Talk about consumerism, criticize consumerism, talk about niche and fandom specific consumerism, talk about consoom tendencies, collections, hoards and addiction. If you are a consoomer yourself, feel free to talk about it in this thread, same with people who are now reformed consoomers. And if you did get over it, tell us why or how it happened.

>>1812182I refuse to buy anything xmas related (seasonal decor, xmas themed sweaters etc) because to me the ultimate consoom is the things who can only wear and use like one month per year, so I'm enjoying more wintery general stuff.
Cinnamon and citrusy scents, wool coats and blankets, black tea and such. I got some new dresses and accessories for me on vinted and I also sold some of mine that I didn't like anymore, I'm mainly spending for my friends to get them tiny but nice gift they actually like. I like to spend a bit of my time doing some research and getting them a tiny but well-thought gift than a big-one-size-fit-all gifts only for my grandieur delusions.
One of my friends likes cats and precious stone, got her a little cat-shaped opal so she can put it on display and when the sun hits, it creates a nice light effect. Not picrel but really similar.
No. 1813331
>>1813246I only bought roasted apple scented candles, but that isn't necessarily Christmassy (it's more of a winter thing imo). But I also hate dusting off decorations so that's why I don't like having decoration around the house.

No. 1813859
>>1813450that's one of the many reasons I'm so angry at my family. They didn't keep a single thing from older generations. My grandparents had really nice Christmas decoration, it lasted them for over 30 years and my parents just destroyed it all and I was too young to get in the way. It was good quality, timeless and could have lasted another two generations. But old stuff is shit and everything has to be thrown away so you can buy new stuff, according to the boomer parts of my family.
If I would decorate for Christmas, I would go and find vintage things instead of all that cheap plastic shit you get today. It's not like your taste will change very much over the next years and so it would last forever. Personally, I would have one tree, outside, not dying after Christmas, and decorate it with some nice, timeless stuff and some not annoying lights.

Don't get mad anons, but maybe she should get into cooking/baking, just as a constructive hobby (guy can still do dinner though lol).

My friends are always buying aliexpress-tier clothes and stupid novelty items that they quickly lose interest in. It sucks because whenever I invite them to the movies or a cafe they tell me they cant afford it, but somehow they can afford buying shit they never use.

>>1814812>these drawers are such a display of having too much time on your hands and also mental illnessShe’s mentioned in a video that she’s a stay at home mom, so she does have a lot of free time. It seems like she’s bored, plus coping about her daughter’s condition, so she uses that energy on shopping. She needs to get some hobbies.
She doesn’t have an income, so I wonder where does she get the money to spend for these hauls? She sells on Poshmark, but it can’t be enough money for how quickly she buys things. She definitely spends her scrote’s money. Would tiktok pay enough for her? Spending mother-in-law’s social security? She likely has loans and debt as well.
>Who is the quarantined personI’m gonna assume it’s the moid’s mother. The shopaholic has mentioned that her baby daddy’s mother lives with them.
>>1814867This particular one sells on Poshmark. I think it’s somewhat easy for her to sell because she’s well-known in a way. However, I’ve seen other shopaholics and even normal people struggle to sell off their excess second-hand.

No. 1816102
Became a consoomer when I came into money after growing up poor and living in an abusive situation. I'll spare the details but my mother was working 2 full time jobs after my dad died and both her parents died (and left her with a ton of debt), and her useless boyfriend she got with years later abused me but she never knew because she was never around. We were like struggling to put food on the table, power regularly being shut off, bundling up with blankets for warmth in the winter kind of poor for a long time. Being in an abusive situation too means I still have some really fucked up views on love and being cared for, and you can guess what kind of men I've ended up with as a result.
Anyway, I developed a talent that I use to employ myself and I started doing really well for myself financially in the past few years. I was able to get myself and my mom in a much better situation, it started off with relatively normal stuff. I fixed up her house, I got her a better (but used) car, I got myself a house nearby (old fixer upper) and myself a mid level used car. I started getting her things she needed like new shoes, new clothes, new cookware. Then taking her on vacations, small at first like weekend trips to drivable places, then trips out of state, then cruises, trips out of the country, etc. My mom has had a very hard life her entire life and she's only been able to experience things and have nice stuff because of me, it made me so happy being able to take care of her and she's been nothing but grateful.
And being able to spend so freely on her led to me doing the same for pretty much anyone. As soon as I figured out I could just buy the affection I always wanted, I did. I shower everyone I care about with gifts constantly, at any opportunity I get. Holidays, birthdays, celebrating personal achievements. Things people don't need, things way more expensive than they're worth, and I have my moments of clarity where I know it makes me look like a superficial wealth flaunter (I truly don't make enough to afford this current lifestyle, I am not a millionaire or anything) but it makes people happy and be nice to me so I can't stop doing it.
Like one of my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's stocking stuffers this year was a pair of North Face gloves. I shouldn't even be buying gifts for him, much less stocking stuffers that expensive. The sister and her boyfriend's stockings alone this year cost me like $200, not including the main gift, and I'm embarrassed now by how much stuff I've bought. I know the gift exchange is going to be awkward because they usually set a very reasonable price limit that I've just ignored. I just wanted to make a good impression and I wanted them to like me, this type of thing is just my MO. I overspend and people either take advantage of me or it leaves a very bad impression on them, my house is cluttered with junk I don't need trying to impress other people I'm just embarrassing myself in front of. I probably need therapy

