How to stop or SLOW DOWN Shopping! SugarMamma style! || SugarMamma.TV

[@poppylopez5233]

One thing I make sure to do when I go shopping for clothes is I have to absolutely be 100% crazy about it to buy it. No excuses. No "Oh it's just a tad bit tight across the top, but it'll loosen up" or "This isn't the exact color I wanted, but.." or "It's a bit short but I've always wanted this kind of skirt/shorts" etc. That keeps me from buying stuff that I know will either get worn only once or never touched at all. I have to be "OMG I LOVE this top/dress/jeans, it fits perfect, the best color, and it will go with everything!".

Love your statement that if you really love something, you will pay full price. I never thought of it that way but that is very true. Excellent video.

[@SugarMamma]

MsSassyMT Yay! Glad that you like the video! I have lots more coming but in the meantime feel free to share any of my videos with family and friends! xCC (oh and we are on Facebook to!)

[@ArturoGarzaID]

What a beauty, and you're financially savvy. The perfect woman.

[@RachaelBrook]

You've hit the nail on the head in so many ways! Online shopping is such a bank account killer because you don't feel like the money is going anywhere - physically handing over cash would completely change that. Such a smart tip! Thank you!

[@SugarMamma]

Rachael Brook Thank you! Glad that you found this helpful! I have more videos coming your way! xCC

[@lesliecarnes8775]

Balance before I buy. Ahhh yes! Great idea to always check my account before going shopping. Thank you Canna!

[@vickixie7754]

Great tips, definitely will share with my family and friends! Thanks Canna!

[@elsalannen5573]

This video was really helpful! Are you able to please do one in regards to beginning to save and spend in your first ever job? Thank you!

[@MaggyMary]

I love your videos, they are so helpful! Thank you very much! You said that you mainly go to 3 different shops, I'd love to no which they are! You are always dressed so beautifully!

[@winnimizz]

Yes yes, Canna!... please share those shops! Although I do spot Zara, Sportsgirl and General Pants Co bags on your bed which could be a hint :)

[@MC-qp3tz]

Yes please share those 3 shops!! I'm Aussie n would love to know, good quality, long lasting, practical, classy clothes are an enigma to me!!! Please please share!!

[@ileanacardona2248]

Great tips! I've also found that keeping an "Outfit Dictionary" helps out a lot. I take what I have and I write down ideas on how to style that particular piece of clothing several ways.

[@SugarMamma]

Ileana Cardona I do something very simular!! xCC

[@jenstellen496]

This is such I good advice. I'm trying to limit my shopping and be smarter about my purchases. Your advice about a list of all your clothes is spot on. I just down loaded an app where you photograph all your clothes and can actually see your wardrobe on the go.

[@SugarMamma]

Jen Elliott Nice work! I have more videos coming like this one! So stay tunned! Also you can follow me on Instagram @sugarmamma.tv and like us on Facebook!

[@AliceOfAnotherWorld]

I so look forward to these videos every week! Keep them up!

[@SugarMamma]

Alice-Maree Raitt Thank you! So nice of you! I will be adding a video every Monday, so stay tuned! Also, you can follow me on Instagram @sugarmamma.tv and like us on Instagram! xCC

[@tracieogrady5049]

Awesome, great advice. Even going to 2nd hand shops or eBay to save, you can definitely overspend.

[@natrat1219]

I loved this video! I'm watching all your videos in one go, and I love them! Thanks for making them to help all of us!

[@caseylouise001]

These videos are so helpful and insightful! What a wonderful person you are for sharing your knowledge with us. I would love to see a video on exactly what investing and shares are, and exactly how you go about setting it up/long term goals ect, especially on a small wage. Xx

[@emilievandenboom7471]

I love your playsuit! And ofcourse your video's!

[@ginamiller6754]

I absolutely love watching your videos on minimalism!! I am learning so much!! From so many areas!! First, shopping!! I am recovering from over shopping!! I think part of the excitement is getting packages in the mail. Everyday I don't spend on something "extra" I make a note in my diary. It's starting to be a bit easier, but funny how triggers are still there. Best advice from you, unsubscribe!! So companies don't get me on a buy 1 get 1 half off!! I keep watching your videos over, they are extremely helpful. Thank-you again!!

[@meeni9677]

Found you from Chloe! So glad there's someone like you on KZbin who gives realistic goals which real people can achieve! Keep it up :)

[@dibaafch3205]

Amazing tips, thank you soo much 😘

[@MakeupForGlasses]

Loved this!

