Shopping.
It’s one of America’s favorite pastimes. Even when we’re in a recession, people still buy stuff – sometimes out of needing, sometimes out of wanting. Sometimes, if you’re a shopaholic, out of wanting and wanting and wanting. (I have to say that I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic with my husband and he kept looking at me, saying, “That is SO you.” I couldn’t believe it. “What?!” I said, “I don’t even have red hair!” But I digress.)

Infinitely fascinated by human behavior, I’m always curious about the various shopping habits of people. There are several kinds.
