Shopping Observed

This may not be true for all, but it is for some I know!

Guys out shopping:

"May as well get what we need while we're here" 

They proceed to put it two or more of everything, 

so they won't have to come back in a long time

(they do that with groceries, too, on a bigger scale). 

Two big packs of socks, 

two shirts the same style, same color, 

two pants the same color, 

etc. 

One trip to big store in town= maybe a couple gallons of gas.

Gals out shopping:

"Oh dear, I'd better not spend all that money;

 I should be frugal;

 I'll go home and think about it." 

They drive home,

think about whether they really need it or not, 

go back the next day to take another look. 

Can't make a decision.

Go home to think about it some more. 

Go back again and buy the item, 

but only one. 

Then after a week of wearing it or living with it, they say "I think I may get another..." 

Drive back to the store to see if there are any left.

Buy one in a different color. 

Four (or more) trips to big store in town= empty gas tank.
