Morning ALL!


Someone pointed out an interesting analogy to me last week about Shopping and how it relates to our feminine and masculine sides.

I try oh so hard to be a "hunter." I even make lists, go when I am short on time, etc...but alas, I almost always slip into that "gatherer" role rather quickly once I get in the store(s)! I just can't help it!

Cute question!

Cool question.

I am a hunter and have been most of my life. If I go to an outlet, I tend to be a hunter that is gathering in various stores. My girlfriends tend to be gatherers and it is frustrating waiting for them to walk around the stores, touch everything, and walk out with nothing!!! I stay away from places that I have NO USE for. I might browse Bass or LL Bean, but usually I am hunting for bargains. When I grocery shop, I am a hunter. Get in, git 'er done, and get out. I have a set pattern and a route I take through the store.

Okay, it's time for me to go to Old Navy and get a couple of tank tops. Might just browse the clearance section....a bit hof unting and gathering. lol

I used to primarily be a gatherer. I loved to shop and could spend lots of time in stores, browsing through the sales racks. Now I'm mostly a hunter, especially in the grocery store. I've never been one to linger and browse when I'm food shopping. I can be focused when I want/need to be (especially at work) but like to be a gatherer and take my time every now and then.

I am a perfectly balanced combination of both!

I will say a gatherer. If I know I need something and go Hunt for it I never find it. I would rather search thru tons of stuff to find a great bargain.

Hey great topic!

I only like to go shopping when I know for sure where the item is and I try to have a good idea about how much the item is. Lately, the only store I'm interested in is the school store lol! I have to be careful, I'll be walking around wearing Deltech clothes and forget I have my own clothes, lol! I'm not a big fan on promoting my school, but it's still early in the game just yet.

But, when I do go shopping, I would usually go to a place that I brag about a lot, the place is called Farmer's Market. They have the most reasonable prices there, and I love the "down home" feeling. It's almost like coming into a country setting.

Thanks,

Sebastian

I'de have to say like Storm said.. I am a bit of both..Depending on the circumstances.. I can get into my head just what I am (Hunting) going after and stay very focused... and get it done. Or I can at other times

Hehehe what a great question!

I'm definitely a gatherer, and I ALWAYS come out with stuff I didn't go in for, even if I'm popping in for a pint of milk! At the moment, I'm trying to budget a bit better, so I'm writing lists, and I still come out with double the stuff I came in for! GRRR...lol

I blame my mother-she's the biggest gatherer on the planet! ;o)

Gentle hugs,

Chris