>>1815867This seems more like a way of coping with extreme loneliness or isolation than a shopping addiction. The sellers are bitchy, the fees are insane, you still have to spend time watching the stream to have a chance of finding the items you want so it's not like it really saves time. But there's a huge group shopping together and it feels like you're part of a team. I totally get the MLM comparison, it's a coping mechanism that pretends it's somehow more than that.

We already "own everything" we need and we both have our birthdays close to Christmas, so we mutually decided a birthday present is enough. Maybe you and your bf can come to a similar agreement next year? When I was with my ex I would spend a lot of effort on his Christmas present but he was kinda poor, so the present became more significant to me and I wanted to spoil him with something he needed/normally couldn't afford. Current bf is financially well off, so it feels pointless. We'd rather treat ourselves to a fancy date, like a high-end restaurant or spa or something.
I'm also low-key considering being a huge killjoy and stop buying Christmas presents in general. I love Christmas, but the presents are becoming a big headache to me. Everyone I know is an adult who can buy their own shit. I feel like December should be about appreciating each other, eating delicious food together, but instead I'm burnt out trying to find presents idek whether the receiver will appreciate.

>>1823878taking the money you'd use for gifts and putting it into savings for travel sounds like it would be way more fun anon. if you feel the need to give something on the actual day to make it special it could be something related to the trip, like if you need luggage or swim suits. even just baking their favorite cookie or dessert would be cute.

>>1826558On that logic, if the guy lived alone and was the only one giving himself income, would he not want to make himself his own lunches?
See I'm not opposed to cooking for the person you love, I think it's cute. But you also have to understand that men are 100 percent able to cook their own food, can make their own lunch, could do meal preps, and if they don't have the time, sometimes buying it at a convenience store would suffice. Women do it for themselves all the time. Men thrive on the unpaid house labor of women. I know it costs nothing to make a lunch for your husband and it's what society thinks "you should do" as a housewife. Do you really think they appreciate it that much though? I'm sure that guy just expects his daily chicken nuggets at this point, no questions asked. I don't think it's necessary, as in, I don't think a wife should feel obligated, breadwinner or not. But power to you and anyone else who wants to go through it, no judgement there.

>>1827299The ones I'm talking about only do it for the game collector badge, and they barely touch the games they buy (most of them are utter trash anyway, since they get most of them from off-site bundles). I guess it's a little better than normal consoomerism since it's not like there are real-world consequences, but it's still pretty stupid. Why waste money just to unlock a small jpeg when you could instead put them towards an actually good game?

>>1827095Imo hoarding physical game discs is way worse than buying a bunch of digital games, if we’re talking about taking up space and having unnecessary clutter. Buying tons of bundles could be financially irresponsible sure, but it’s not really “hoarding”. They stay in your Steam library and you can uninstall it from your PC at any time.

>>1827412>>1827474I might be the only one, but I enjoy physical copies way more. Sure, I don't have it for most of the games of the last 5 years, as you can't play them offline no matter what, so it wouldn't matter to own a physical copy. But if you have physical copies of music, books, tv shows or movies, you don't have to care about someone taking them offline or your internet not working. And if you have a list of what you own with the place you put it, you need like 5 minutes to find that stuff, just the way how they handle it in a library. I really like physical copies and I like limited editions with physical artbooks and stuff like that.