[@GreenEyesHoney]

I think this is a great thing you are doing here! It's positive and up building. You can easily get swallowed by the trends of mundane things and advice like such help you stay grounded. I personally live my life this way already when faced with financial hardships in the past, some may feel is not possible but it is! I didn't even know they had a name for this, I just like to call it a simple life so you can focus on the important things that make you happy and are worth while. If more people lived by this principle they would be more happy and stress free! Keep up this great channel! xo P.S. Love your bedroom by the way, elegant yet clutter free!

[@SugarMamma]

[@SugarMamma]

Aysha Khatun Thank you! xCC

[@TheSinaTown]

Big compliment on your videos, I think it's great how you give your advice but stay realistic, especially with girls and shopping. The shopping sure is pricey at the end of the month. Great tips, gonna try and focus on them from now on. Something I would advise girls watching youtube videos (thought of it when you mentioned the unsubscribing from newsletters) is not to think we have to buy products being raved about on youtube and our favourite youtubers use. It's something psychological to think that when we buy a product a youtuber we love uses, that we somehow get prettier and more like that person. It may feel that way the first time we use the product, but with time it fades and goes away. That's why I think it's great when youtubers just say that they're using "a bronzer", and the actual product and brand is only mentioned in the decription box.

[@sunsets6075]

What great advise, really enjoyed this video. Thank you

[@nanatav]

Something im finding very helpfull is to make a list of the items i want to buy or that i feel that i need in my wardrobe and everytime i go into a shop i look for those particular items. It helps to not get sidetracked by other things that we initially dont want. I also use this chrome app called Shoptagr where you can bookmark (on online shops) all the clothes you are pining for and when/if they happen to go on sale you are imediatly alerted, this is very helpfull as well because it allows me to buy things that i really want but that i think are overpriced and to just save a bit of cash in general!! Your videos are great and im going to implement some of these tips very soon, thank you so much for sharing :)

[@giinburke]

Thank you!

[@ThisGiirrll8]

I really enjoy watching this video, I'm a big spender in shopping for clothes and watching your videos has helped me. I feel that when something new comes out in clothes I have to buy it and I need a way to stop doing that, my wardrobe is going to explode. I need to wear clothes that I already own instead of buying more and more.

[@SugarMamma]

Anna Adoncello Glad to hear that my videos are helping you! xCC

[@ThisGiirrll8]

I've even mentioned it to my friends to watch your videos. thank you for your advice :) xxx

[@QML153]

that's harsh but true and I believe it work.

[@90Asilalisa1311]

Very useful tips thank you!!

[@SugarMamma]

90Asilalisa1311 My pleasure :)

[@heatherpatterson9564]

Great tips! I often am guilty of all of those. Going to implement this into my shopping style and am hopeful i see a change. Need to start saving for another house so hoping this will help. I have just subscribed as i would love to see what other financial advice you have to offer.

[@JC-wy8ff]

Great advice! Thank you for sharing :)

[@SugarMamma]

Jessica Clarke My pleasure! xCC

[@sharonn5602]

Canna which are your top 4 - 5 shops /brands you go to? you always look lovely!

[@AlinMakeup]

Great video!

[@brankis.3151]

you look beautiful! love your outfit in this video!

[@YaraMelAround]

perfectly said ! waving credit card feels good but hurts later..

[@Nattynatnat1984]

Found your channel from Chloe. So excited to watch your videos. I'm drowning in credit card debt and I have a shopping addiction which I believe if I didn't have I would have paid off my credit card 😭

[@pinchofoomph]

I just adore you. Smart advice. Lovely personality. New Subbie!

[@erin491]

Will you be making a video about general advice on investing? I would love some introductory ideas about where to start or who to ask? Because I feel slightly clueless!

[@SugarMamma]

erin491 Absolutely! I have HEAPS of videos coming out all around investing and building passive income! Stay tuned! xCC

[@MyMissEllaBelle]

I just found your channel and love it! As someone who has been clearing out 'stuff' to make for a more minimal lifestyle, this video was really helpful. Shopping (especially for clothes and accessories) is definitely my biggest challenge. I have a credit card that is paid in full every month, but I've now taken it out of my purse to avoid impulse purchases. I'll be looking forward to videos on investing, as I find it quite scary. I'd love to know where to start!

