Is it just me......Always overbudget

I can't believe how many people are justifying the shoe price because they are "work shoes"

I wear suits and dressy clothing to work every single day. I've never had to spend $150 on shoes. That's a crock of crap.

I can't believe how many people are *****ing about his shoes. Whatever man. Let him spend however much he feels is necessary for his work shoes.

Holy crappoly. Just let it go.

Isn't that the point of the OP's post? The OP is freaking out about being overbudget...and yet the shoes are what is essentially causing it. So yes...people are going to talk about it. IT'S THE POINT OF THE ENTIRE FREAKING POST.

PSHT! PSHT I say!

I figured the point of the entire post was to ask if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

I have. I totally get it.

I spend the same amount on shoes. Because I don't like wearing crap footwear. Because my back kills me if I wear anything less then the best.

Maybe your back is tough enough to put up with dollar store shoes but some of us don't have that luxury.

So :P. And get over it already.

There's a huge difference between "Dollar Store Shoes" and quality footwear. You can buy a good quality, comfortable pair of shoes for much less than $150.

Oh...and I'm pretty certain you're back doesn't know the difference between brands. Let's be clear here. Most expensive shoes are no different than the cheaper ones when it comes to back/foot/neck pain. Why do you think people spend $80 on orthotics half the time. Because everyones feet are different. It's not like just because a pair of steve maddens cost $150 your back pain will automatically go away.

Brands don't matter, quality does. I can't believe you're arguing with me over shoes????

You do realize it takes 2 to argue right?

I try to buy foods that are buy one get one free. Definately take advantage of store texts and incentives. Famous foot wear if you sign up for email notfications you can save money. I shop dollar stores for some household items. One way to save money as well is diy laundry detergent. For buying a few ingredients you can make enough laundry for a year. I made 10 gallons and gave some away and I have a neighbor that keeps on asking for more. It was a fun activity and the kids have fun. My daughter shared the recipe and gave her teacher a sample. Google duggers laundry detergent. It is also great for sensitive skin, great for HE washing machines as well. There is also DIY fabric softener. I also have a recipe for diy fabric softener we are working on a Science Badge for Cub Scouts and the boys learned about going Green and back to the old days.

I like shoes. Skate shoes, walking shoes, running, casual and dress. Gotta have em all.

What was the question again?

Well, aparantly, paying more than $20.00 for dress shoes for work is the equivalent to sacrificing babies to satan.

And orthopedics will solve any back problems you might experience while you're wearing your cheap *kitten* shoes.

I think the most I ever paid was $100.00 and being a nurse working 14 hour days I really needed a good pair of shoes. I tried buying cheaper shoes but my feet were hurting. I am a Diabetic so my doctor told me buy a pair of shoes that are alot more on the expensive side I wore those shoes for 2 years. I would never pay $150.00 for a pair of shoes for my kids. The most I have paid are around $50.00 and my son did extra chores to earn them. Otherwise Payles BOGO. I would never spend $75.00 for another kids birthday present. Seriously? The most I pay is $10.00 and that is usually for a kid we know. A kid from school the kids are allowed $5.00 and they make their own card and wrap with newspaper. Kmart and Walmart now have layaway. I put some of my daughters school clothes on layaway. I had to pay a $5.00 fee but it was well worth it. She got the clothes before everybody started looking for clothes for back to school. When we want to save for something special we put change in a pickle jar. Also try opening a account with your debit card. It is called keep the change. It adds your change to your account. I saved $25.00 in 4 months. It was enough money to take the kids to the money

I think it was $150, not $20. More tah $20 is akin to sacrificing marshmallow to the fire, maybe. But they look pretty when they burn!
I think $150 if fine if it's not a monthly thing.. If the shoes last you a few years and it fits the budget. My son wears a size 13 and has ankles that roll, I pay a pretty penny for his shoes have good ankle support... I look for bargains and sales, but still.....

Shopping centre. I will not buy shoes unless I try them on.

I have tried on shoes at the store, then went and ordered them somewhere on sale online.
