It's too bad they don't make a shopping bug repellent, because you're going to get bitten by that bug today! If you lack the power to resist it completely, then at least do your shopping in a place that won't melt your credit cards. How about visiting a vintage store or thrift store? It's sure to offer a few hidden gems, plus a free walk down memory lane when you encounter half of your old record collection! You don't have to buy things to have fun.
