Do you ever use shopping therapy?

When you get a bfn or are depressed does it make you want to shop?

What do you buy?

Shopping always makes me feel good! I usually like to buy clothes or makeup. Or electronic devices.

Not really... partially because we are in baby saving mode. I'm really not a HUGE shopper anyway unless it's the grocery store! I know, I know... I'm a dork. I just love cooking & baking. HA!

Yes. More often then I should! My DH went away for work.. and after he left yesterday I went out and spent over $100 in one store. Bad I know.. I'm returning it tomorrow

whenever I get AF it makes me want to shop online. The usual culprits are cloth diapers and pad.... unfortunately i have reached cloth pad nirvana, and now have to find something else to splurge on. lol

I am not a big shopper either but I do sometimes splurge when I am in a funk. The things I tend to buy are never clothes. I do sometimes get carried away with makeup (not sure why because I never wear it) and ttc supplies. But, I don't usually buy ttc supplies when I am depressed.

Totally! I bought myself some new shoes last week, but usually I try to stick to small stuff.

I love to shop-clothes are my favorite oh and purses! But lately I love cookbooks and books on fertility! God do I love Chapters-I love to get a latte from Starbucks and then browse the cook books! Wow now I'm a loser!

If I had money to blow I would. I love shopping for new clothes, but I'm also overly practical and tend to talk myself out of it. Mom likes to spoil me, though so last week she bought me a new shirt from Penney's and a new bathing suit.

I also like to buy things for the apartment too and since photography/drawing are hobbies, I like to buy nice, matching frames & mats. I don't have too many bare walls now and I have a closet full of frames & mats.
