Yesterday was Black Friday, the annual day for consumer sales in the USA, and to a lesser degree in Canada. Although I am not a shopper, I thought this would be a good time to find and share a few ‘words of wisdom’ on the attractions and detractions of shopping.
“For some, shopping is an art; for others it’s a sport.” – Pamela Klaffke
“The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.” – Marcelene Cox (One of the first things I did with Dan, twenty some years ago, was grocery shopping for my three teenagers and myself. The first time, I spent two hundred and fifty dollars. Two weeks later, I spent three hundred dollars. Dan has been doing the bulk of our shopping ever since. 🙄)
“Ever notice there are no clocks in stores? It’s like casinos; they don’t want you to know how much time you’ve spent dropping your quarters.” – Gina Barreca
“Sometimes I get road rage just pushing a shopping cart in a supermarket.” – Unknown (I don’t know who wrote it but I have seen the people who do it. Just one of the reasons I avoid shopping.)
“Once again we come to the holiday season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.” – Dave Barry
“Those who hate shopping, don’t know how to shop.” – Unknown (I used to go shopping with my grandchildren – a lot. When Maddy was two, she knew how to shop. I set her down at Walmart one day. She ran the entire length of the store, pigtails flying, flapping her arms, and “cock-a-doodle- dooing”. 🤦♀️
“Online shopping gives me a reason to live for another 3-5 business days.” – Unknown (but hilarious)
That’s it for today! Take care and have a great day! 💞
