I don't know because I have never thought of shopping as a sort of entertainment. However, whether I like it or not, I only go shopping when there's an upcoming event or ceremony, such as the end of the year or my birthday. Anyway, when I go shopping, I buy both shoes and clothes.

Definitely, I would buy it if I had extra money. When I go shopping, I consider both what I need and what I want. At that moment, I feel like buying those things. If I have enough money, I can buy them without worry. But If I don't have enough money, I get stress.

How often do you go shopping for clothes or shoes?

Honestly, I only purchase for clothes and shoes on some special dates like during promotions, due to their cost are higher than my monthly earnings. However, when I go shopping with my parents, this might not be a big problem.

I love to go shopping, especially if it's with my mom, but I don't go very often since it involves a lot of money, but I do go from time to time to buy clothes or the essentials that are needed.

Of course, I really enjoy shopping. Sometimes, I shop for household necessities or clothes on weekends. When I don’t have time to go to the store, I shop online because it saves time, and sometimes the prices are even cheaper. Shopping is also a form of refreshment for me because it’s so enjoyable.

Do you enjoy shopping? How often do you go shopping for clothes or shoes?

Yes, I enjoy and like shopping, but I don’t buy clothes or shoes very often. If something isn’t really necessary, I tend to postpone the purchase and focus on what I truly need. However, it’s not uncommon for me to buy clothes or shoes that I really like, even if I don’t actually need them.

i really love shopping, usually with my sibling or my mom. Shopping requires a lot of money, so i only buy essentials like clothes and shoes, and i usually do it every 2 or 3 months. Sometimes, i also shop online on Shopee because it’s often cheaper there.
