Yes, 30% at least…..Most brands have 20% sales intermittently all year long so that doesn’t catch my attention. With 30% or some BOGO’s or free extra’s then I will be much more inclined to shop more seriously.
Big ticket items that are either door-busters or dirt cheap! That’s how I was able to get my Roku TV years ago, a really beautiful lambskin leather jacket, and also a few PMG Mothership palettes and some of my lipsticks that were higher priced usually.
I also feel like 30% is where I start getting interested. I still wouldn’t buy something just because it was 30% off, which I have some friends do all the time. “Oh, look it is 30% off, I am going to get it”, when they hadn’t needed it or even mentioned wanting one! Not for me. As we all know, most of my shopping is for my daughter. I don’t need anything more and Aislinn has already given me an ultimatum that she wants most of my stuff sold before I pass away so that she doesn’t have to deal with the headache of it so that is my plan for spring. I am going to box up what I want to keep and store it in my brother’s basement and then just open the house with a notice that everything in the house must go. When Aislinn comes home at Christmas, we are going to go through and pack up what she does want of my stuff so that it is easier for me to do my part later. When I think about it, it is overwhelming!!
My daughter purged my makeup and my books! 2 large plastic bins full of books!
I no, I have quite a library also and my taste in reading material is not my daughter’s. She is of course, a product of the IT age and rarely reads an actual book. She prefers poetry and in some ways, more immature books. My daughter is quite intelligent and completed her schooling with honors. Her attraction to what I would call teenage literature puzzles me. I have tried to move her to other genres but she is resistant. In any event, like you, I have a ton of books and have started going through them to determine what I am keeping and what I will feel comfortable getting rid of. I like almost all genres and have a broad interest. When I was growing up, I read encyclopedia’s just for fun and have a wealth of useless information stored in my head.
My daughter is going to go through my makeup when she is home at Christmas and will see if there is anything she wants before I get rid of it all.
It is sad to think about getting rid of things that I have spent my life collecting. If she planned to have any children I would save some things for my grandchildren but she has assured me she is not having children. She has no interest. The other sad things is when I think about the amount of money I spent to purchase these collections and how little I will recoup when selling in the backwoods of Montana, I get a little physically
ill !!
At least 20%, a significant and useful gift with purchase (customizable preferably, but at least not dump almost expired crap) and the cash back must be at least 10%.
But honestly, I can get 20-25% off Paula’s Choice at least every other month and even MAC has 30% off sales randomly 2-3 times a year… so sometimes Black Friday deals aren’t even that big.
It would be 40% off, free International shipping (which PMG offered once) and, of course, the products that I know I like and use and perhaps one or two to try (if it’s a skincare brand).
Hi Christine,
This is off topic from the discussion prompt, but I changed my login information a few weeks ago, and now I’m not getting the daily digest anymore. Is it something I did or new settings on the site?
30% and free shipping, or at least 40% without.
I tend to buy more indie brands for everything these days and I know they can’t do as big of discounts. So I’ll go for 20% off + free shipping on any order (or at least free shipping on a much lower threshold than usual). Especially if their usual sales are 10-15% off or if it’s the only sale they do per year.
This year I think the only sales I’m going to do are Dracula Clothing pre black friday because I really want a new brocade corset, and Nomad Cosmetics cyber monday because I want the Ghost Town USA palette.
I agree, 30% plus free shipping.
