i am definitely not a girl who loves her shopping. i don’t get relief, excessive joy, therapy or anything of the sort from it! i shop once in a while and a buy enormous amounts! shopping alone is my favourite way to do it because it is the fastest way to do it! no time wasted telling others how good they look in that pair of jeans…instead i can just go about my own business!
my 2 shopping mottos: “stick to what you know” and “you get what you pay for.” i shop at the same stores and get the same brands because time and time again i get these items home and i love them. why mess with a good thing? trying out new stores/brands takes more time and i like my shopping to be efficient! usually i don’t even have to try on what i buy because i know the brand so well. i am willing to pay more for the brands that i buy because i know their useful life to be far superior than their cheaper alternatives. this doesn’t mean i will just spend whatever on an article of clothing but if it something that i know i will love, i’d rather save up the money than buy a cheaper alternative.
in class today Tamar said that brands are a shopping shortcut. that statement couldn’t describe me more! i know the brands that i like and knowing these brands allows me to be in and out of the shopping mall in a jiffy with a bag full of goods that i love!
