quotations about shopping
Buy buy says the sign in the shop window
Why why says the in junk in the yard

Black Friday: because only in America people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have.

I went shopping
With a list from A to Z
Everything I needed
For a happy family
Walked through the doors
Give the box boy a smile
Grabbed a silver buggy
And I boogied down the aisle

Shopping involves more than just economic considerations like the relationship between material quality and price. There are social, ethical, and political issues embedded in shopping decisions as well. Yet most of us do not give a lot of conscious thought to what can be called the politics of a product.

Truth: last week I online shopped too much. Then I ate 2 pounds of jelly beans to feel better about that. In fact, while I was trying to read soul-nourishing things all I could think about was shopping and jellybeans. Points to the monkey mind.

As I stare at it, I can feel little invisible strings, silently tugging me toward it. I have to touch it. I have to wear it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

When I shop, the world gets better, and the world is better, but then it's not, and I need to do it again.

Ethical shopping is hard. Production chains are so complicated that major companies often can't guarantee what conditions their products were made in, and even alternatives like the Salvation Army arent always ideal because of their anti-LGBTQ track records. That doesn't mean we should give up hope. A Nielsen report shows an increase in the number of people willing to pay more for products from companies they consider to be socially responsible, with a consumer trend report for 2017 published by NPD forecasting that, "given the highly charged political atmosphere [consumers will be] giving their business to brands and retailers that share their values and shunning those who do not." These are encouraging steps that show we want to do better, and with reports that brands are embracing transparency, it seems that retailers are starting to listen.

Online shopping: because it's frowned upon to be in a store with no bra, sweatpants and a glass of wine.

I hate to shop. I consider it one of life's necessary evils, like brussels sprouts and high-heeled shoes.

Buying something on sale is a special feeling. In fact, the less I pay for something, the more it's worth to me. I have a dress that I paid so little for that I am afraid to wear it. I could spill something on it and then how would I replace it for that amount of money?

I love shopping. There is a little bit of magic found in buying something new. It is instant gratification, a quick fix.

I'll take you shopping every day
Anything you want girl, it's okay
Girl I'll buy you things you've never dreamed of
As soon as I get paid

A bargain is something you can't use at a price you can't resist.

Well, nothing here is what it seems
I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams
It's so that you are always shopping
To steal away the cash you're dropping
Listen to me when I say
Your fantasies are built to fade

When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.
