I just calculated it and I found out that I spent a total of $1058 on [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) since I’ve started in Dec 2009! Howmuch do you spend on it? I need to stop. This is one expensive hobby ---

> [@MVKBUGATTI](#): > > Sugabee, > > I am sorry do you mean like one thousand and fifty eight dollars? Yeah I do mean one thousand and fifty eight dollars. I think I bought every major [pheromone](https://a314.com/) on 3-4 different websites. I just have nothing to do cuz I stay up really late (I have a weird schedule) and read these forums. I don’t even think I have time to use all of them! There are a few that are my favorites though. ---

WOW! $1058. And you haven’t been here that long. I haven’t spent that much, but I can see how that could happen. I’ve decided to finish testing every single spray I have before I impulsively order anything else from anywhere! So, that will take me a while. 🆒 ---

Yeah I have a bunch of things I haven’t really tested yet… :o Sugabee, I hope you’re not buying that junk they advertise on late night TV as well! 😃 It’s not as if you need six second abs anyway… 😉 ---

I’ve spent about $250 since Dec 2009. I didn’t buy anything from this site but I’m looking forward to trying out a few next month. ---

I’m at a whopping > [@](#): > > Totally paid: $3,373.55 😮 That’s like the amount for a not too shabby used car… 😮 And the craziest thing about this is: I’ve become a sceptic again! 😃 I’ll stop buying anything new for a looong time (except for maybe a bottle MX353 and PP, if it ever sees the light of day again) and try to finally get something going with all that stuff I’ve got lying around. I haven’t had any real ‘WOW this stuff works’ experience for quite a while now… ---

Yikes! Sounds like a pattern of impulse and addiction behavior. \<\<\\>\> I can understand how easy it can be to become excitable about this forum as a social world and these products in particular. I also stay up late. I have to keep myself in check too. It may help to have a calendar and write down when and where you can test the bottles that you already have, and do this each week. Mark the calendar each day you stick to your plan without buying anything new & reward yourself with something reasonable at the end of each week. Oo and: Report your findings in a journal here! I think that would give you the social aspect that you’re looking for. This could curb the time and money you put into the late night spending sprees. You might even consider making a habit of watching tv online, whenever you need to prevent yourself from shopping! (As a sort of therapeutic start) Do you make enough to spend that much within a month without it causing strain or debt? It sounds like you don’t need all this stuff, but that you’re wrapped up in addiction via shopping. I feel worried for you. Break yourself free of this, pretty bird. Best to you. xx ---

Best to you. xx I have not bought any pheros since the last time I posted this although I’m itching to buy something from lovescent cuz they sent me a 20% coupon. Luckily I’m not in debt or anything. (I have stopped buying clothing and shoes for the past two months and it’s been a good year for me money wise) I do watch tv late at night but the tv is right next to the computer and both of them are on. Haha. I am only using MX135 on Saturday nights now, so that I can avoid the OD issue and also not use it all, that stuff is always out of stock! ---

I know how tempting it can be to keep a massive arsenal. My tip is to make a point of testing what you have before you make another order. Or you can sell/swap things that don’t do it for you. I do make sure I always have some socials and IS/B or some other sexy potion. This actually helps prevent impulsive buying because you don’t suddenly have a job interview or a scorching hot date and nothing to wear. That applies to clothing too; if you have a nice suit for professional stuff, a sexy red dress, an LBD and a girly dress in your best colour, you always have something to wear. ETA: That said, if I would make a list of money I have saved/free stuff I got because of pheros and great social skills, it would sum up to a used car. Though not everything was for myself, I am also the negotiator when I volunteer. ---

I’ve been spending so much money for the past few months I haven’t dared to make any purchases in a while. Not to mention I still have yet to test the experimental test mixes. ☹ Haven’t even had the energy to spend. LOL. My bill probably came up to around $800. Going to have to splurge on some A314, I/Openness and Come talk to me as I’m running out really soon. ---

All pheros combined I have spent a little over 900 since May '08 when I first discovered mones. I am ready to make another order, but what I would like to purchase is Out of stock. I keep checking everyday. Hopefully soon 🙂 My first Experience with a [pheromone product](https://a314.com/shop/) was something called Pure Instinct. It was an oil and I’m not sure how well it worked, but I LOVE the smell of it! ---

Going a little bit off topic here, but Pure instinct worked really well for me w/ my bf, and the more expensive stuff didn’t do a thing for him.
