It is the season for shopping. Everywhere that you look people are buying items and standing in checkout lines. Sale signs and coupons cover the newspapers.
Almost every store on every corner can be seen full of shoppers. Customers dash in and out making their purchases.
Many of the shoppers in the world are women. Of course most shopping this time of the year is for someone other than yourself.
However, women have a tendency not to be able to pass up a good deal. With this, I wonder how much do the husbands of these women truly know about their wife’s shopping?
I can remember seeing the commercials and television shows that display a woman coming home with several bags of items that she had purchased. As her husband entered the house, she hid her new items in the closet.
I can remember Roseanne doing something similar and hiding a bottle of expensive perfume from Dan.
Most men do not have a shopping bone in their body. They usually do not have the obsession that some women have with buying new things. Therefore, they often do not understand why new items are desired or needed. Men are often satisfied with what they have when it comes to clothing and home accessories. They are usually not as moved by finding a bargain such as women are. I know some women who will buy something on sale that they do not even want or need just because it was a great deal.
So do you tell your husband about the new purchases that you make? Does he know how much you buy when you shop? Does he know how often you shop? And the main question of them all is: does he care?
I would love to hear from all of the shop-a-holic wives out there.
