Shop, Shop, Just Don't Stop!
I adore buying books. I do it online, in used book stores, in big box book stores, and small specialty book stores. If there was a Dr. Seuss riddle about buying books, I'd be in it (what rhymes with Tania?).
I also like buying DVDs, candles, art, picture frames, and plants (during the spring/summer). On the other hand, I hate buying clothing, cutlery, stamps, pillows (I can never decide!), and make-up. Unfortunately, I need some of all of the above. Rats.
What is your favourite type of shopping? What kind of shopping can you just not stand?

I love love love buying books as well. Even though my little house is already bursting at the seams with them. We have an annual Book Fair at the Fairgrounds...all old library books. *sigh* I like to buy a big ol' MYSTERY box or two...frequently I get some real gems.
I HATE buying...groceries. Probably because I have to do it so often. I wish I could do that online as well, and have them delivered to my door.
Then I could wallow in my laziness. ;)

I spend a fortune on books and dvds - I have a huge collection of both. I also have a thing for buying magazine. :)

I love buying books too - and will buy then anywhere and everywhere, though my favorite places are thrift stores and library sales. The lure of hidden treasure. I love to grocery shop -esp. at gourmet grocery stores. Clothing shopping - UGH. I'd rather go to the dentist. Consequently I live in jeans and polo shirts. The day I dread more than anything is the day I have to shop for a mother of the brides dress. I hope my girls elope!

I love buying books, music CDs, DVDs, & magazines. I also have this thing about anything photography - my passion! Tickets to some fantastic holiday destination. I always buy something special from every place I travel - usually a painting or something made by a local artist.
Shopping I am wrestle over - food shopping because I get overwhelmed with too much choice. Same with clothes, shoes, & make-up - can never make any decisions. =)

I love going make up shopping! All the cosmetic counters feel like home, sadly :P I would shop for music more if it didn't feel like such a rip off to actually "buy" a CD these days. I love getting new DVD's and new electronic gadgets...shoes....have to have shoes...do NOT like clothes shopping either!

I am addicted to buying "smells". I never have enough cologne, perfume, candles, incense. Whatever smells "good", to me. I love to buy books, magazines, DVDs, CDs, groceries put me in heaven, clothes, I can take or leave, I have stuff from when my kids were very young, they are all over 30 now!!! True! I can't wear shoes anymore, (neuropathy), but I love them. I like most of all, MONEY, to spend how I want, and when I want. Come on Publishers Clearing House!!!

I love shopping for souvenirs, because that means that I am on vacation somewhere exotic! ;^)
I'm not crazy about shopping for dress clothes.

Definitely love shopping for books. I cannot go inside a bookstore and come away empty handed.
On the hate list is grocery shopping. Hate it.

Hate:
Grocery shopping. I mean I really hate it.
Love:
Pharmacies. I think I'm addicted to them. I love browsing on my breaks and looking at all the fancy shampoo, and the make up. It's so much fun. You can even get underwear at the pharmacy. Also, I do use cold medicine, so that's handy.

What kind of shopping do I love? DO I have to pick one? How about shoes, clothes, books, home decor to start...I even love grocery shopping...I know it's sick but I love spending money (too bad I never have enough to spend). I think the thing I hate shopping for would have to be incontinence products but luckily I don't need to. :)

I absolutely LOVE buying make-up, especially lipstick, but you know that already! It is my weakness and addiction I think, if such an addiction exists. Doh! Right now I need to apply some lipstick cuz I'm at work and it all came off after eating my teriyaki noodles....and I feel naked without it plus people ask me if I'm feeling well when I don't have any on. I think I look sickly.... OK I am back. I like buying books but sadly it takes me FOREVER to actually read them. Hmmm...you know that already too hahaha remember Interview with the Vampire? That one took me forever to read and it was borrowed from "Allie" so she can second that. I love shopping. The only thing I hate shopping for is feminine products, wink wink nudge nudge, say no more.
