I was asked last night if I ever shopped like a real woman. I’m not quite sure how I should take that… Yes? At least I think so, from what I’ve studied about them. ;) Seriously, my shopping habits are more like a man. I have an easier time buying a $500 TV than a $50 pair of jeans. Big ticket items just seem like more value for the money, I suppose.
In the past, I would go to the superstore places and buy things I didn’t need, buying them only because I liked them. I never thought long term about them, much of the stuff ending up on eBay or in a thrift store. I also loved shopping in thrift stores, but I would buy things just because I liked it a little bit, but it was a great deal. Again, much of this went back to the thrift store. I would sometimes want to redo a room in the house, and I would go buy things for that room, usually making the Ross-Marshall’s-TJ Maxx-Tuesday Morning run.
This is the only explanation of how I accumulated so much stuff. In the future, I hope my shopping habits aren’t defined as “shopping like a woman” or “spending like a guy”, but as being a smart shopper. Maybe this will be the one time people can call me smart without following that word with a smaller 3 letter word. ;)
