How Much Would You Spend on a Purse? Join Our Discussion!

[BethCooks4U]

Wednesday Morning ChatWe talked about doing a Wednesday morning chat and 9am I believe was the time mentioned. I just realized that we all have different times so how does 10 am eastern sound? Since PC is on central time I thought that would be least confusing. That would be 10est, 9central and 8whatever is next (is that pacific or???

What do you all think?

 

[cmdtrgd]

That would make it 7am Pacific. I believe I mentioned 11am Eastern, 10am Central, 9am Mountain and 8am Pacific - does that work?

 

[pamperedbecky]

Chances are, I may not be home in time tomorrow. The 7 am would probably be a little early for the pacific time zone. Athough I've lost track of where everyone is from. I'm central time. I'd love to chat though! Maybe once my daughter starts up a Wednesday park district thing after Labor Day, it would work for me. Just like we tell our hosts....not everyone is going to be able to make it.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Oh, okay! That works for me too. - so I'll get on at 11 Eastern...

I'm sure it's work out great once we get going with it. Some weeks we'll have more and others fewer - just like our other team and director meetings!

Maybe we can choose a topic to discuss each month so we have a focus. What do you all think?

 

[Chef Chrissy]

I was out yesterday and missed it!

Will this be a definite every Wednesday at 11:00 AM?

Please let me know, I would like to participate.

Thanks.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I plan on trying to be on every Wednesday that I can, for one. We'll have to see how it works out and then decide if that's just right or too often.

I think it might be nice if we picked a topic to discuss each time so we can all have an idea of where the discussion might lead.

I wish there was a way that those coming on later could see what has been typed before they got there so they could catch up with the conversation easier.

 

[PampMomof3]

I won't be able to make it on Wednesday's. I will be returning to work 3 days a week from 8-1:45 on M,W,F. I'm dying for some cash flow down here!! I also want a new car so that motivates me.:money:

 

[BethCooks4U]

I guess we should have sent out a reminder! I missed you all this morning!

 

[cmdtrgd]

DOH! I'm in New York and totally forgot it!!! I was at the American Girl store with my mom shopping for my nieces...WOW what a store!

 

[Admin Greg]

Was anyone at the chat?

 

[cmdtrgd]

I don't think anyone made it... I had a booth at a Job Fair, so I wasn't there. I believe Beth forgot, too. It is on my calendar and I'll be putting the reminder in the shout box on Monday....is there a way to send out an email reminder about it? It was so nice the one week I made it!

 

[BethCooks4U]

Several of us made it that first week, I was alone the second and I don't think anyone was on since that. I have put it on my calendar too so that I don't forget!

Some kind of reminder would really be nice... The shout box isn't a bad idea but I for one jump right to the "today's posts" and often miss what's on there. Greg, I thought you once said something about being able to send out an email reminder??

 

[DebPC]

Was there a morning chat Wednesday?I couldn't make it I was golfing.

 

[cmdtrgd]

There were two of us. I was late, but we had a pretty good chat!

 

[chefkugler]

Yes we did, thank you Kate!

 

[BethCooks4U]

I won't be on the chat tomorrow (at least I didn't FORGET!). I was thinking 9am and I made a 10am appointment and won't get home until at least noon. That's eastern and here the chat starts at 11 -

I'll get it together one of these days! Have a good chat and don't talk about me - unless it's good!

 

[cmdtrgd]

I know I'll be talking about the new promotion!!!!

 

[chefkugler]

Sorry I missed it this week. I woke up this morning with the hives. Ended up at the Doctors during the chat time and spent the rest of the day sleeping.
Not a very FUN day!

 

[cmdtrgd]

Oh, you poor thing! Did you figure out where the hives came from?

 

[chefkugler]

No, that is the best part. When the medication wore off, I was covered again. This has to end! I have 2 shows still this week and don't want to go looking like a freak.:yuck:

 

[TwinGirlsMom]

What price would you consider over the top? There was a time when I considered $80 way too much for a purse but it seems like the ones I gravitate towards these days are upwards of $150!

I am more of a $20 purse kind of girl...But I love when Kohls has great sales because then I can buy a $50 purse for $20....but I don't like to spend more than $20.

 

[jrstephens]

The last two I bought were $100 plus tax. I normally stay around $30 or so. But that is going somewhere like TJMax when I can get a $80 purse for that. I love name brand purses! They're my downfall, ha!

 

[TwinGirlsMom]

Dillards had a beautiful red, patent leather purse in 3 or 4 different styles. The one I liked was $250. I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a purse I knew I would eventually disdainfully discard in 6 months or so. I waited until it went on sale and when it finally got down to $100 they were gone! :cry:

When stuff like that happens to me I figure that I was just not meant to have it...

