Are we shopping addicts?

I love shopping because it's fun and it relaxes me. I like shopping only for myself and my sister. I usually shop in big shopping malls because there is a lot of smaller shops and big choice.
I go shopping for myself and my sister every month. I ususally buy a t-shirt, trousers, jeans and make up. I go shopping with my sister Tjaša because she helps me choose the right clothes. I often go window shopping, when I get bored. I spend my pocket money on sweets, presents for my friends and make up. I don't like online shopping because when you pay for something, you usually never get it, because they lie and take out money. I never read advertisment and watch TV commercials, because they're annoying.
All in all, I will always love shopping. My dreams are that I will some day go shopping to New York.

I don't like shopping because it's boring and I don't like spending money. I like shopping for computer games.
I usually go shopping in small shops because they are near my home. I go shopping three times a week. I and my family also shop on Sundays. I usually buy food. I go shopping with my parents. I like it because I don't have to pay. I never go window shopping. I don't spend my pocket money. I think that online shopping is not very safe because people can steal money from your bank account. I sometimes read advertisments but I don't watch TV commercials because sometimes I think that commercials are longer than the film I'm watching.
In conclusion, I think that shopping is just a waste of time.

I like shopping in general but only for myself. I like walking around the store and picking up things for myself when nobody bothers me.
I prefer shopping in small shops like boutiques and shops with old things. It's not crowdy and it's more like a hobby, not a work to do. Small shops are usually more expensive but just window shopping around the town is good, too. The most important reason why I like small shops is that they are not advertised. There aren't any commercials about their products. I hate commercials, there are too many of them and thy ruin everything. If all shops were like this I would go shopping more often, but now I usually buy things when I need something and boutiques are (as I said) expensive, so I try to avoid them. I usually go shopping at day time when shops are open, of course. I prefer buying things when I pass  the store on daily activities or in the town, and not to go somewhere just for shopping. That's why I usually go shopping alone so nobody bothers me. My parents just give me the money but only when they agree or things are necessary. That's why I don't want to receive my pocket money because, in fact, my parents pay for almost all my things. I usually buy things in the store and not online because I always want to see the product which I want to buy and make sure if the thing is really as I imagined. This is probably the most important reason to buy something; you have to like it and it has to look like you imagined.

I don't like shopping because it is boring and I think it is a waste of time and money. I get twenty euros a month from my parents and I have to spend them very carefully. I usually go shopping in big shopping malls once a week and I buy only the things I really need. Sometimes I stop in front of the shopping window to see what can I buy inside. I usually buy some nice clothes in men's wear that suit me. Sometimes TV commercials help me buy some things easily. I never buy online because I don't know if the new clothes suit me. I often go shopping by myself and sometimes with my sister in the shopping centre Supernova. I am very happy if I find some nice clothes and go home as soon as possible.

I like shopping because I like buying things and have them for myself. I like shopping for myself.
I usually go shopping to the small shops, but once a week I and my family go shopping to the big shops (supermarkets). We go shopping because we need food and other things. I go shopping twice a week. We never go shopping on Sundays because we usually go to other places (towns), only if we run out od food.
I usually buy some drinks or sweets. I go shopping by myself and I like it, because there's no one to say to me to stop buying sweets. I sometimes go window shopping. I don't get my pocket money, because I don't need it. I don't like online shopping because I don't trust it. I don't like watching TV commercials because they are long and boring.
All in all, I lke shopping for and by myself, but only once or twice a week.

I like shopping when I do it with my friends, and when I'm in a good mood, I like it with my mum, too. I usually go shopping with my mum, because my dad is not so patient. We actually go shopping just when we need something. When my mum goes shopping, she buys some food. When I go shopping I usually buy clothes. And when my dad goes shopping, it means that he will just look around and buy nothing. We all go shopping late at night, because there are not so many people in the shopping centre. I prefer small shops, but at the same time, it's practical to go shopping to shopping centres, because I can buy everything at the same place, so I'm not tired of walking to different stores. That's why I also like buying things on internet, but never clothes, because of the size - I just don't know which should I take... But anyway, I don't spend so much money, I'm saving it for the products which I want and are more expensive. I sometimes go window shopping, but the next day I usually go and buy the things I have seen in the shops. I see many commercials on TV, but when they play them, I always switch the programme. I think they're boring, but that's the way they make money. Good for them...The point is that I like shopping because I get some new things.
