Where would you go on a shopping spree?
We live in an age of consumption and I wonder just how good that is for us. I am not sure it’s healthy for me or my wallet to have 24 hour access to Amazon the largest retainer in the world. I wonder repeatedly about the story I once heard of a man who loved gooseberries and loved it when gooseberry season came when he could indulge. Now he eats gooseberries all year round and something has been lost. I feel the same when I see hot cross buns for sale. Once these were a Good Friday treat, now they are ubiquitous.
So with this in mind I have cut down on my consumption and now reserve shopping sprees for Christmas. I am trying to eat seasonally and shop according to seasonal needs.
But if I were to splurge it would be Warhammer and books.
Wow! That is one eye opener of a post! You nailed it. Yes these perennially available stuff are ‘ kill joys’… I enjoy just losing myself in the local market, looking and feeling the life around me, more than buying stuff!
