I think I have a shopping problem...

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, so I absolutely love shopping, especially at the mall. So for all of last year, I decided to put the initials of whatever mall I went to on that day on the calendar. And yes, that included going to the mall for job interviews (I never did get the job though...). I went to a total of nine malls, many of them multiple times.

Anyone wanna take a guess of how many times I went to the mall total?

Nine different malls in one month. I'm gonna guess around 12 visits a month for a total of... 144 visits!

So final answer: 144 visits.

Regardless you have me beat. I think I went to a mall once last year, at most twice, and quite possibly not at all.

I think that I have the same problem. Since late September, I've been doing a lot of shopping, buying a lot of retro Mod clothing. I've spent $100 on Kinks music in one afternoon, two months ago, at the HMV Superstore on Robson Street in Vancouver, and $5 on wooden drumsticks. I also find that I'm spending money on restaurant food, as well. What's the use of looking my best, if I don't get out?

Nope, it is in the triple digits, but it's less than 144

I will also say that two of the malls I went to were from when I was on vacation in another state



Yep, I know how that feels, Cockney! I've blown almost my entire bank account on clothes and pageants! I actually won't eat at the malls if it's my money just to save it for shopping. Though if my mom's with me, I pig out! We started going to restaurants a lot more last year, too, but thank God that's not my money!

Okay, since apparently no one else wants to guess, here's the answer:



109 times!! !

That is not a shopping problem, just a money problem.

I am on ebay every day looking for antique motorcycle parts and old books. Lately I have been buying clothing, English riding gear.

I think it is our nature to want stuff.

I do think the exercise does you good, getting out of the house is good, and this is not the weather to go to the zoo.

Don't worry, I only spent money about half of those trips, and not really that much. I can be very frugal when I want to be

And lol, we went to the zoo last month! There was us and about ten other zoo guests and we spent most of the time in the indoor exhibits. It's not really fun walking around when it's in the 30's, you know? Oddly enough, the flamingos and lions were still out. I actually have a picture of the lions with snow on the ground. Talk about a weird mixture!

I spend my money on clothes, books, DVDs, games and toys.

I can blow a ton of money in one day, just give me a HMV and I'm there.

I can spend my entire paycheck in only one day, whether it's on the internet or in a story. There' s a certain satisfaction in clicking on your shopping car and checking out, and handing over you debit/credit card, swiping, signing, and walking out with whatever you bought. I'll buy cds, dvds, figurines, collectibles, and especially books. I'll even buy furniture if given the chance. Sometimes jewelry, but not often, and I don't like to waste my money on clothes.

lol No one will give me a credit card... or a job for that matter!
