It's getting out of hand.

I only go to one store but I'll go there if something I might be interested in crosses my mind and end up just browsing through a ton of stuff I can do without. Then I'll see something I once thought might be worth a look at which has been reduced in price to over 50% and I'll end up ordering it. This combined with my personality which enjoys collecting stuff is evil.

It's bad.

I have a similar habit when I get bored. I visit only one website as well, just a pity it's eBay. Generally common sense gets the better of me on the more expensive items, thanks to the high shipping costs. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably spend a fair amount more than I currently do.

Mine is Take2.co.za which gives me access to Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. Between the three of them there is always something that looks interesting on sale.

You are not alone. I rarely buy anything except food when on shopping malls. The moment I see something I like I take my Blackberry out and search all the local sites and end up buying a lot of extra stuff. The Kalahari free delivery offer (if you spend R385 or more) is responsible for me buying a lot of stuff I didn't need.

I am glad I am not the only one .... most times I incl a DVD or game just for the bill to be more than R385 ... for the free shipping. I figure that I am scoring and freebie ...

But that's right, the more you spend the more you save ???
