Although I am loathe to admit it, I enjoy shopping immensely. I don't like ALL shopping, mind you. I think shopping for clothes sucks, I hate walking aimlessly around a mall, and I do not even enjoy visiting electronics retailers. (That's probably because there are far too many gadgets and toys I would like but have decided I cannot afford.)I do like grocery shopping though. There is something satisfying about the search for useful items. Spending money on groceries seems like a very reasonable expense. For you see, few items are as useful to me as food.
I am constantly amazed by the selection and quantity. I pick up one and wonder how that plum from Chile ended up in a Superstore in Coquitlam, BC. I like pushing around the oversized cart, helping to pick out far too many oversized items, destined for consumption by a slightly oversized gentleman. Me.
