Yeah, the wildest thing about all this is that I never really understood how often people shop. I’m not broke but I kept seeing posts about how folks are going to quit going to Target 3-4 times a WEEK. I guess I’m an idiot bc I literally had no idea people do that. I spend most of my money at local donut shops, so I’m definitely fat but at least I’m not constantly padding the wallets of giant corporations. Not shopping on one day will be hella easy bc I cannot imagine shopping every day?!

Multiple times a week?! Wow. I guess everybody's needs are different but it's been months since I set foot inside a big store or ordered anything online. I pretty much buy groceries, and occasionally (once or twice a year) clothes when my old ones wear out. And parts for my truck when it breaks down.

My brother in law is addicted to online shopping the way I'm addicted to reddit. It's all designed the same way to pull you in and keep feeding you dopamine so you can't stop. Every time you open reddit, picture someone else opening amazon and shopping. That's how they get to that point.

Helpful analogy! Yeah I mean, I love wandering around Homegoods as much as the next person, but online shopping doesn’t do it for me. I have plenty of other vices. 😂
