Bad at shopping?
is there any way to improve shopping skills? haha
i know that sounds weird
im 13. vintage-y. very scene
horrible shopper
i always stress out and end up not happy with what i buying in the end
the places i shop at:
wet seal
hottopic
pacsun
claires
icing
zumiez
delias
forever21
agaci too
rue21
and anchor blue
theres just so many things id like to buy
so many sales [especially at wet seal]
but some how i end up ditching half the things i want
i used to be very punk-ish scene. edgier
and i seem stuck on that
i find this cool shirt. buy it
and hate it later =[
i know online shopping would solve my dilema since it subtracts
the other frantic buyers
the empolyees
and the possiblity of hating what i buy since i can cancel the order
but theres shipping and handling =/
so is there any way i can be better at shopping?
thanks in advance! =D
Bad at shopping?
Well, perhaps your feeling rushed. Try setting aside a whole day for shopping so you don't feel so constricted for time.
Also, try to shop alone, that's how I do it best! There's no one else there to say 'hurry up' or 'you take forever'.
Just call your mom when your done to pick you up
Hope I helped :)
Reply:haha, no problem, I love to help :)
I'm short too, but when people ask me if I'm lost I just reply with "No, are you?"
Anyways, add me to your contacts if you like. Happy shopping! Report It
Reply:Well, if you're asking about how to slim down on how much you buy, I can suggest some things since I'm the kind of person who only ever buys something 1/10 of the time I shop.
#1 make sure you buy quality items, especially in terms of material - that way they'll last longer and ensure that you're probably getting something that's more worth your money.
#2 ask yourself if you already have something awfully similar in your closet - I think sometimes people might have too much of the same thing, like I'll want to buy a skirt, but my friend'll tell me it looks like it's the same style as a lot of other skirts I have, so maybe trying for another kind might make a more varied closet
#3 decide whether you REALLY REALLY like it - oftentimes I'll pass something by, and it's just nice looking. I try it on, I sort of like it, but I'm not sure if I should get it. I think that doubt sometimes means you shouldn't get it because you're not 100% confident that that clothing is meant for you and that you totally like it.
#4 try not to spend too much - sometimes things can be quite pricey, and it might just be more worthwhile to wait 'til it goes on sale or something. I'm sure there's a way you can track it or check up on it to see when it'll be less pricey.

There are a number of shopping carts out there, but depending on which payment processor you use (e.g. paypal, internetsecure, worldpay, etc.) it may or may not be compatible with it.
All of the free ones require you to do some programming.

Christmas shopping?
Ok Now last year I did the whole Day after Thanksgiving sale shopping..I was at walmart at like 4am..Will I ever do this again--NO WAY..What a mess. So my question is this...Who is gonna do the whole sale shopping thing? where will you go and how long will you shop all day or just a few hours? How much to you anticipate you will spend the day after Thanksgiving?
For those of you who go out..please be safe and courtious. Keep your purse closed and in front of you. Do not go alone!
Lots of answers I want to see how many people actually enjoy doing this.

I won't be shopping I'll be working and I'm not looking forward to all the rudeness I'm sure I'll have to deal with.

