    I'm guilty as charged.  I love shopping for clothes, I love going to the market, I love going to the drugstore, I love going to Ikea, Target, etc. and I love me a good bargain, so I pop in the local thrift store at least once a week.  

    Is it something that is wired in most females? What is your biggest shopping addiction?

    I love shopping.  Banana Republic is my vice.  I frequent the craft stores as well.

    I don't think I'm a shopaholic in the traditional sense... but I do have an addiction to ordering too much food when we eat out, just so I can pick around at different things. I hate eating just one thing. Maybe it's cause I'm Chinese and I'm used to eating family style. Luckily I love leftovers so It's ok.

    I am pretty good about not shopping a lot, but it is also bad, because when I do need something, I rarely get a good deal. I just go to anthropologie and buy whatever is there, whatever the price, and I only go to Anthro because it's 2 blocks away and I'm too lazy to go any farther to buy anything.

    My Big Three are Target, Lowe's and The Gap....sigh...I do love Ikea but thank goodness our closest store is a bit of a hike so I don't do as often as I would like.

    I have a major addiction to etsy, anthro, gilt groupe, and bluefly. Sigh. Not convenient to have this problem when you're a starving grad student.

    Most of the time I'm good about not shopping, but every now and then I get on a shopping kick and absolutely have to buy buy buy. I'm going to have to break the habit very soon, though. Mr. Bunny and I have a pact to reform our spending habits after we get married next weekend!

    I just got back from the mall...

    Total shopoholic.

    The wedding has both helped and hurt my addiction. I am always shopping, but for the perfect thing- that seems to take forever to find!!

    I am a total shopaholic!!!!  Take a look a my profile if you don't believe me  Are you a shopaholic? :  wedding Icon Wink

    It is the biggest rush for me to shop a sale at my favorite store and add up all of the orignal prices vs. what I paid.  If it's not at least a 70% savings I get disappointed.

    My favorite store is Ross Dress For Less.  I got a pair of Not Your Daughter's jeans there recently for $40 (retail is usually well over $100). I love that place, always great finds.

    I'm an online shopping addict, because I have ZERO patience for the legwork that it takes to shop in the malls- I hate digging through stuff to find what I want! My faves: Anthropologie, Revolve Clothing, Tobi, Luna Luz, Ebay, Gilt, RueLaLa, Hautelook, Gomatta Girls, and Sephora (that's a baddy right there, lol)

    Shoes are the worst for me, I looooathe shoe shopping, so I tend to just order off of Ebay or Zappos. 

    I will go into Marshalls or TJMaxx to find sunglasses and beauty stuff though- found a $400 pair of Tom Fords the other day for $69.00 Are you a shopaholic? :  wedding Icon Biggrin

    I'm an online shopaholic.  I absolutely hate going to the store, unless it's Target.  My vice is usually Amazon.  That place can sell me anything!

    I love shopping & do it all the time.  I am trying to cut back, but it's proven to be quite difficult.  oops!

    This summer, my drug of choice has been JCrew & Gap.  It's kinda sick.  At least Gap isn't too expensive...sigh

    Don't even get me started on things for the home...now THAT is really bad.

    I hate shopping. Hate hate hate.

    (My fiance loves it. XD)

    My favourite kind is grocery shopping because I get food and free nibbles and there are NO CHANGE ROOMS, hah. =D But I still don't like it because I have to be all responsible and not get all the things I want (ooh! a coconut! ooh! a prickly pear! ooh! chips! ooh! jalepeno poppers! etc.)

    I am weird.

    And proud of it!!  Are you a shopaholic? :  wedding Icon Biggrin  My biggest addiction is probably dresses.  I must have a million.  But my favorite things to buy are handbags.  I will stalk a designer bag for months and finally break down and get it.  Gucci, Kate, Louis, Prada, Burberry, Longchamp...ohhh...they make me so happy!

    Shopoholic here!  I love shopping for pretty much anything.  Clothes, handbags, makeup, groceries, Target, furniture, you name it.  As we get closer to the wedding I am trying to not indulge though.  Only the necessities!

    I'm definitely a shopaholic.  One good thing about planning the wedding is that I get all of my shopping out of my system on wedding-related purchases.  So at least I'm not spending as much money on clothes!

    I am a shopaholic no doubt, I inherited from my mom, thanks mom!  I have gotten really good about really asking myself what I need and what I want.  I now ask myself before I go up to the register with an arm full of stuff what things can I put back, I have come a long way, but still have a problem for reals.........
