I really really really don't like shopping.
Stores are cold.
It takes me so long, I'm so indecisive. I have to stand there and look at what I need and think about where else (within reason) I can get it, for how much, how long it will last, and when I'll need to get more.
On the rare occasion I do buy something ...well
I think have a bit of an aversion to spending money
...silly?
a little
but it comes in so handy when rent is due
and my credit score = fantastic
I can, and will, and do talk myself out of buying...just about anything

Sometimes I suck it up and go shopping, but if I can avoid it- I do.
Maybe it isn't an aversion to spending money. I am more than ready to pay for gas, or chip in for the kayak adventure, or buy paint...

going to a movie theater- rather do a movie night, but when I do go I LOVE it
restaurant? if I'm with people or need a serving of fish.
I'm not a fan of malls.
Thrift stores are much better.
When I get married- forget registering at BED, BATH & BEYOND-
I'll have a list of the stuff I need and people are welcome to get them at thrift stores because that is exactly what I'll do for anything I don't get.
Well, today I went to the farmer's market. I may like the farmer's market...just a little bit. I've never gone before. They had some WAY good deals! Like, bags of garlic for $1, 69cent potatoes, 79cent tomatoes, 99cent bell peppers.....do you know how much foodland charges for 2 bell peppers???? $6.32. I don't buy bell peppers.
remember those days when you went to the
99cent store and got 3 bell peppers for the amount you just spent on 1?
As a matter of fact, I do.
I'm not gonna say it's a fair trade-off
....perfect weather 24/7 for cheap food...
but it works.
After 20 min of inner debate, I did buy a Pineapple

envelope? yes. cheaper than a flat-rate box...and it fits my stuff better. WIN! |
No it's not silly! this is a great trait! i've been using cash to pay for things....it makes me more conscious.
