SHOPPING HABITS

Going shopping is an important part of our everyday lives and for many it is a daily routine. Some people shop for pleasure but some go shopping just to buy the necessary items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have free time from work. At this time the shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best items for the lowest price before the item runs out of stock.

Some people often go shopping but they don't buy anything. They just want to look at the displays in the shop windows. This helps them get an idea about prices and helps them plan what to buy. This kind of shopping is called window shopping. Some people spend a lot of time looking for bargains but some others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some people believe that if an item is more expensive its quality is better, but this is not always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really want rather than wait for it.

Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy someone for a special occasion. It's a good idea to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one can go shopping themselves.
