Shopping is one of my favorite pastimes. Infact if I feel lonely or sad or bored, shopping is the best medicine to cheer me up. It's also an expensive medicine so I am learning to control my shopping mania. Walking into a store is a terrific feeling, especially if its a big supermarket with lots of items. Seeing several brands of yoghurt, bread, chips, biscuits and ofcourse cosmetics is so soothing to the soul.
I might have decided already on a brand but I still enjoy looking at everything on the shelves. When I go shopping I prefer no distractions, just me and the shopping cart. I try to visit every aisle even if there is nothing I need there. I like to slow down once in a while and look at something interesting, check out the price, see if its affordable otherwise just enjoy the moment and move on.
I do not like going shopping with men. Not only do they not know to enjoy the experience, they will also ruin it for us. I hate it when my husband tries to hurry me through shopping but since we don't have a car yet and I need the extra hands to carry the groceries, I don't show my disappointment. Sometime back, shopping was kind of an obsession with me but nowadays I control myself and really buy only those things that I really need. That kind of decision making is important otherwise shopping turns into hoarding.
The best people to shop with are friends who have a similar bandwidth as yours. I don't mind going alone to shop either. It's really fun!
