I hate shopping. On occasion, though, I have a look in B&M and get a load of--stuff we don't need--bargains

I'm afraid we wouldn't be good shopping companions as I loathe shopping! I go for specific items only. The only shops where I could browse would be bookshops.

Ha, ha. I used to meet a friend for coffee and shopping and somehow after an hour or so we found ourselves in the bookshops ?

Especially the ones that did coffee and books.?

I’m not really a shopper. I walk to the Trafford Centre with a small list. Make my purchases and leave. I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than mooch about. Unless of course something just catches my eye as I’m passing ...
I’m an impulse buyer when (very occasionally) something just jumps out at me.

Today i decided to go to a quaint market town near me. I love the ambiance of this market town, the people are so friendly, love it.

I trail from charity shop to charity shop then open the door to a welcoming, warm cafe, sit near window so can people watch while a contented, happy feeling sits within me that i have bargains in my bags that sit at my feet.

Then after sipping my coffee, i scoop up my bargains and head away from the welcoming cafe, to MORE charity shops.
