How do you feel about shopping?

A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket.
The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.
"They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans," he replies.
"Put them back, we can't afford them," demands the wife.
A few minutes later, the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
"What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.
"It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.
Her husband retorts : "So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price."
 

I'm a long-time catalog shopper, so I took the Internet like a duck to water :D. I used to enjoy shopping when I was younger but that was decades ago.

Now it's "in and out ASAP". I shop with a list and if a store doesn't have precisely what we want, I hit Amazon as soon as I turn on my PC.

The supermarkets still have supply chain issues, so Amazon has been a lifesaver for me to find certain products which I haven't seen show up reliably for the last 12 months. I mean, Crisco cooking spray? Espresso powder? Jeez, a couple of times I even had to order paper towels (so now I'm stuck with enough for at least another 9 months, LOL).

One thing about the lockdown, it has made us search out new food products. We have found some pricey but really good new items to add a little variety to the dining table. We really miss not being able to go to restaurants; things are just starting to open up partially here.

Just received our 2nd vaccination shots so at least we'll feel a little safer going out (masked and distanced still, though! - just in case).

I dislike shopping...I have friends in Australia who take shopping holidays to places like Singapore and Hong Kong (or used to before covid)...sometimes I have accompanied them,not to shop but to eat the lovely food in those countries :)
 

I love combining shopping and browsing but that's been put on hold during covid. We both need new spring wardrobes but shopping online isn't half as much fun as taking a rackful of clothes into the fitting room.

Right now I'm shopping for new electric wheelchairs to replace my manual.
