Hello guys, do you have a certain budget every month for your shopping spree? if yes, do you buy sale items, and where?

I have a budget - as little as I can manage!
As for shopping sprees - haven't been on one of those for years.
Honestly, I have found setting a budget is no good if things are really tight because you start thinking "I have that much left from my budget so I can have that", I simply stick to the idea that if I NEED (not want) something then I will get it as cheaply as I can from wherever it is available at that price, if I don't need I don't buy.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

I buy things where they are cheapest, don't have time or money to care about so-called "green issues", there is not a specific place or shop. I don't think many people on this site would say they only buy from X or whatever, the idea is to save money.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
