It is no secret to those who know me how much I love shopping, if I could I would shop until I dropped. I have confessed several times on The Myrabev Life the reasons why I got into debt and shopping is and was one of those reasons. It has taken a very long time for me to realise that my father’s saying where all true “Beautiful things will always be around and even more beautiful things will be created just when you are able to afford it”. As a child this honestly used to piss me off I won’t even sugar coat it, I absolutely hated it when he said that but long and behold in 2015 there are so many beautiful things that didn’t even exist gazillions years ago (that’s how it feels now). The beauty about fashion which I have honestly only pointed my attention to is the fact that it never dies, so many 70’s 80’s looks are all back in stock, so much recycling happens in Fashion and I never appreciated this then.
Now as an adult there certain items I see and think yes I need to have this in my life, some if I am honest I can do without and some I really can not. But what is one to do when one can not afford to buy the Fashion piece there and then? Well I have an answer for you my lovelies, one can always (1) wait for the sales, (2) save up monthly for the unexpected that can not be missed.
Which is more likely to happen in your case?
For me it is probably waiting for the sales, but I know I can not always be running to my favourite stores and check if the item is on sale instead I can check out websites like Fashionbeans or Groupon even the store’s own website where all the sales you can think of are listed.
I love a good bargain more than the next person so these days after my bills have been paid and nothing is lurking in the shadows I try to check out as many discount code stores to grab myself an amazing bargain. For the rare occasions when I get a chance to visit the stops I have certain days which I know I will grab a bargain and those are days 7 – 14 and 20 – 24. Many people who know me have asked why those days and it’s simple no one gets paid on those days unless you get paid weekly ego many stores have ridiculous sales when no one has money.

I used to be a platinum shopper in my younger days and don’t miss it at all… Thankfully, I kept a lot of my really good stuff and they cycle back into fashion after a number of years. 🙂
Miranda says
Never been a platinum shopper before but I agree Fashion recycles so all old pieces are the must have now
Shannon Peterson says

I have been visiting H&M non-stop here lately. Their deals are really a steal and I can’t believe I haven’t been buying clothing from them before now!!
Miranda says
I am a huge H&M lover but I try to stay away from them as much as I can as its very difficult to steer away from there amazing deals
Joski Byrne says

Kat @ Eat.Love.Live says
I could relate to this post 100%! I still shop far too much but within my means but previously my younger self would put anything I wanted on card and I did accumulate a nice big fat debt! Your tips are great. I haven’t heard of fashionbeans groupon. I’ll have to check it out. Kat x
Miranda says
Fashionbeans has some awesome discounts so does Groupon. My younger self practised the same spending habits too but now wised up
Sisley White says
I wish I loved shopping more! I never really know what suits me so I don’t enjoy it very much. Shopping for bakeware however 😉
Miranda says
It took me a while before I knew what worked and looked good on me and what didnt.
