My friends, especially Em would attest to the fact that I am a shopaholic. I love to shop. There was a point in my employed life that I think I was bordering into compulsive buying. At times, I would feel really restless when I go to the mall and not go home with a shopping bag(s) on my hand. It's like the bags, shoes, clothes or whatever is in the store is talking to me asking me to take them. I mean, I don't want to hurt their feelings so I take them home with me. But now that I've paid off my debt in my credit cards, I've learned my lesson. I am more of a smart shopper than a compulsive one. I (usually) buy things that I really need and not the things that I want. Like for example in shoes, I have 10 pairs of flipflops so I restrain myself from buying more of these instead I buy flats. You might be laughing because I still do a lot of shopping but look at it this way, I'm a smart buyer now. Who needs 11 pairs of flipflops when I can have other kinds of shoes?
Seriously though, I try to go shopping during sale periods and if I have discount coupons in my favorite stores. I don't just go and get the first thing that I like, instead I look for the best buy that I can find and then grab it and head to the check out counter. Actually, it's more of run to the check out counter so as not to see the other items. I'm only human and I can easily be tempted. But when I get home and open my shopping bag, I feel really happy and at ease when I know that I bought that item in a decent price.
