Girls just love to shop! No matter what mood you are in be it happy or
sad, you almost never lose the enthusiasm for shopping. However, together with
this pleasant feeling associated with shopping, we are also at risk of
post-shopping guilt.
We usually feel guilty after shopping when we think of all the money we
spent for items perceived as luxury. Our thoughts may be full of “what ifs.”
What if we spent it on more useful stuff such as grocery items, food,
work-related items, or just saved it for more important needs. What is worse is
when this guilt is accompanied by the fact that we might actually have fallen
on difficult financial times. We might be earning a salary that is merely
adequate or even less for our necessities or we may be behind the payment of
our bills.
But
before you completely rule out shopping in the future, why not try to think of
alternative ways to address your financial dilemma without sacrificing your
self-indulging recreation? You might simply cut down on your expenses by
choosing products wisely or go for cheaper brands of clothes or better yet
avail of discount coupons and discount cards upon your next
purchase. Discount cards and coupons may help cut down your shopping
expenses by a significant amount. It is like shopping during a sale where you
enjoy the same clothes, shoes and bags for a much cheaper price. Spending is
not so bad once you do it responsibly so girls, be wise and enjoy care-free
shopping!
