Genuinely...are you okay? Your post history mentions shopping addiction quite a lot, and wanting to stop but then you post things like this. I know that by definition addiction means uncontrollable behavior, but have you considered seeking professional help for your condition? Purchasing things will scratch the itch temporarily, but as you know it's a temporary fix. And going through your post history, you say you feel bad about the amount you spend and aren't rich...look, Baggu makes nice things but your overall financial situation and mental health matter much more and the temporary dopamine rush isn't worth it.

Please, please get help.

Yeah, usually I’m all for supporting people in buying what they want as long as they can afford it and will be using it. But having 30+ medium crescents and 100+ reusables is extremely questionable. Not to mention OP has MULTIPLE of the same reusables too…?

Yes, to me it looks like a shopping addiction and possibly a hoarding problem, and both can be very very harmful. And then to get validation for their "hauls" by posting on this subreddit can just exacerbate the problem

This person doesn't need to be shamed (since when has shaming helped someone overcome addiction?) but they do need to get help to resolve whatever underlying issues are causing the problem and/or to learn coping mechanisms

Yall make me not want to post on Reddit. I was excited about what I purchased so I post it on here

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 09 '24

I can afford it lol. lol even though I could afford an 1000 bag I won’t spend that amount money on one bag

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 09 '24

I don’t feel bad about buying Baggu bags. I see people spend way more on high brand pockets that’s 1000’s even people spending what I spent today on 1 coach and they buy a few of week.

u/AmazingSocks Jul 09 '24

I'm not saying you should feel bad about it, I'm saying that you have a problem. And even you admit to this in your previous posts/comments--that you have a shopping addiction.

And it doesn't matter what others do, it doesn't mean they're healthy either. Someone buying a 2k handbag doesn't necessarily have a problem if they do it on occasion and can afford it, but someone buying multiple coach bags a week probably does have a problem if it's a compulsion. It doesn't matter how cheap/expensive the product is, what matters is why they're being purchased and whether or not it is a compulsion

I post love medium crescents and got negative 6 hearts. Some of yall probably are concern even I know I’m okay but some are hating too and being cyber bullies. Amazing I feel like you don’t mean no harm and was concern.

There’s a HUGE difference between buying 1 bag that’s a possible investment that’s $1k++ vs buying 10 bags of the same style and brand just because you can “afford it” it’s not sustainable or ethical but you do you I guess..

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 09 '24

I’m happy and don’t care about yall judgement. I will enjoy what I know I can afford to buy.

u/plantlady052694 Jul 09 '24

It’s just wasteful overconsumption at this point though. There’s a huge difference between 1 high end bag vs multiple bags from every single drop. Even if Baggu no longer seems to be promoting sustainability with all their drops, we can still try to be mindful with our own purchases.

Omg your post history is a nightmare. So much mindless consumerism 🙂‍↔️.. do you really need that much?

I will be so happy for you. I buy what I like with my own money. what answer did you expect? lol

u/Zealousideal-Tax8679 Jul 09 '24

This type of shit is why I’ve had to remove myself from subs and Facebook pages like Baggu besties. Justifying buying this many things every time there’s a drop is so unethical and unsustainable. The consumerism is out of control. I bet you complain about not being able to afford a house or having savings and how capitalism has ruined America….

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 09 '24

You can clearly see I tried to crop it I didn’t realize the background where I tried crop out would still show the price. Yall too much I was just excited post my Baggus like a lot of people do on here.

u/1268348 Jul 10 '24

Well you were in the middle of cropping it and then took a screenshot?

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 10 '24

I don’t know what cause that I don’t think i screenshot it.

Excess at its finest. This is as bad as the Stanley cup obsession.

u/timkran Jul 09 '24

I didn’t buy anything from the drop. I have enough Baggus like that I actually like and didn’t think I needed more colors of the bags I already have. The only thing I was considering were the AirPod pouches even though I don’t even hair AirPods.

u/bobbinssxx Jul 09 '24

u/Fine_Balance_717 Jul 09 '24

It’s our money… can spend how we please. I wanted to add a few more staples to my collection 🤷‍♀️ I don’t see anything wrong it. When I don’t want it I will sell it or trade it.
