Poll: How often do you BUY papercrafting supplies?

I plead the fifth. 🤐

Anyone else going to admit Weekly? Bueller??!

Seems like I manage to buy something scrapbook related every week even if it just something small like a box of tape or a new SVG to cut out on my Cricut. I have said on here that recently I took the front room as my scrapbook area and now that I moved all my stuff in there it really is an incentive to pump the brakes on buying because I don't have more room. This week I bought paper storage containers, so even when I try to stop I still am buying.

I'll show myself out...

I purchase weekly. The digital scrapbook stores that I buy from have weekly 50% off sales, and I pretty much always buy something from one store or another.

Too much. I try to buy just when I need something. But I already see making several purchases next month with an upcoming crafting road trip and CKC St. Louis. I already know I will buy new goodies - even though I don't need anything.

it varies really

online orders - a few times a year

HL - I'm there weekly but only buy if I need to replenish consumables (usually albums, adhesive or trimmer blades) or there's something on clearance I "need" - I'm pretty stocked up on albums due to recent clearance albums down to $4-5 each.

M's - I'm only there a couple of times a year and rarely spend more than $20 at a time.

J's - I don't remember the last time I bought scrappy stuff there - probably a year ago or so? It's been six months at least since I even stepped foot inside

TM is closing but I typically visited monthly ish but didn't buy much at time - $10-30/visit maybe

DH tends to keep an eye out for scrappy stuff when he goes to thrift stores and yard sales

I have too much stuff...I just picked up a Raskog knockoff in order to make more space on my desk...and there is NO more room for more storage in here so....putting the breaks back on ...

Forgetting about some digital purchases I make periodically, I voted quarterly. I buy WITL & DD, but beyond that I only go to my LSS a couple of times a year, usually because I need something specific...because I have so much in my stash!

This spring will be the exception as I'm working on displays and centerpieces for DS's graduation party...

I mostly shop my stash these days, so if you are referring to consumables such as papers and embellishments, only about once a year now, unless you count the 6 inch paper pad that comes in the occasional Queen & Co. release. I place an order with Queen & Co., or some other die company probably about once every two months on average. If I could buy the Q&Co. dies without the paper pad, I would. I don’t need anymore paper.

If dies and/or stamps are included, then probably every two months on average.

If you include cutting files, such as Silhouette, I have a subscription, so I pay by the month, but am downloading cutting files every week.

Every year I go to one of the conventions. I usually buy some titles from Paper Wizard, but that is only once per year for consumables.

So……because I’m not sure what your definition of supplies is, I’m not sure how to mark the poll.

I voted weekly, but that mainly is because of how I budget things out.

Now, I might only buy a digital file some weeks so what left over from my scrappy budget that week will go to a later week in the month.

I'd be right there with you.  Loved just taking weekly run to see if there was anything to work with my stash.  Now I head to my local scrapbook store maybe once a month.

I was actually about to buy a good haul online because I found every single patterned paper I'm after... only to get a "Shipping options are not available for this country or region" message. I'm in the US. The store is US-based.

Guess I'll call in the morning. Sigh.

I haven’t been scrapping much so I still have plenty of paper and embellishments. Now that I’m starting up again I’ll go through a good deal of my stash. I try to use the die’s and stamps I already have. It of course something will catch my eye. I’m a sucker for flowered and butterflies.

I definitely shop in spurts then stay frozen for long periods in between so I chose quarterly. I had a quick look at the last couple of years of orders on sb.com and my local online lss, and I can see I typically place two or three orders a year with them. I order from several different places around Black Friday, but still only consider that one shopping trip, as the orders are all placed on a single weekend.

Like Chinagirl828, I shop in spurts. Once I've bought something, I will often cave and shop a second (and third) source as well. It's like being on a diet - when you cheat, you REALLY let yourself cheat? So that's why it happens every 2-3 months.

In February, I made 3 purchases - Disney stuff from SB.com, sale stuff (50% off doodlebug petit print backgrounds, score!) from SSS, and some new 49th and market from my LSS. But I haven't purchased anything since, 7 weeks now.

I have 3 online sources, and 2 local stores, and I tend make 3-4 purchases from each every year.
I split it up between stores because I almost shop sales or use coupons, or take advantage of freebies. None of the sources have all the things I want, and some have good prices on a few things but awful prices on others.

But a new line that I *really* want will also push me to purchase ahead of sales.

I voted monthly but really I get a kit monthly.  Other than that I probably shop quarterly.
