Week 4: $hopping!

Of course it is necessary to buy things. Food, clothes, services are all part of everyday life. But do you shop as a hobby? What kind of shopping do you like to do? Some people shop for fun. Some people like shopping so much, they become addicted to it ("shopaholics"). Some people really don't enjoy it.

  2. When I go to the supermarket, my mother write the shopping list. Because shopping list keeps away me(or my mother)from impulse buying. If you use shopping list, you save yor time also. So I usually makes shopping list.

    I love shopping online and I'm a regular online shopper.
    The online shopping malls that I use all the time includes hotboom.com and auction.co.kr.
    hotboom.com is a trendy clothing mall and auction.co.kr sells pretty much anything and everything.
    There are many reasons why I shop online.
    First, it saves a lot of time.
    Second, I can check and compare the prices from many different shops.
    Third, the price is competitive. It's usually 1.5 times cheaper than offline shops.
    However, there are disadvantages to online shopping.
    For example, sizes and color of the product may vary from what I see on the screen.
    But that can be prevented if I double check on the product info before purchasing it.
    Therefore, if you learn the know-how, internet shopping can be a very convenient tool.

  11. I like 'eye-shoping' and to go shoping.
    I often enjoy 'eye-shoping' with my some friends when I have breaktime. then I don't use money easy.
    But when I go normal shoping If I found something that I want to bye and I have enough money to bye that, I don't hesitate and bye that.
    So after finish shoping my wallet become lihgt. T_T
