Question

Alice, 35

I like shopping, but shopping with young children is not a good thing. I have to look after them while I'm shopping. I go shopping with my husband only when I buy something for him. When I look at a cheap dress, he always says, “It's beautiful on you.” But when I have an expensive one in my hands, he always says, “I don't think it fits you well.” So I often go shopping with my friends. It’s fun. I like shopping alone, too.

Maria, 26

I like shopping very much, but I never go shopping on weekends. There are too many people in shops. I don’t like shopping with other people. It usually takes me much time to buy things because I never buy the first thing I see. I always look around other shops to find the same thing cheaper. I’m good at finding cheap things. I don’t like buying food in small shops or street markets. I think food in supermarkets is fresh and cheap.
