Shopaholic..

I think i also have the same nature as you. I also don't waste money for shopping. Two weeks back, i have found a great shopping deal where you will get the products for free. Instead of paying by currency you have to pay the shop with your opinions about the product. You can find more details in my blog which is updated in my profile. Happy Shopping.

As long as you buy what you need at reasonable prizes and spend only what you or your family's budget allow. I did spend too much once and when payday came, I had to pay the balance incurred. Oh my.

I tend to go shopping as a stress reliever, usually later at night when most people are asleep. This is when no one is standing in my way and no one is hurrying to get through, no kids yelling or crying. Yep, I love the stores that are open all night. I can spend a lot of time there, I put things in the buggy that I like or want and after a while of walking around and thinking, I go and put most everything back after weighing whether it is worth the money or not, whether I really want or need something. In the end, I go from a very full or half full buggy to one or two things by the time I'm ready to leave. I don't go to grocery stores, I like the department stores where I don't have to worry whether or not ice cream is going to melt or something along those lines.

Since you spend your money wisely, I don't think that's being a shopaholic. I think shopaholics are compulsive buyers who purchase things even if they don't need it. They can't resist buying something that catches their fancy even if they already have a similar item bought before. I myself like to shop especially clothing and gadgetry. It makes me feel good for some reason.

hi, You spend wisely .That's really good. Because some really don't notice how much they spend when they go shopping.But they feel sad afterwards for being so impulsive. I am learning how to spend wisely .

I don't really shop all the time. When there is a need that arises I shop. Of course, one must have money to shop. I also shop online when I cannot shop at mall since I have with me a three year old son. It is more convenient for me. Anyway, I just finish my christmas shopping and I do it online. :-) Have a blessed Christnas to come!

i have learned that i shouldn't use shopping to make myself feel better because i have credit card debt and after shedding the credit card and living on cash and staying out of stores unless absolutely necessary plus finding new hobbies, i feel much better.

That's interesting! If that makes you feel better to get relieved from stress and depression, why not. But hopefully you don't end up buying things you really don't need. From your statement, you said that you make sure that you spend every penny wisely. I am more to online shopping though. Sometimes when I see a lot of items on sale with a huge discount, I have adrenaline rush and ends up buying a lot of things. Then I realize, I don't really need them. Online shopping are sometimes addicting.

I am not a shopaholic but I do love shopping. The one thing I am concerned about is that probably it would lead you to a certain frenzy of addiction. Since you feel a satisfaction while going shopping, it would somehow take negative effect with regards to what you are doing. Let’s just say that too much of something is bad and that probably you’ll end up buying things that is not really useful or important in your day to day life. I suggest you choose things that are in your needs and not for the sake of buying or satisfying your shopping urges.

Good for you co's I assume you have loads of cash to spend. I'm not a shopaholic co's I have only few bucks to spend fort such. I am actually hoping that I can do that soon. I can't wait for hubby to come home so that I can asked money for shopping, I need to asked him for money co's mine is still on the sites where I earn, they haven't paid me yet. I hope hubby is good mood when he comes home so that he'll give me money. You have a very expensive treatment with your depression, I say expensive co's your credit bills when it comes at the end of the month is way big after curing your stress. hahaha. I hope you have a good job that pays good amount too to keep your shopping going. God bless my friend.

shopping too is my way to relax myself and to unwind since i`m a full time mom so i`m always with my child so whenever i have a chance to go shopping i will.. i usually shop for our home needs and of course clothes for my self and family.. but i don`t do it often because i see too it that i will not spent so much because every coin now is valuable..

If ever I get to shop it would be basically for clothes. I love shopping for clothes and all accessories that go with it. I just love clothes and all matching accessories that could accompany the clothes.

I like window shopping to refresh my mind. It's good that you spend your money wisely. That way you won't end up stuffing your house with things you don't really need :)
