Just when I’m able to exercise self-control to not buy more kits, here comes another opportunity! Lol

How do you keep from buying every kit that you like - especially when there are such good deals?

and in my case also the exchange rate. Right now $1NZD is only worth just under $0.65USD so buying anything hurts and has done for quite awhile, it’s been a long time since the difference was only 20%
 
So hard. I made some less than responsible choice last year that have caught up with me this year, so I try to keep that in mind! While memory keeping is an amazing legacy and gift to my family and to myself, ultimately it’s just a hobby and I need to treat it as such. I also try to think optimistically... maybe by next Black Friday I’ll be rich and have a huge budget and I’ll be able to splurge again! Haha.

;) I dont :D I just buy them all LOL
 
Also, I try to participate in challenges and during big events like DSD and iNSD, sometimes you get lucky and win a product or a gift certificate, it’s a nice perk to have when the budget gets tight!
 
I am like Wendy. Being an adult sucks....
lol

That being said, if it's a kit on my wishlist already then I'm more likely to grab it during Oldies but Goodies since the deal is awesome. But I try to wait until DSD and Black Friday sales.
 
Sometimes being on a budget and adulting stink. LOL! There's a kit for that! :w00t:
I really try to grab as many as possible during the Oldies but Goodies & Featured Designer sales, and then with my Bingo (or new Passport) discount. That makes me feel better because I'm getting more for my money. :thumbup:
 
The only thing that keeps me from buying the things I want is not having enough $$ to do so LOL! :P It's very hard to refrain if I do have funds available, especially if I've used all the kits I've previously bought...
 
Oldies but goodies sale is such a good price - i usually buy if it's something I think i'll use, I'm lucky this time because there are 2 on there that have been on my wish list for a while :D
 
I window shop a lot. I put everything in my cart. Then I start weeding out what I can't live without. I end up not purchasing things a lot because I realize I have something else that will work. Its the whole adulting thing... I work 9 months a year and have to save so that those other 3 months are covered.
 
I totally blew it this week on the OBG sale! LOL!! I spent quite a bit of time culling and then got distracted and forgot to buy before time was up.
I just have to laugh at myself! :D

I never thought about the exchange rate and how that affects people when they purchase. I had no idea it was quite a difference from there to here :(

Sadly with everything going on this past week, I completely forgot about the sale! Maybe that's a good way to NOT buy the oldies but goodies--being forgetful! :unsure:
 
I try not to buy anything I know I can't use right away.... so I always think of the photos I have to scrap and no matter how cute a kit is, if it doesn't fit any of my photos, I don't buy it (but it does go in my ever growing wishlist just in case). :)