>>1812182Over the years I finally succesfully wishlist-pilled all of my friends, so we are all buying each other stuff we would already want and buy for ourselves, just trade it for that holiday cheer, lmao.
Got some of my gifts yesterday - layered skirt hangers, a cat scratching glove that unmatts fur (it sticks to the glove and you just wash it off, but I think I wanna try to collect the fur and felt smth maybe), a lavender plant growing kit and a tub of white acrylic primer (run out just before Christmas and my friend had a good discount at the store that offered decent price/size already)
Gifts for my family are mostly repurposed random shit I got through the year that is nice but I don't need and some chocolate (I am NOT close at ALL with my family and I got the set of a three same handcreams just in different "cute" designs, when I already have an unopened one of cream that actually works for me), but got my mother an ice skating show ticket. Mom got me booze with a nice glass (will use it for the NY party, so that's one less extra purchase)
Gifts for my other friends on NY are like. All from wishlists. Posters for a girl who recently had renovations finished, plates for a girl who loves cooking and wanted cute ones, books for a friend who works with disabled children, small barbells for a girl who wants to get back to excercizing, some makeup a friend wanted for a while. I added a couple personal things, like I always put in a candy cane (they're not a thing in my country mostly, but I think they're fun) and some chocolate/tea or random fun trinkets like stickers or badges I picked up through the year that made me think og my friends.
So I think I am doing okay.
Most of the gifts I'll receive on NY judging by my wishlist are like. Household items or organizational stuff or books I wanted for a while, so that's good.

I've noticed some of my older family members are so fascinated by Amazon and online shopping that they use it for everything now, and people who used to do small, thoughtful gifts now give a few cheap mass produced things from Amazon instead because "you'll never believe the DEAL I got on this!" or "I got an ad for this on Facebook and had to get it!"

Usually the things I ask as gifts is food I can't purchase where I live, like cornichons that are vinegary (only sweet and sour or just salty cornichons exist where I moved to). Otherwise the only thing my Mom tends to do is to offer to pay the bill of one purchase I do when I'm in my home country, like for books or for diy health products that I'm bringing back to my place.
My mom still might surprise with a small gift she brought from the African country she's on a work mission at, if anything, that's usually not something unreasonable when she brings back souvenis.
As for the rest of the family, my sisters specifically I don't spend time with em, so we don't give each other gifts, the rest of the family I'm estranged from due to many reasons that 1. make my wallet happier and fuller during the Christmas season 2. make my home less cluttered from gifts I would never use or want otherwise kek.

Manga consoomerism. I used to own manga when I was a kid, but I ended up selling them after a period of time because they took up too much space on my bookshelf. It really is overwhelming. Considering how a lot of these manga consoomers have a social media image to uphold, it all looks like a tiring contest of showing off as much manga and books to maintain engagement and get attention. Nobody seriously needs that much manga.
No. 1832114
>>1832072This always annoys me because
1. An overwhelming amount of manga is for YA/teenagers. I don’t care if someone replies I’m wrong but most stuff for older audiences (outside of porn and Berserk) isn’t really being translated. It’s understandable if someone bought a bunch of manga as a teen and held onto them, but this also leads into:
2. Manga used to be fairly cheap (especially pre-owned) and now consoomers and their social media parade have driven prices insanely high. It doesn’t even matter if the series are available digitally for cheap/free, influencers need to brag about how they spent $500 to unbox Nana or Red River. So you have a bunch of titles teens used to buy with their school lunch money being hoarded by adult collectors.
>>1832099I used to buy a lot of manga but it was because of the Borders bankruptcy/a relative owned a used book store and they’d sell tons of volumes for like $2. I accumulated a lot as a teen and eventually sold a lot of stuff after realizing not all of it was necessarily good or what I even liked. I just bought it because it was cheap. I don’t like that I still own a bunch of old manga and I can’t decide if I want to sell it because I’ll never have the money to be able to buy them again.

>>1833610Okay I'll say I'm guilty and I like to read and collect manga since I was in elementary school (and I resell the series that I don't like anymore constantly) but this makes me both happy and sad.
Happy because I can get new stuff for a few cents since these fomo zoomers are desperate to get their stuff sold, sad because this fucking phenomenon brought, at least in my country, a markup of over 30% in manga prices. In 2020, the paper industry in my country crashed and that meant that manga prices went up due to the excessive request, excessive requests made up by these zoomers who where buying and buying and buying meanwhile people like me and other readers got screwed bad with the increase of the prices. Our mangas went from 4.50€ to 5,90-7.50€ for these little shits. Now they don't buy manga anymore but people like me still do and have to pay the impulsive choices of these fuckers, because obviously, the prices aren't going down. I rarely buy new manga now, I always wait for them to hit the thrift/marketplace but god fucking dammit, couldn't they get into idk, makeup collections like 2010s beauty gurus…..

