Your poem, "Shopping as Stress Reliever" tells us how Morhers love shopping to unwind alone. Maybe picking up some snacks to cheat a bit.
Fathers say they don't like shopping, but they love the electronic gadgets and talking to merchandisers buying things they don't really need.
A child may throw a tantrum, but once in the store his eyes light up with amazement.
You tell us when chilren say they want this and that you can always put it back on the shelf when they're not looking & they won't miss it when they get home.
(Lol! I'm not sure about that one)
Online shopping can be fun although it takes away the experience of meeting with others and getting those good deals.
You warn us to be careful when shopping so it doesn't become like gambling. Spending more than we have at the moment.
It's fine to pamper yourself once in awhile.
With Christmas time here, people are rushing to make purchases.
Maybe spending a bit more, but it will be okay fir we can reheat food in January.
Make a new years resolution to not do impulsive buying.
Shop for useful items that will last a long time.
And remember the pandemic isn't over, so wear your mask.
You've got alot covered in this one.
I'll post a link in the word prompt article.
I really enjoyed writing this one. It's so timely for the Christmas Sale and 12.12 Sale. I missed being a child going rounds to buy things I want without worrying too much the cost. But as I grow, we really shouldn't be buying things we wouldn't be able to consume anyway. Next thing you know the food has gone past the expiry date. I've learned a lot on this one. Thank you for sharing my article Brenda!

I had a crazy idea pop into my head and it made me a little curious about what all of us Hubbers have bought online in the past few months or so. I guess that I'm wanting to find what our community's buying habits are like and how much stuff we actually buy online. So, if you have bought something...