[@SugarMamma]

MyMissEllaBelle Yay! SO happy to help!I have heaps more coming so stay tuned! You can also follow me on Instagram @sugarmamma.tv and Facebook! xCC

[@the_frequensea]

working my way through the videos... but I have to stop and ask the brand of your adorable romper/set?

[@sarahwilliams349]

Please do a quality over quantity... how to shop for your home/ wardrobe/ accessories video.

[@evielowe8820]

I'm definitely going to start buying things with cash, I don't have a credit card on purpose, but I'll always paypass purchases and not think about the actual money going into it. Thanks for the tip! x

[@SugarMamma]

Evie Lowe Glad you found this helpful! Paying with cash makes you so much more aware! xCC

[@nehanandini1224]

LOVE all your videos

[@donnamantellato4094]

Loved this video. I found it very helpful. Found your channel from Chloe Merello. So glad I did. You have given me some very helpful information. P.s love your side lamps.

[@SugarMamma]

Donna Mantellato Ha ha...I love my side lamps too! They are very heavy! So happy to be able to share my knowledge and experience with you. Feel free to share any of our videos with friends and family! xCC

[@sarahzu8413]

great advice! btw, you look AMAZING!! :-)

[@SugarMamma]

Loveyourselfxo Oh thank you. xCC

[@saranox7319]

Since I am a very visual person I use the free App "snupps" to keep my purchases in sight. I can create virtual "shelfs" and put my "items" in there with pictures, add information about the price, and were I bought it. I got one shelf for everything I purchased like cloth, jewlery, shoes, make up, home supplies. And another one with pictures of my bigger goals wich I am saving up to (like a vision board on my phone kind of) It really helps to remind myself of my possessions and value them even month after I bought them, otherwise I might just forget about them. It compares my short term temptations to my long term goals very handy.

[@SugarMamma]

That sounds like a great app Sara... Thank you for sharing it with us. You come across as extremely organised particularly in the financial aspect of your life which is what I like to hear.m! xCC

[@dingo-dile]

Good advice. As a minimalist with ocd, I am very fussy in terms of what I buy. Fussiness = a fatter bank account and more efficient/cleaner wardrobe

[@SugarMamma]

Thomas Jacob Thank you! Being a minimalist with OCD myself has really helped me live with more meaning! xCC

[@taylahmarcucci5055]

Hello!! Wondering what your 4/5 favorite shops are that you mentioned? :)

[@salvagemania]

Something that has helped me to keep myself from spending is to look at the cost of an item in terms of how many hours I had to work to afford it instead of simply looking at how much money it costs. If you know you had to work 40 hours to afford a $300 dress, you will know instinctively that you really need to love it in order to justify purchasing it.

[@SugarMamma]

+salvagemania I love this tip, thank you for sharing... such a great way to keep your shopping expenses under control. Thank you for sharing with us. xCC

[@jamierichter2040]

How do you organize your itemized list of clothes on your phone?

[@faithmace15]

Hi sugarmamma im interested in your budget template

[@TransylvaniaGirl]

Hello! Just wondering where you bought your cute outift? I really love the blue and white colour scheme :)

[@fashionisbliss]

I loved this video! I'm so guilty of being solely an online shopper and never carrying cash (yikes!). On a side note, I am dying to know where your gorgeous romper is from?

[@SugarMamma]

fashionisbliss Ha ha, it is from Zimmermann

[@jegrinde]

One thing I like to do is have the store put the items I want on hold until the end of the day or so and then continue on to other stores. If I still really want it, I will go back and buy it, and if not, they just hang it back up. I've saved a lot of money doing that :P

[@SugarMamma]

jegrinde That is definitely a good idea! Gives you some time to think about if you really want and need it! Thanks for the tip! I will added to one of my videos! xCC

[@khaulab2791]

I have a tip ... If you like something and want to buy it ... Try it or check the shop to see all the details then go out without buying it ... Wait for couple of days ... See if you still think abt it or it's fine You can live without it .. If not then get it ;)

[@danisky2764]

You hit me right there! It is so true. thanks! Unsubscription done! I will check on my wardrobe over the weekend 'cause it is so true that when we check our closets we found the only few brands that are of quality and the rest are just of same style but ended up donating to others...

[@lotuslife3257]

Just ask yourself "Is this fabulous?" And "Will I care about this in a week or months time?" If not put it down.