I just think if you are going to buy physical copies, you should read them online first and only buy them if they left that much of an impression on you. I say that, but i feel like most people just rush to buy whatever manga is hot in the moment instead of the ones they truly love.

I had a period of consuming useless plastic shit (figurines, stuffed animals) and other unnecessary things (decorative magnets, Japanese curtains, etc.) when I finally had my own job and my own money. I think part of it was making up for what I didn't ask for as a child (because it comes across as spoiled and ungrateful)…
Into my late 20s, I wound up having a few months where I had "fun money" and I would drop it on stupid shit - cat toys that my cat never played with, "street fashion" shirts that never fit me right, purchasing XBOX games at premium prices (over $70) … Then it shifted to more expensive groceries like kefir, dave's bread, amy's frozen dinners, amy's soups (fucking expensive).
Then, I shifted to saving up for more useful things, like a humidifier, or a fan that filters the air, or a rice cooker, or new windshield wipers for the car.
Now that I am firmly planted within the endless cycle of personal debt and obligation, the consuming has been reduced to drugs and bills. Sometimes, if I get a good paycheck, I'll spend it on more than just myself (like a dinner with friends).
Is the cure to consoomer culture a $500 car insurance payment? Or when you have to beg the landlord to wait to cash your check? I don't think so. I can already feel the consumption rising up inside me. I feel desperate for some kind of feeling besides the deep, unending chasm that roils inside my chest and threatens to swallow everything around me

>>1812182I don't want any materialistic gifts for Christmas or my birthday though I would rather spend time with my family and eat tasty food together instead. However, my older brother gave me a Nendoroid and a Pop Up Parade figure of a character/series that I have no interest in and my younger brother gave me fake vines and vintage botanical prints since he thinks my room lacks wall and plant decorations since I don't plan on further decorating or still figuring out what to decorate to make it look aesthetically pleasing and not cluttered. Sorry for sounding ungrateful but I really felt bad for them spending their money on things I didn't ask for which I could buy for myself since I can be sometimes picky and carefully spending what's worth. Now those gifts will most likely end up being stored away in my closet and selling them is out of the question since that would be pretty messed up. Not to metion, the house we live in is already cluttered with boxes and junk so buying materialistic gifts isn't neccessary for me. I'd rather have it spent on other things like repairing some electricity outlets in some parts of the house (including my room which I have to use annoying messy extension cords) and I'd super happy with that.

The reason Sanrio and other Japanese stuff is doing so well is because a lot of what I listed above is associated with older generations and newer forms of Western cute culture didn't get a chance to develop and build a fanbase before Japanese cute culture swooped in and stole away their potential customer base. Modern audiences don't want to consoom the same stuff their mothers did but newer Western equivalents don't really exist anymore.

I don't think anyone is a pedophile for liking a character that looks like an adult/grown up, age is pretty arbitrary in most cases. Take picrel for example, people who put lots of emphaisis on characters' age think that the left one makes you a pedophile but the one at the right is fine kek.

What adult women does she know who can slink away into a garage for several hours to work on a car? Or play on an expensive battlestation to play games with randos online uninterrupted for days on end? Fucking idiot.

Girls help.
I am mostly estranged from my family and they never knew anything about me, really. So every Christmas I get SOAPS. And it's fine. It's a thing I can use. But this year I got a whole box of christmass-shaped soaps, like realistic oranges that break into parts, shit with sprinkles that I am pretty sure are plastic, like realistic christmass candy stuff.
It was nice getting a couple bars of nice soaps before, because my older cousing used to buy a lot of nice artisan soaps on her endless travels to Europe. But this shit I got this year is basically unusable novelty shit. And it's a BOX of it. And it's not nice shit she got me before, like artisan with nice smells and herbs inside, this looks like something a child could make with their first soap kit and doesn't even smell nice.
What the fuck do I do with this extra soap? I know I am not using these ugly fiddly pieces that will become even uglier with use. My mother insists they are cute, but they are also entirely unusable.
Among the other funky gifts I got - we had a Secret Santa at my job and I got an ugliest thermos cup still in it's retail bag (ripped) with the receipt inside. I already have a perfectly working one and whoever gifted me this should have seen me use it AT WORK. I can't return it because the purchase was made with a card and like, here if you don't use the same card you paid with, the money won't go through. At least I have some ideas about where to repurpose/regift THAT. Holy fuck, it's not even portable, because it would leak everywhere immediately.

slightly OT but many years ago i bought a monster high doll on a whim because i found her cute. i later gave her to my cousin who played with her until she grew too old for dolls. i only found out a few years ago that the doll in question was apparently very rare and sought after by collectors kek.

