Default How many bags do you purchase each year on average?

Let's divide the bags into two categoris: more than $500 (after all discount and tax), less than $500.

Wallets, cosmetics bags are not included here.

Mine:
More than $500: I try to make it under 5 but I guess it's 6 for me.
Less than $500: about 4 and each of them cost less than $100, average $60.

I really feel guilty . And my problems is I can't part with any of them and I end up with a stuffed closet. Please suggest whether you think I'm too addicted to purses.

More than 500$: 1-3
Less than 500$: 5+

Edit: I am trying to get as many bags as possible on sale. Therefore I often score 500-1000+ bags to a very, very good price!

Well, you're part of this forum so it's pretty safe to assume you have a love/addiction to bags hehe.



More than 500$: 1-2
Less than 500$: 1-3

I usually try to save up for the 'big ticket' bags rather than buying smaller/impulse buy bags. I want just the classic, versatile pieces that'll go with any occasion/outfit. I like to think I save more money & space that way. Plus, all my bags get equal 'play time' haha.

<$500 = 0

Nothing against ultra-designer bags, but they just don't fit into my everyday life.

Thank you for your answers ladies. It looks like that even based on this forum's standard, I overbought. First thing tomorrow I will thank my DH for his understanding. Then I will try my best to ignore those bag deals and limited editions.

tatertot, maybe you can teach me how to store so many bags .

Last year:
More than $500: 1-2
Less than $500: 7-8

This year:
More than $500: 1
Less than $500: 3

I've slowed down a lot this year because I'm running out of room to store them all. Hopefully I'll pick up again when I get my walk in closet.
