Not at all. I have no problem with going to the discounted clothes section, or shops such as Lidl, Aldi or Poundland (although Poundland isn't as cheap as a lot of people think - you can get some of their items cheaper in supermarkets!). Must admit, I do get a bit excited when it comes to saving money

[Pandapop]

I'm more bothered about people getting something I love before me.

[ßazza]

No its not an issue for me.

No different looking at food items on sale or technology type stuff.

I prefer saying, I bought my monitors for 250'ish pounds each even though they are both worth 350'ish pounds each. Good find on my part tbh lol. Saved 200'ish quid, nothing wrong with that - At the time I could of technically sold them for 200'ish pounds profit. Nothing wrong with saving 1-50 quid on clothes either.

Nope, I actually pride myself in finding bargains. I buy most of my clothes at charity shops. I would feel embarrassed and ashamed if a spent a large amount of money on something so frivolous as designer clothing.

Not at all. If anything, spending less money makes me feel better. I love finding great items on sales and going to charity shops (it's surprising the stuff you can find).

I bought an amazing dress from a charity shop a while back and people keep complimenting me on it. I love their reaction when I tell them it only cost a few pounds.

No I like bargains, though when things are all tightly packed and falling off hangers I get a bit put off and can't be bothered, I tend to seek a bargain all year 'round. I'm a bit of a charity shopper and have got clothes that would be really expensive that look in great condition. I tend to feel more embarrassed if I spend more on myself. Like last year I bought a pair of boots for about a £100 and when people asked about them I felt a bit ashamed at the price. (They haven't lasted either ).

When I do actually get out to shop, I don't feel embarrassed going for discounts. The markup on some items are horrendous.

There are certain shops which make me feel embarrassed to go into though, admittedly.

I actually do get embarrassed, its not because I am a snob or anything, i always buy discounted stuff online, in fact that's the only stuff I usually buy online, but in shops i feel people are always judging me, looking down on me, and by purchasing something discounted they will assume that i am poor, which rationally is absolute nonsense, as when i am working and someone purchases something reduced, i don't think 'oh look how poor they are' like I assume they would think of me, i think 'that's a good price they got that for, smart shopping'. So overall its my stupid negative thoughts that give me these stupid irrational thoughts.

I never use vouchers through sheer embarrassment either, (what's the point in me having a tesco clubcard?)

Although I feel a lot of this embarrassment may relate to my time at school, where i came from a poor background whilst many of my peers came from wealthy middle class backgrounds, so whilst they were doing safari in Kenya, I was learning dance moves from a redcoat in Camber Sands, but then again coooooor do they feel left out when the agadoo song comes on.

[Tom123]

Nah not at all. I find it quite fun to look for discounts and special offers and I am a big fan of charity shops even though I very rarely buy anything from them.

I enjoy fighting off old people and angry mums at the reduced sections in supermarkets.

But I don't really care what random people think anyway.

[custom_fusion-lqx]

using vouchers is one thing i simply couldnt do in a shop, online obv dont care.

[ßazza]

I actually felt embarrassed today buying a card due to the high cost of it. However I had hard time finding one being very specific to what I wanted.. So hadnt much choice. That being a rather rare problem and rare to spend so much.

I couldnt look the woman in the eye and tried to block out her voice when she told me how much it cost. Left asap afterwards.

I honestly felt rather dirty and embarrassed to venture so far into the whole commercial bs thing. However that was a exception to the rule rather than the norm. Didnt stop me feeling embarrassed though. Rare I cant look people in the eye but this was one of the exceptions lol.

I'll happily take any and all vouchers out of your hands.

I'm actually a bit of a sucker for cards, that kind of thing and gifts for other people I don't think so much about the money with though obviously to some extent as I can only give according to what I have, though I do think some cards are ridiculously expensive. I'm so fussy with cards I usually spend ages looking.

I was thinking I do get a bit embarrassed actually around my in-laws, normally I'm quite proud of my bargains but with them I don't tend to say 'it only cost a fiver!' They do know I get stuff from charity shops though.

[firemonkey]

I seldom buy new clothes but if i do i go to Matalan.

[luluab]

I enjoy finding a bargain any where ..love shopping...but hate standing in long lines to pay.

Enjoy Christmas all

[pinkwafer]

There was a point when I felt embarrassed buying clothes period. It was awful how I was.

But, no, not now. I guess if I was having a bad day (where I feel all depressed, ugly etc), then I would do yeah. On them days I mostly avoid people all together.