There are some stores that might not but I’ve found most stores do if you have the receipt and item. I think they just send the item back as a loss so they technically don’t lose money.

>>1842317Of course it does. They wish to immerse themselves in a revised version of "girlhood". They think they are beyond salvageable physically or do not even realize they can actually improve their appearance, so they seek to have something that can be pretty im guessing. Rooms like that though, to me at least, are always owned by ugly people, teens, or people who do porn, so there really is no positive connotation. It's either a rich teenager in her consoomer phase or someone overcompensating very heavily for something else. I at least prefer it be a woman than someone using it as a creepy porn set.
Tangent, but rooms like that always reminded me of a reddit reply I read once by a guy who was an exterminator, the thread prompt was asking about the creepiest things they ever saw in someone else's home. This guy said it was two men living there, one elderly and one super fat and gross. The whole house was disgusting except for one super pristine room that was closed up, it was hot pink and only had pink teenage stuff lining the walls, everything down to the bedspread etc. He said it looked exactly like what he'd expect from a real little girl's room, but when he got close to a shelf next to a PC there were hundreds of gay porn dvds stacked.

I think she really despises him. She forces him on camera, knowing it makes him uncomfortable. She claims she “pays most of the bills”, but I’m pretty sure that she’s only keeping him around because he brings additional income to fuel her shopping habits.

Genuine question nonas, is buying a lot of second hand things considered consooming? Ever since I downloaded vinted and switched from depop, I spend literal days browsing clothing items and saved dozens of them. I couldn't believe it when I saw things like nike tracksuit bottoms for literally €4. I decided I wanted to get different coloured pairs to wear around the house, and then I moved onto hoodies and sweatshirts which are also in the €3-€5 range and saved different colours so I can mix and match them. If I ever need to de-clutter my wardrobe I'll donate them to charity (if they are stain-free and have no holes/undone stitching). I didn't think it was consoomeristic because it's all second hand and I'm actually wearing them but….I have a looming feeling of gluttony.

They bulk buy over a 100 albums per fan and then they throw those albums out on the streets because they only bought them so their fav kpop idols would have achievemnets for this xx number of albums sold.

Anime merch consoomers, have you noticed this style of weird mass printed plushie from China? The usual signs are:
>animal paws on feet and/or hands
>some kind of carebear like sign on the torso or hands
>same fluffy hair
>some have heart shaped nipples??
So the weird part is that I noticed facebook groups popping up and twitter users who claim these are their "customs" and selling them to other people. Asking in this thread because I noticed western consoomers buying them for their collections.

Nonas I’m late as heck to the Stanley cup discussion, but I genuinely think the fuscha one is really goofy and cute. I’m a mega tomboy who loves silly, hyper girly things like this once in a while. I’d even shell out $200 for one because tradies get wagies. The social implications of strutting around with one of these things now? My god, pass. I have a Stanley hard shell lunch box/cooler that’s pretty nice, but its nothing special.
All the Nonas who pointed out that modern “collections” like these cups or the Lululemon straps are pure consoom opened my eyes a lot. Coin collections and even stamps of the past really were cool and had some genuine rarity or soul! Anyway, you put into words something I didn’t like about modern collections, but couldn’t articulate so thank you.

For Nonas who thought the Stanley cup sling holders are cute (they are) I bought one of these bottle bags from Corkcicle that works really well. The one I got is kinda insulated and fits the big/older style SodaStream 1L bottles with some sauce to spare. Its got a pouch attached to the inside that’s big enough to hold a large wallet, keys, etc. It fits a bunch of different bottle types too so it’s less single-use than the slings posted earlier in the thread.
Anyway it’s been really useful and keeps uninsulated bottles cool even in 30C weather so I just wanted to share. Amazon or wherever definitely has cheaper knockoff versions available, but if you wait for sales then even the brand name ones aren’t any more expensive than any other crossbody bag
Hope that’s useful for someone out there! This type of bag was popular in the 80s-90s, so its cycled back in style. At least for a little bit
