"to claim you will only buy something you want if its on sale is silly." "to insist that you wont buy it unless its on sale is rather rude behavour" Audrey, the only rude behaviour that I can see here, is yours. Your offensive tones are not acceptable. I don't offend anyone and you are kindly invited not to offend me. When I say that I will not purchase full price, I don't mean that the items are not worth the full price. I said, and said it several times in the thread, that I can NOT AFFORD to purchase all these items at their full price. I have clearly stated that I have a family budget to take care of and that it has priority. Never, ever I said or even implied that the items are not worth their full price. And now, I am waiting for your public apologies for your gratuitous, unpolite comments about me. regards, Orio
