Zen Shopping

I like to shop. It’s a curse.

But, when you don’t have money to buy said things, or you know you shouldn’t be spending money on superfluous objects, what do you do?

I’ve come up with a solution to my shopping dilemma that I like to call “Zen Shopping”. I pick out what I want - anything at all. Season 5 of the Soprano’s, Simpson’s season 8, South Park season 8, some nice pens, file folders, CD-Rs. Whatever I want. Then when I’m done shopping, I walk around the store for 15 more minutes. In these 15 minutes I decide that what I was going to splurge on, isn’t worth buying at all.

I put everything back.I save myself from myself. It’s what I like to call Zen Shopping or Pseudo-shopping.

    heh, I do that too, but instead of putting it all back, I just leave the cart where I am, hoping they’ll remember it was me that did that the next time I visit, and they kick me out before I get through the door. lol ;)

    Sadly, you had me up until the ‘isn’t worth buying at all’. In that last 15 minutes I would have found a cart, bought a laptop and a printer… Visa Loves me…