 

[Christ Follower]

The most I have ever spent on a purse has been around $40 or so. I just cant justify spending the $$ when I have other things that need to get paid for. I love sales.

 

[friday]

I use my purses until they die, and I spend around $40-50 on them when I get new ones.

 

[imported_jenniferp417]

I don't like spending more than about $20. Most of the time, I get bored with them in about six months so $20 is plenty. If I used one for longer, then maybe.

 

[pamperedlinda]

The most expensive purse I ever bought was $200 (Brahmin). I love that purse and use it alot. Is is great quality and I keep it clean so it looks almost as good as when I bought it in December 1999! I love Brahmin bags, wish they weren't so darned expensive.....DH would have a fit if I bought one now (bought mine before I met him). He just doesn't understand fashion.

Mostly now I use my Ribbon PC bag.

 

[imported_heat123]

$300 for a Coach and that's my limit! I'd love a Louis Vuitton but can't afford one of those! That was before PC though, now it's the tote bag from Supply order or a hand bag that has windows to put pics of the products in .

 

[KellyTheChef]

Even before PC purses came into my life (that's all I carry now...) $20 or $30 is about average for me. I just can't justify more. Even if I want a name brand bag, I would get last years design at TJmaxx or Value City or something like that... $50 would probably be my MAX...and then I would carry it for years! LOL

 

[chefkristin]

I change my purses all the time. If they are cute and cheap I buy them. I spent about $100 on a purse once that I designed myself from one of those parties. I never use it because its too small.

 

[reba515]

ooh bags and shoes are my biggest weakness!:love0010::love0010:
shoes I don't like to spend more than $35-40. but bags lets just say I usually need to save up! I will shop ebay for them too though, so my way of thinking is if i get a $300 bag for $150 I can buy another!!

oh the logic...

of course I had to have that cute ribbon tote too!!

 

[erinyourpclady]

I would seriously consider a $200 bag if I loved it!

I have gotten some great deals on Cole Haan shoes on ebay (brand new ones too, not used:yuck I've bought a few really cute purses too! I'm a bargain shopper and I love ebay!

 

[Teresa Lynn]

I love my Brighton, Coach and Dooney & Bourke's
Probably $275 was the most I've spent

 

[pamperedlinda]

I just bought a pair of Brighton sunglasses - love them!

I like Brighton, only thing is that I don't wear Silver so I feel like I clash with them since all of their stuff is accented with silver. Is that valid or should I just not worry about it?

 

[Carissidy]

I am not a purse person... I have 2 and the most I have spent $70 and I still love it! My favorite purse ever

 

[crystalscookingnow]

Wow, you ladies are generous with your purse money!!

Right now, I only have a ribbon tote, but it's not even the one from Merrill. I got it at a vendor show that I did for like $15. That's my speed.

 

[erinyourpclady]

My Coach bag I actually got from PC. It was a level one price choice a few years ago. DH got me the matching wallet for my B-day. I would love a new one but I don't like most of their designs lately.
As for the $...I buy my handbags on a military base where they are less expensive!! LOL!!

 

[Teresa Lynn]

Linda,
Definately let yourself go and don't worry about it.
I love their shoes and wear some of the jewelry but oooohh the purses love 'em
I have the red fabric one with hearts thta I only carry in Feb.

 

[imported_PChefPEI]

My limit is $20, but I have my PC purse that I won't be parting with anytime soon. Now, I need to get a bag with the clear pocket on the outside for a catalog, if I can track one down!!!

 

[michelled]

I am lucky one of my friends has LOTS of great purses and loves to buy them. When she has gone through her supply she has been nice enought to give me 3 coach purses and one liz clabourne. I have paid up to $60.00 for a purse but don't tell my husband.

I have to agree with the PC Purses...I love mine...and I have made some sales with people who I would have never met if I didn't have my PC Purse...Actually I think it is about time to order another one of them...

 

[Tara1021]

i am a purse snob. :blushing:I freely admit it. I have several Coach bags, but my pride and joy is my Louis Vuitton that I bought a couple of years ago.:love0010:

I buy the fake ones from the street "vendors" in New York City.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I am sorry I missed the chat today. Was anyone on? I know "leggy" was in the room and clicked out at the same time I clicked in.:cry:

I was on a group coaching call that went over a bit and then my mind wandered... By the time I realized it the time was 11:43.

 

[cmdtrgd]

Ugh! I take hubby to work and when he doesn't want to get up on time, my schedule is backed up!

 

[Mel5497]

no problem, we'll catch up next week. i was going to stay for the full hour, but DH came home a little early and we needed to get some things done. sorry i missed you two!
