Morning ALL!


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

Grocery shopping I am a hunter. I am in and out. Hate it!
Other shopping it depends on my mood, sometimes I am a gatherer if I have money to spend. When I don't have extra money I am a hunter.
On the other hand in pet shops I love to look around and play with the animals.
I like to see what things they have for dogs etc., so, in a pet shop I am a gatherer. Same in the dollar store... look out!
Oh and craft stores, look out! I am sooooo bad as a gatherer there.
It prety much depends on my mood and where I am whether I am a hunter or a gatherer.
Hugs,
Laurie
Fun question and fun to read the answers!

I am definitely the hunter, although friends and my DH have tried to make a gatherer of me! LOL!


The only place I even approach the gatherer is in fabric or craft stores. There I do revel in all that there is to see and feel!

If you’re not successful at gathering, you go hunting? Vise versa?
Doesn’t it depend on a person interest? I never gather around the dairy area when I need milk. I usually go there and pick up a gallon and move on. I can’t think of standing in front of the dairy products and looking at each and every brand for 10 mins to see if I want a Hood’s milk or a Geralick Farm’s milk. Now if you plot me down in front of the bakery or floral section of Stop and Shop…I can take ½ hrs around those areas. How can I decide if I want a french bouquet or french baguette for my table. ;-)

Good day dear Caly,

I am a mix of both depending upon many different circumstances. Have a great week!

I try to be a 'hunter', but even with a list I always come out of the store with things not on the list! I have gotten better lately though at mainly doing hunting (i.e. stick to the isle(s) I need in the grocery store, not doing them all).

In other parts of my life, I'm definitly a gatherer, as can been seen by my extensive collection of 'things', LOL!
