The last time you shopped...
Saturday I went shopping, intending to buy something for myself because I was feeling needy and unloved (boohoohoo, lol) , but ended up at Hobby Lobby where I bought $18 worth of fab (@30% off!) to make happy mats (aka “mug rugs” but don’t like that name) for my kids and gs for Valentine’s Day (I better get sewing!). So I started thinking of that- how often I go out for something for me but end up with something for someone else- and realized that’s usually how it goes. I also realized when I do buy something for myself, unless it’s necessary, it’s to make me smile – a funny magnet ($3), a pasta valance for my kitchen (@WM, BH&G $10 and ready to hang!) the 3" plastic smiley face flower that waves its leaves when the light hits it ($4.99).
So I’m wondering...when you go shopping to feed some emotion, do you buy for yourself, your home, or someone else? Also, what is the typical price range you will pay for you, compared to your home or someone else? And lastly, do your spirits pick up when you buy for yourself, your home, or someone else?
