    I'm starting to think I have a shopping addiction. I order too much shit off Amazon. Mainly clothes.:MARIS61:

    I've read studies that say shopping is something that makes people feel good, so just the act of shopping is addictive. Sometimes I just like to go into a store and walk around and look at stuff. I think it's relaxing. I really miss video stores because I used to go into Blockbuster and really look around before deciding what I was in the mood to watch. Damn Netflix and Redbox.... :sigh:

    was in that boat, then my tiny studio apartment filled up.

    ever since Amazon started charging sales tax, I dropped my shopping on there almost 70%. I haven't really spent it locally either, I just stopped buying shit.

    I hate accumulating just "stuff". It just turns into clutter and is a waste of money. I typically buy when I need something, but rarely buy just because I want something.

    I have the same cloths I've had two years ago. But I buy excessive when I get into something new, like guns or music equipment.

    When shopping online or in person, I tend to grab a bunch more than I need, then right before checkout I come to my senses and put back everything I don't actually need. I like shopping, but don't like having so much useless shit, especially when useless shit costs money. F that playa

    I always get new clothes. I like feeling and looking fly.

    I have a huge shoe collection and quite frequently get compliments on my taste.
