Shopping is an activity in which a customer browses the available goods or services


presented by one or more retailers with the potential intent to purchase a suitable selection
of them. Shoppers' shopping experiences may vary. They are based on a variety of factors
including how the customer is treated, convenience, the type of goods being purchased, and
mood.

Shopping for pleasure

The modern phenomenon of shopping for pleasure is closely linked to the emergence of a
middle class in the 17th and 18th-century Europe. As standards of living improved in the
17th century, consumers from a broad range of social backgrounds began to purchase
goods that were in excess of basic necessities. An emergent middle class or bourgeosie
stimulated demand for luxury goods and began to purchase a wider range of luxury goods
and imported goods, including: Indian cotton and calico; silk, tea and porcelain from China,
spices from India and South-East Asia and tobacco, sugar, rum and coffee from the New
World.[18] The act of shopping came to be seen as a pleasurable pass-time or form of
entertainment.[2]

A shopping addict is someone who shops compulsively and who may feel like they have no
control over their behavior.

There are several different types of shopaholics, and they are as follows:

 Compulsive shopaholics who shop when they are feeling emotional


distress

 Trophy shopaholics who are always shopping for the perfect item

 Shopaholics who want the image of being a big spender and love
flashy items

 Bargain seekers who purchase items they don’t need because they
are on sale

 Bulimic shoppers who get caught in a vicious cycle of buying and


returning
 Collectors who don’t feel complete unless they have one item in
each color or every piece of a set

Some of the other emotional symptoms you may notice from a shopaholic include the
following:

 Spending more than they can afford

 Shopping as a reaction to feeling angry or depressed

 Shopping as a way to feel less guilty about a previous shopping


spree

 Harming relationships due to spending or shopping too much

 Losing control of the shopping behavior

It is said that a 2015 study found that the production and use of household goods and
services was responsible for 60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Not surprisingly,
wealthy countries have the most per capita impact. And they are not talking about the
shopping addicts, we must not forget that if we will not change something in everyday life
the climate change would cause big problems for humanity

6 And in addition lets talk about some ways to get rid of shopping addiction

1. KEEP AWAY FROM TEMPTATION

If you know you have a tendency to splurge on non-essentials, don’t tempt yourself with window-
shopping or trips to the mall for leisure.

2. TAKE INVENTORY

I donate multiple boxes of books, clothes and other household items throughout the year.

3. CALCULATE YOUR COST VS. LABOR

This has always been one of my most sobering and effective strategies to stop buying stuff I don’t
need. When I see the cost of an item, I calculate how many hours of work it would take to earn that
amount.

4. Better buy good quality and more expensive things that will serve you longer time
