We’re All Shopping Addicts Now

Kinda yes/no on this. My willingness to buy random $2 electronic tchotke from aliexpress has risen and fallen as a function of their quality. I bought some plastic cable-winder boxes for my audio leads, They're a bit "meh" but for $2 each I don't mind. I bought a $52 used chromecast audio (not on ali) and it works perfectly and I am "meh++" because now I have working music in a deprecated Google product.

But I have stopped buying expensive soft-pod Dutch coffee at $500 per shipment because I found the return was dropping against the cost of other product. I invested in a bean-to-cup so now my pod-specific dutch coffee maker is useless but I bought both it, and 5 years of coffee totally online. I wouldn't have done that 10 years ago but 5 feels like forever.

I totally do buy more clothes online, but only by specific makers against my knowledge of their sizing. I don't entirely like fast fashion and I dislike how often you get a thing and its fit is poor. It's way over time for clothing to be measured in cm, and sizing to refer to some standard model. It does for me, not for my partner. (and womens clothes need to have bigger pockets.)

I'm not addicted to SPENDING. I do enjoy BROWSING.
