Soror, I could have wrote this. I LOATHE the Waffle House. It's sooooooo dirty!

Count me as one of the people who doesn't like the Waffle House. When the first one opened around here, they were pretty nice. Then they just got filthy all of a sudden. I can't eat in those conditions.

I can't shop at TJMaxx, Value City, Marshalls or any other store where it's acceptable to throw items on the floor and leave them in piles all over the place. I just can't get over the presentation of the merchandise at these stores. I'm not digging through all of this mess, even if there is a $9 blouse in there somewhere.

Grocery stores that make you bring or buy bags should be burned to the ground. My first and last visit to one of these occured when I saw that the food is just sitting in the cardboard boxes its shipped in. This is just the ultimate in lazy to me. You want me to buy this stuff, right? Things just look grimey there. Yuk!

I like Walmart for household items, but sometimes I just don't feel like going in that big of a store.

Ok I will be the one and only man to post in this thread. I'm not a "store snob" but I have a rule. Once a cologne or perfume is available in a drugstore or Wal-mart, I will not wear it.

Me too!

thats funny cuz i was in walmart the other day and i saw that they were selling White Diamonds, and i rememeber when that used to be Errrrybody's fave scent.

i am not a snob to most stores but there are some that I will turn my nose up to like it's okay to have a few pieces from old navy (they can have some cute sweaters!!:D ) but if every item you own is from there, thats a problem...

also when i was in high school, these particular brands were a no no (at least where i was from) and now that im older, i see a lot of people rockin them, and im like oh HELL naw!!!
FILA or Reebok sneakers
FILA anything
FUBU
colored timbs:rolleyes:
thats just my two cents!:cool:

LOL @ White Diamonds! I remember when my aunt got a White Diamonds gift set one Christmas and she was so happy. White Diamonds and Passion (Don't forget Passion for men). I remember those days.

They sell a lot more recent perfumes and colognes at the drug store than they used to. I saw Curve, Nautica, Britney Spears, JLo, Kenneth Cole and a few other good ones this past week.

Speaking of perfumes, Ashanti has a scent out and it is only available at Walmart. :eek: I couldn't believe it, because Beyonce's and JL's perfumes are in department stores. That is just another sign that Ashanti is not on the same level. :rolleyes:

Store Snobs? LOL

I.LOVE.IT! :D

NO: It's Fashion....um, no, it's not!
KMART: It's DUSTY! Fashion Cents/Rainbow/Piggly Wiggly, (mom and pop store) Hi Nabor/Sears/JC Penney/Cato/Shoe Carnival/Shoe Depot/Payless/

WalMart's bathrooms are always filthy. I just make sure my bladder is empty before I get there.

I think I'm a store snob and a label snob. I drive right by the Walmart that's on the corner from my house to go to Target. I haven't stepped foot in a Sears or JC Penney's in years. In college Lerner's/New York & Co and Old Navy were my joints but the quality has gone down to me. Plust Old Navy's clothes seem to target a much younger generation.

The stores that I frequent are Banana Republic, Limited, Nordtrom's, Nine West, Enzo Angiolini, Anthropology, White House/Black Market, and Burdines-Macy's (just to name a few ;) ).

Now...I do go to Ross and TJ Maxx but only for their shoes and handbags and I have walked out with some bargains on name brand things. I can't look through the racks because I feel like I'm at a swap meet or flea market.

I used to LOVE EA's Sunflowers. If I'm not mistaken, I saw it at a drugstore.

Yeah you did. Don't forget Vanilla Fields. My momma wore the hell out of Sunflowers and Vanilla Fields. I'd throw up now if I smelled Vanilla Fields,

Re: Store Snob???
 

For the most part, I like to *keep* my money so I am not really into the designer stuff b/c I just don't see how it is much better than other non-designer stuff in many instances (however, I do have a couple of coach purses that I bought in 2000). However, I am a snob when it comes to hotels (won't stay in anything with an "Inn" in its name) and when it comes to spas (I prefer the real spas, not the nail salons - I prefer the spas with the resorts attached best). My snobbiness is mostly about quality not about wanting to pay a bunch to feel like I have gotten something worth having.

SC

My name is Mocha and I am a Lowered Expectation Shopper

I shop at Payless, PayHalf (Think Payless for clothes), and DANICE (local $10 store)

I look forward to dining at the Waffle House, Hardees, and Dairy Queen

AND ...I buy all of my perfumes for 99 cents. My brand of choice: Jordache. I buy a variety of imitation scents:

"Dolce & Gabana"
"Escape"
"Cool Water" (For Women)

No fancy schmancy stores for me http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de//nono.gif

I'm 9dstpm and I too am a Lowered Expectations Shopper. This is due to my single paycheck status. I have Store Snob tendencies. If I had the cash, you will find me at Marshall Fields, Macy's, Coach, etc. I'll gladly shop at Payless for my shoes but I CANNOT shop at Value City, Rainbow, TJ Maxx, AJ Wright, ANY store that looks like a garage sale. I cannot shop in disarray. I must feel peace and harmony when I shop.

I will shop at Wal-Mart for everything else but I hate their clothes for plus size women. They are so dowdy and old. I may have some curves and such but I wanna look stylish too. That's why I shop at Avenue. Lane Bryant is a little too bo-ho for my taste, but their underwear and lingerie is really nice.

I'm starting to like Tarjay (Target) for clothes and accessories but I LOOOOVE their sheets and comforters. I heart this purple sheet set/comforter/duvet cover and I MUST have it!!

I agree with Nupe4Life about not wearing cologne/perfume from discount stores. No way. I used to work at Wally World and my sister used to work to K-Mart and we know that when those scents hit the stores, they are watered down by the companies so that they can sell more of them at a cheaper price. I will buy my good perfumes from Marshall Fields or Vickie's Secret (Happy, Happy Heart, and Dream Angels Heavenly).
