I’m not a shopaholic!

I admit it. I hate shopping. I hate it so much I only go clothes shopping once a year. I wait for the selling / sales to start, and then go into town to buy all my clothes for the year. I shop along / around for the cheapest bargains / costs rather than the things I like best. I try them over / on and, as long as they fit, I buy them. I don’t bother keeping the bill / receipt, as I know I won’t go back to the shop if there is a problem! Also, I always pay change / cash, as I don’t want to get a huge credit / check card bill at the end of the month. And if I really need some new clothes later during the year, I order them from a mail-order catalogue / menu. It’s so much easier – you can look for / through it at home and make a decision without a shopping / shop assistant hanging around trying to get you to buy something you don’t want!
