Okay so for the second time in two weeks I have bought a kit from here full price. And that says a lot because I'm seriously a sale shopper! But the goods are just too great to pass up and for one reason or another I have had to pass while they were on sale for 20% (mostly because Saturdays are busy and I always forget, eek!)
So today I snagged Jackson, Whistle While You Work, and Craft Desk (I'm on Julie's CT so I already had the privilege of working with Revolution!)
But I also had to pick up Cinemania...the day BEFORE it came out I had bought a really cute element pack by Kay Winiecki that was movie/bowling themed so when Cinemania came out I couldn't justify buying it. I only have so many movie photos ya know?
But I caved because element pack or no, Cinemania was TOO CUTE to pass up.
Anyway, yeah...whatever they put in the kits here that make them so addictive...it got to me. It's the same thing they put in McDonald's french fries.
;)
by the way if you're wondering what the other kit was that made me break my resolve it was Battle For the Galaxy. I was broke when it came out so I had to wait :p Misty Cato got me once last summer too though....

Girl, I hear ya. I got Lauren Grier's page templates, Penny's Jackson, and Dani's True Blue. There are a bunch more going into my wish list. I am so glad I'm on Libby's CT, or I'd be totally broke!

I try not to do this, I used to do it a lot but I can't lately, since I'm on a spending freeze. It's SO hard though!

I so understand Jamie....
I (for no good reason other than laziness) had let my printing pile up...so I was on a spending freeze for like 3 months while I saved up enough to get my printing caught up. I hadn't printed in 8 months! It's expensive when you do it that way!
During my spending freeze I didn't buy anything...and I didn't even LOOK. So I know there is a lot I need but don't even know it yet. :p

I pay full price a lot! I end up seeing something that I missed or that I thought I didn't need used in a layout and have to re-shop! I have learned to put stuff on my wish list and wait for sweet rewards tho unless I really have to have something now.

I've been pretty good at waiting, so that I can get the most out of my 40% off coupon. I have bought full price kits occassionally if I was doing a challenge and thought it would work perfect :)

Willpower? What's that? :p
I'm trying to wait for sweet rewards.
I tell myself I work so hard doing all the challenges, my reward is getting the kits! If not I'll go crazy and just buy it! :D

i'm the worst at catching deals, cuz when i wanna scrap, i wanna scrap that second, so unless a sale coincides w/ me gettin my scrap on... i pay full price.
happily it's still cheaper than my paper scrapping addiction was! ;)
