 I find that hard to believe, actually shopping does take some time learn especially in a city like london, too many shops this definitetly a material world.

I do most of my shopping online.  Not only is it convenient but you can catch some pretty good deals from time to time.

I'm not always a very good shopper.  Something of a mercenary, I'm here to do a job, get in and get out - mission accomplished.  My instinct when I see something neat is "nope, don't need it, stick to the plan"...  As opposed to my mom, who is a notorious impulse shopper

I'm doing mostly online shopping these days...  My city has ONE record store, an HMV to boot - I'll be damned if I can find any of the CDs I want from there.  The bookstore has a better selection!

No. Wasting of money.

No. Wasting of money.

Addicting? Yes.  Costs money? Yes.  Have money? No. 

I am slowly cutting down on my shopping by planning meals ahead of time (IE, this is for dinner, this for lunch) instead of buying a bunch of stuff and using it whenever.  I am also trying to cut down the number of visits to the store to 3 times a week.  One good way to limit this is running to the store/walking back.  Given that Wal-Mart is 6.5 miles away, that's a good workout!

I know you're just waiting for that paycheck.

Wow, do you actually make that trek on a regular basis?  I remember when I used to get all my groceries on bike, 3 bags and a bunch of toilet paper was a tedious balancing act!

My strategy to not spend money:  being impossibly busy with work + wanting to be good at piano = 30 hours/day.  No time to spend money, even if I really need to get something

Wow, you win on the bad-shopper scale

Crowds used to bother me a bit, mostly from being too self-conscious...  Then I learned that everybody else in the crowd is too self-conscious to really notice me anyways.

yeah, I hate shopping...  Never wonder why the others like it.

We used to shop weekly but now we try to go only once (or twice) a month.  Requires lots and lots of planning and it can be frustrating as hell sometimes.  It's worth it though, we have saved a lot of money this way. 

I keep track of all our expenses in Quicken too, and I have for the last 4 years or so.  What's neat about Quicken is that I can view our spending reports and compare this year's monthly average on groceries with last year's.  The difference is staggering, I can NOT believe how much we used to spend on groceries when we had no plan or strategy.

shopping.... grrr....!!

I'll look into that, although it's a totally different story when you're batching it, for the record. 

And @cherub, I have money, but I want to spend less than I earn, which is a bit of a challenge given how much/little I do.
