Shopping is often perceived as a mundane activity, a necessary chore, or simply a means to acquire goods. However, for many, it transcends the boundaries of necessity and becomes a delightful, almost therapeutic experience. One of the primary reasons people enjoy shopping is its stress-relieving quality. In a fast-paced world, filled with daily challenges and pressures, shopping offers a temporary escape. The act of browsing through stores, touching fabrics, and exploring new products can be immensely relaxing. It allows individuals to take a break from their worries, focusing on the present moment, and creating a sense of inner calm. Shopping is not just about buying; it's also about exploring new trends and styles. Fashion enthusiasts, for instance, find immense pleasure in keeping up with the latest designs and experimenting with their personal style. Discovering unique clothing pieces or accessories that resonate with one's personality can be a deeply rewarding experience. There's an undeniable thrill in finding great bargains or deals while shopping. Scouring for discounts, using coupons, and hunting for clearance items can be an exhilarating treasure hunt. The sense of accomplishment when you find a valuable item at a fraction of its original price can be genuinely satisfying. Do you love shopping? What kind of satisfaction does it offer you?

i´m at a moment of my life where I´m giving away instead of buying more things. That pleasure you tell about is something I feel when I finally give away something to a person that will like it.

Of course, the act of giving is a pleasant feeling. When we travel we shop for souvenir items which we will give to our families and friends back home.

@florelway I am now giving away what I have. It has nothing to do with shopping.

I love shopping, especially if someone else is paying. My shopping mostly circles around basic necessities like groceries or clothing. But when I want to reward myself for a job well done, I window shop and once I have enough funds, I will take the plunge and buy the item.

Shopping does not always result to buying but it's a very pleasant feeling to just go around whiling time, away from stress.

Myself finds it very therapeutic. I am glad that big malls are now located all over the country unlike before that they can only be found in Manila, abd Cebu. What shopping malls are there in your area?.

@Nakitakona I figure you're situated in a highly urbanized area like Metro Manila. We have SM here, Robinsons, Puregold but no Landers, and first time to hear of Lopues.

That's a very good cause. Do you shop for toys and other goodies?. Before the pandemic I always give a Christmas party for kids in the neighborhood, we had games, foods, singing and dancing. When the pandemic is over the kids have grown lol and they no longer enjoy the party.

I love shopping when I have the money to buy what I need to buy. I love to look around the store and decide what I want the most.

Grocery shopping is more of a chore. What I like to do is shop at thrift stores.

I like browsing and discovering new items that are out. But shopping for things I need, I try to buy in one trip.

I love online shopping. I don't buy anything we don't need these days as we're trying to downsize; but for the everyday items that we need, I prefer to shop online. Enjoy your day.
