Not me. Not even close. And fortunately Mark didn't see the article - he complains about stuff more than money (I pay my bills).

I do hide some of the stuff I buy for Alan, because Mark complains about stuff (meanwhile he tends to overbuy food...makes us even) - but both of us spend on sale/clearance/special stuff - no way would I spend 1200.00 for a purse (I abuse them anyway).

I just bought a new purse for $17, on sale at sears. I looked at it at least three times before I bought it. I had the hardest time paying for something I could just as easily make, Robert finally made me buy it.
Clearance is my weakness though, man if something is like 90% (like target sometimes does) I can't stay away from it. If I find something at one target I'll go to the three targets closest to us just to see how good the clearance is. It's very sad.

I've gotten great stuff at Target clearance.

Last January on the day of 90% off toys - I hit 3 targets. And I had the 10% charge discount reward card in hand!
