How much have you spent on ...

I've picked an option but having been through the whole purchase, purge, rinse, repeat cycle many times over the last 20+ years I have no idea whether it is correct or not.

What I do know is that there must be some folks who have got some absolute bargins from charity shops with purged items!

-A.

More than I want to admit.  I really have no idea, but over the years, thousands, without a doubt.

I started this journey in December and spent at least $300 in the first 3 weeks.  I stopped for a couple of months (although I didn't purge based on advice from my sisters here), thinking I could do that, but Tara came back out stronger than ever.  I'm getting close to the $1000 mark now.

Leggings and skirts are #1 in clothes. Breast forms, breast plate, shapewear are the highest dollar items I've bought.  I've become infatuated by wigs and ponytail extensions lately  🙂

I've also saved a TON of money by being a good shopper.  Thrift/Charity stores have a LOT of great stuff and several items I've bought have still had the tags on them and have never been worn.  Kohls clearance items are also a favorite.

I love, Love, LOVE to shop!  Makeup is my next project to spend money on and I've had my eye on some nice makeup mirrors  🙂

*kisses* tara 🙂

Wendy...

This is fun...it really made me laugh.

It's like asking...how much food have you ever eaten in your life?? or how many times have you ever breathed out??......

I couldn't even begin to guess...but it's definitely the higher end on your poll....

I like to think the money I spend is not so much on grace...but on supporting the community....the cash I spend on Amazon alone ensures dozens of their workers are kept in steady employment....I don't really want the clothes, shoes makeup,coats  etc....but I have mouths to feed!!!!!

7 wigs so that’s $500, bras, panties, silicone and hips $400, dresses $300 (many were Wish, goodwill or free), shoes 10 pair $400 (Torrid is great), 20 skirts $200 (Goodwill), and I’ll stop there.

Sorry, I didn't vote. Interesting topic! I have no idea. Clothes, jewelry, perfume, makeup, books, ...

So much over the years. Hate to think about the items that I purged. Wish I had most of them back.

If growing my hair out works, I won't have to buy anymore wigs.

OMG Wendy i do not even want to think about it never mind adding it up. I went on a spending spree while on a business trip in Europe it lasted week it had to be over $1,200 only to leave it behind because my wife was picking me at the airport when arrived back home. When my wife found my clothes one of the many question she asked was Where did you get your sense of style and taste in women's clothing? It was so different than hers. At the time i loved designer clothes they were so feminine and fashionable but very expensive. She did keep a few pieces for her self  after finding them. I never asked for them back i was just happy to still be married. That's whole other story. Thanks for the memories

Not a big spender on items for Kelli or her drab other. he owns nothing but jeans, boots, and button up shirts bought at Goodwill or yard sales. She is a savvy shopper on e Bay or poshmark.most expensive purchase was probably a slightly used Noriko wig, but it's been relegated to backup duty, as I much prefer my dark blonde one.

Over 1000 this week...but Haley is going to knock them dead baby!

Scarlett. You are so correct. I don't know how the merchants would have ever survived the pandemic if it wasn't for Michelle's expenses and spending habits. Those checks I received  hardly covered her expenses. I still had to eat. Come to think of it. They didn't cover her expense.

What an interesting topic...

I am a frugal shopper and have never bought clothing for full price nor even brand new for years. In NZ we have a wonderful trading site called TradeMe (like e-bay but way better) where I have bought a bunch of stuff. Instead of purging clothing I don’t use or like anymore, I resell so I can buy more! Brilliant!
The more profit the better the fabric. Shoes are in the same category as I’m a size 12 but I can still find nice shoes if I have the patience.
The silicone I buy from China through AliExpress because the shipping is often free and the product is not too bad... certainly not in the Amoulux range but viable. Same with the wigs, though most of them are really pretty poor quality.
My wife is able to procure all of our cosmetics at wholesale price so we can afford the good stuff!
As for the future... who knows?

Poor Polly Pauper 😢😭

I've spent over $,500 just since the first of the year. Shopping is an endless but necessary chore.

Oh my, I’ve often thought about how much I’ve spent on pantyhose alone. Plus everything else. I’d be up in the thousands for sure.  

This was a difficult one to answer; not only because of the fluctuating exchange rate, but also because it's been such a long time since I started and I thought I'd best try and give an answer in inflation adjusted terms.  My answer ($4,000, roughly £3,00o or about 3,400 Euros [sorry - can't make my laptop put in a Euro sign] will therefore probably be the very least it should be - and probably should be budged up at least one category...  It's interesting to consider this matter; it brings it home to me how much I've spent... until I then realise that what with crossdressing, I've probably not bought as much in the way of boy clothes over the same time, hence the "seasonally adjusted" answer is probably not that far from zero.

Makes me think though......  Hugs & kisses:  Inga.