Reply:this christmas i'm just going to make a whole load of handmade stuff and some cheap thoughtful gifts: some caramels for my parents (they're delish and fun to make), a poem for my partner, or maybe a painting although i'm not all that good at it, some little charms or hair stuff or makeup for my girlfriends. no i'm not doing the whole sale thing! i live in england anyway, so the only sales are after xmas!
Reply:it is kinda fun......but.......when you are trampled that's something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:I absolutely love doing this!!!! my cousins, aunts and uncles and i sleep over at someones house and have a big party the night before and then the next morning we leave at 4. we go to macys since there are A LOT of good sales and things there....doorbusters and stuff...shopping on black friday is something i wait for the whole year!! its sooo much fun.
Reply:No way I'm not going out there!!! Besides Grandma is making me give Tina bath, GOSH!
Reply:I`m done.
Reply:i wont be doing that kind of shopping, because i'm done getting all my christmas presents. yeah me!
Reply:Thankfully we don't have a sale day in the UK like you do........but we do have a very, very long run-in to Christmas where we are all bombarded with special Christmas offers, merry Yuletide advertising, etc...........and mince pies seem to arrive in the shops around October these days.
Christmas shopping in London is hideous. Crap and expensive parking, crowded and unreliable public transport, muggers lurking in dark corners to pinch your cash and prezzies, thousands of tourists (god bless 'em), and a massive punch up when you do manage to fight your way into a shop.
I did go to Manhattan for the true Christmas shopping experience a few years ago, and it was pretty much the same.......but the novelty of being in New York made it a lot better.
I have two tips for Christmas shopping:
1. The "Bah Humbug" approach - buy every single present on-line and get it delivered pre-wrapped. Costs a little more, but balances out against the cost of travel, parking, medical fees, etc.
2. The Exotic Christmas Market approach - we have started going to places like Brussels (Belgium), Cologne (Germany) etc where there are Christmas markets. You can buy some cheap old tat for very little money but, because its come from a different country, people will think you've gone to a great effort to buy them something special

Annoying shopping experience?
Just wanna know what kind of annoying shopping experience people have had. Like the saleswoman who keeps following you while your browsing and you just want to ask her to stop following you because you want to shop at your own pace and leisure. Or the salesperson who's really bugging you to buy the product she's promoting and you really dont want to but feel bad about rejecting. Any annoying shopping experience to share? I'm sure us ladies have plenty of stories like that!
Annoying shopping experience?
I find it more annoying when people bring their badly behaved kids along with them while they shop and I have to hear the child cry and throw little temper tantrums. The parents annoy me too, if they know their children are the bad, find someone to watch them, people want to shop in peace, not leave with a headache.
Reply:You must not have children, lucky for those kids. Some people are just an annoying as a crying child, waaaa! you stay home. Report It
Reply:My annoying shopping experience was when I went to Saks 5th Avenue. The sales people hung around like vultures ready for their prey. As soon as I pulled out my wallet, three other people were asking if they could help me. When I caught the attention of one sales person, another girl said she saw me first. I kept telling the sales person that helped me if I she would ring me up and the girl pushed her aside and started ringing the items.
I said, "I'm sorry, but you just lost a customer", and walked out the door.

Reply:last weekend, i went to old navy... and the lady at the checkout counter asks me if i want to get ten percent off by getting a card.. so she hands me this paper to fill out and i'm filling it out and i come to social security number.. i don't know mine and i wouldn't want to give it out to her anway. well she keeps pushing it and says i can't get the card and the discount without putting down my social. she tells me to look at my driver's liscense, call someone who does know, she's just really pushing it even though i told her nevermind. then i get home and i find out it was for a credit card.. and i'm 16. she completely wasted my time.
Reply:my shopping experience really sucks. I live in a 'dead area'. Only 1 Wal-Mart and 1 Kroger and 1 Walgreens. Not much of a choice. And now this w-mart (which needs to move its location and expand) is re-modeling. No need to even go now. Hardly anything in there. Only necessities and in the larger quantities. I am sure it won't be much better when it is done.
Reply:Worst, or at least, most annoying...When your checking out and the sales clerk asks you if you want to apply for a store credit card. Even when you say NO, they keep asking, saying, Oh you can save this much, or you can get this rebate......If I had wanted to put it on their credit card, I would have used it and not paid with anything else..
Reply:in pacsun one time there was a sign that said all winter wear 50 percent off. so i was gonna get a sweater. i brought it to the register and they were like, sorry, its only all the big outdoor jackets. i was mad, because the sign did not specify...
but oh well. i get good deals at bealls outlet.
im wearing a dress right now that i got for 40 cents.

