Poll: How often do you PURCHASE papercrafting supplies?

None of the categories apply to me.
I am random and all over the place in regards to purchase frequency and habits.
There is no rhyme or reason to my purchasing frequency (or lack thereof).
I save Birthday and Christmas gift card and money, to use for my purchases. So I purchase when there is new product that I want.

If I buy, it's when new products come out and when there is free shipping deals.
My online shopping tends to be clustered closer together, several orders in one month-6 weeks, then nothing for 2,3,4 months.....until new product comes out.
I tend to do multiple orders at the same company(ACOT) in a month-ish.....because  of pre-orders and "have to buy it when I see it, or risk missing out". I have missed out before...when some items in my cart were "out of stock" because I wait too long to place my order. Sometimes product is restocked, sometimes it isn't.
I also edited and re-edit my online cart more than once...while the cart is "in the waiting phase" and before I click the "place order" button.
I can't always buy everything in my cart, because of budgetary constraints.
I often add items based on >> at first glance, impulse shopping, loved it at first...but on the 2nd or 3rd look it was more of a "like or no longer like or I have something very similar....so it gets delete from the cart.
I prioritize >> Love and have to have it, love, like it a lot, like.........then I edit my cart based on that.

If Michaels or Joann has a good coupon, then I might stop by and *try* to use it, although both companies rarely get anything new in the scrapbook section. 
Hobby Lobby, I only buy when the stickers and paper are on sale (which is usually every other week).

I wasn't sure how to vote either. I often get a gift card for Christmas and/or my birthday that I mainly use for restocks - albums, adhesive, cardstock - but also for clearance items and the occasional I need/want it. So I'm making small gift card purchases once or twice a month maybe but that might just be a pack of photo squares or foam dots.

Online orders - I probably place a small ish order at SG a couple of times a year, I'll pick up some things off my ACOT wish list if free shipping and my budget align, SB.com is rare.

DH will pick up scrapbook supplies when he sees them at a thrift store or yard sale - how much and how often varies by availability.

The only thing I bought over iNSD was a Gemini Mini (actually it arrived right before the weekend) from Amazon - I have a Gemini Jr but I figured the Mini would get me grabbing single dies more often especially during online crops - so far, that's working. I looked at ACOT and at SG and never hit buy. I have so much, it's hard to justify more tbh when my space is full even after a destash and even after making 600+ pages in 2023 and over 300 so far this year. Even as fast as I scrap, I'm not using much up except adhesive and occasionally a colour of cardstock (and white of course)

I was thinking once a month, but I go weekly to a second hand craft store and it is hit or miss, but it probably bumps my average up to twice a month.

Up until last year, I would purchase at least twice a week, every week!!
The Lilypad SOSN 50% off sale every Wednesday
The Digital Press Publisher's Picks 50% off sale every Tue>Thu
Various other sales at The Sweet Shoppe and Katie Pertiet.

When The Digital Press closed down last year, my purchases dropped off. And now I have bought pretty much everything I want at The Lilypad, so it's only if anything new takes my fancy.

I probably make about 4 purchases every month these days, which is more than what the poll offers as a choice.

If I am subbing, then monthly. If not a subscription,all over the place. A sale, a new release, 'feeling sorry' retail therapy.

I went with twice a month, but it varies for me, too.

I buy monthly, I have a Hip Kit subscription. But, I also average a quarterly buy as well, if you count special purchases like December Daily, travel lines and new releases.

I chose semi-annually for physical product....I still haven't purchased any physical product this year, but did get some digital stuff. I usually wait and shop at the Expo in August, then whatever I don't find there, I will usually do an order for Black Friday to get the things I saw during the year if they are still in stock and available.

I find making wishlists and waiting works for me because a lot of times when it comes down to buying I don't really need it or I've found a stash replacement!

Like many have said, the frequency of purchases varies. And the $$ involved. I just cancelled my Spellbinders' kits, and that was the only given.

Probably more like 3 times a month. I always buy on the 1st (Not Just For Boys kits) and then I usually have an order from ACOT, and an occasional order from Peachy Cheap, Temu, Scrap Your Trip, Scrapbook.com, etc. I definitely buy twice a month.

I chose every other month but at times it might be a couple of purchases in a month and other times I might go several months, I think.

I decided to look up my scrapbook dot com account and see if I was being honest with myself… It went Jan, Feb, May, July, Aug, Oct for the past couple of years, but then I noticed an entire year from one May to another without a purchase 2022-23!! I guess I was using up things I had bought.

I think I tend to buy for specific card drive projects. I do buy a few things here and there from a couple of other companies but probably not more than twice a year each, and I probably buy cardstock from Joann on a similar schedule.

Monthly for me since I belong to Elle's Studio kit club. Some months I only get the kit, others I'll add on a thing or two. If there's a really good sale I may buy something but in general it's only once a month.
