I go "weeeeellllllll....I don't think this was such a good idea."

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Im always far to indecisive over things, unless i am going to the store and plan on leaving right then and there.

    If it's a major purchase, I definitely do research beforehand. Even CDs - I download some mp3s, see if I like them, then decide if I am going to buy the CD or not. Some CDs (Radiohead, Pink Floyd, etc.) don't need previewing. Food is obviously purchased on the spot, as are awesome t-shirts and <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5907876177&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT">Hungry Hungry Hippos</A>.

    Nope. I shop around. I'll drive to four different places just to save a dollar on a game when I probably wasted three times that in gas driving around in the first place. Must get the best deal though!

    I usually know what I want when it comes to shopping, but I'll have a good look round the shop to see what else there is. But seeing as I love buying jeans, I'm picky and usually end up taking most of them back to get the other pair.

    I only go places to get a certain thing. I don't go "shopping." I go out and buy something that I want. If it's a game, I go to Best Buy and get <i>that</i> game. If they don't have it, I go to Target. I then go to Gamestop. And so on and so on. I'm very decisive in my shopping.

    I fret over minor purchases. Especially clothes. I found the best shirt at T.J. Max and I didn't buy it because I was like, "Oh, I'll never wear it, the sleeves are too short, the neck is too low, blahblahblah", and now that it's back in Chicago and I'm back in California, I really want it.

    I rarely impulse buy.

    Well, when I enter a shop, I decide to myself that I will something in that store. I'll still look if I can find anything better to use my money on within that store of course. I guess I'm kind of decisive, yeah.