Should shopping carts have horns on them? How about a rear view mirror?
I think they should. Maybe I'll use a portable boat horn. Every time I go shopping I always get behind someone who thinks they are the only person in the world. I go left, they go left, I go right, they go right. They also like to park their cart in front of something they don't buy that I need. I know they don't do it on purpose %26amp; they are just oblivious to what's going on around them. I try shopping at different times %26amp; it's the same thing every time. I thought my timing was off so I started skipping a little bit here %26amp; there %26amp; even that didn't help. I prayed %26amp; that didn't work. I sent someone else shopping %26amp; they screwed up my order. I had it delivered %26amp; they screwed up my order. I asked the managers at the stores to make the aisles wider %26amp; they refused. I'm at my wits end. Maybe I'll get one of those bicycle horns or a bicycle bell. Anybody got any ideas? I like the boat horn idea myself. I'll bet that would wake em up! I'm losing a lot of time in a years period.
Should shopping carts have horns on them? How about a rear view mirror?
Hilarious.
You are very patient. There's something about the supermarket that makes me want to ram my trolley into the backs of peoples ankles!
Especially when they meet someone they know and decide to have a long loud conversation in the middle of the aisle. And then when you say 'excuse me' they give you THAT look as if to say 'oh, what are you doing there? Cant you just go away? We are having a conversation here'.
It drives me crazy.
I think there should be advertisements on television about supermarket etiquette! Keep left (or right) depending what country you are in. Let people past. Dont block the aisle with the trolley while you are deciding which salsa to buy! These sorts of issues... need solving!
I love your boat horn idea though... maybe some flashing light 'indicators' too and brake lights, to let people know if you are going to stop and be there for a while!
Reply:I don't think it will go over but I TOTALLY agree w/you. Have thought of it several times myself.
What I usually do, for those who can hear, I sometimes have literally--after saying 'excuse me,' 'could I get by,' I've gone "Beep! Beep!"
Then, all of a sudden they move !!!
Reply:That would be kind of stupid
Reply:All I know is, I want some of what you're taking.
Reply:YES. My gosh, someone has finally come up with a solution to fix this problem! It's about time. I thought I was the only one that this bothered. They probably drive their cars the same exact way too. Horns, and a rear view mirror. I like it. But how would we get people to use them? First, they have to care that they are not the only one in the stores. These same people know where the horn is in their cars, but not the rear view mirror. Good luck in getting the companies who make the carts interested in your ideas.
Reply:You could borrow a policeman's uniform and carry a scanner that is on. Have this cohort make announcements from the patrol car in the parking lot every five minutes. Plan your aisle trips so when announcements of detainment and pursuit occur, it is on every other aisle that has you walking TOWARD the registers. In that case, everyone will move to the right to let a racing grocery cart policeman by to make a quick exit. Except you never exit. You just go down the next aisle cool and collected. This idea will get you out of the store 50% faster!

Online free shopping carts... which to use? What is the most secure? Which one can I use Scripts with?
Ok, so I am finally trying to take advantage of my online shopping carts installed by bluehost. The problem is, I don't know anything about shopping carts... yet. Seems I have a choice between Zen Cart, Agora, oSCommerce, and CubeCart... So which is the most secure? How about the easiest? What I would really like to do is design or download PHP, ASP, JavaScripts, to use with the shopping cart. Which is the best for that? How about overall with security being the priority? Will any one in particular, (maybe all), allow someone to pay with a credit card then after that is done be able to automatically retrieve an encrypted key and e-mail it to that person? Or e-mail the person with a website link so that they can download something? Wow, the shopping cart world is the most interesting, I could however use a little guidence.
Thanks,
Brian
Online free shopping carts... which to use? What is the most secure? Which one can I use Scripts with?
Nice question. Well I would say that Zen Cart and oScommerce are going to be the best options. They are both php based I believe, I know oscommerce is for sure. The problem with free carts is that they are developed via random developers, so there are quite a few people that know the internal workings. This becomes a problem when it comes to security. There are many holes with the free carts and that is why they are not good to use. You can find a lot of stuff on oscommerce about making it more secure, so all in all I would choose that one. You can setup everything via some php coding to get the settings you want!
Thanks,
Brian
