SHOPPING ESSAY

I like going shopping, especially in the sales, because you can find a lot of special prices. But there are some questions related to going shopping that I don’t like. The first thing is:
When I find a bargain, I feel strange. On the one hand, I’m happy to find something cheap, but on the other hand, I think “this is the real price for this thing, so I have paid too much for this thing all the year!” Another question related to this is: when I see, for example, a lot of trousers very cheap but nobody has bought them, I think “this is very suspicious”!
The second question is that in the sales, all the shops and the shopping malls are full of people and you must do long queues! For this, I prefer the second or the third sales, because there aren’t a lot of people and the fitting rooms are empty!
And the third question is: I don’t like the consumer atmosphere that there is in the sales. This is because, when you see a good bargain, you don’t think if you really need it, you only think: “it‘s cheap! I have to buy it!”
Nowadays, we have another possibility to buy: we can shop online. On the one hand, this is good because it is very fast and easy, because you can buy without leaving your home. But, on the other hand, you must be careful with your credit card, because, if the website isn’t safe, somebody can copy your information and buy with your money!
Finally, I want to talk about an illness related to go shopping: the compulsive buyer. These people have an addiction and they buy a lot of things that they don’t need and spend a lot of money with this.
And now, I would like to ask you: what do you think about shopping online, sales and the consumerism?
