?How do you like shopping

Well, I can say I’m really into shopping. I go shopping whenever I have free time and of course money! You know, shopping changes my mood, relaxes me, and rewires my brain. I really like to shop around to see if I can hunt a real bargain. But sometimes I’m on a tight budget and I have to be careful with money, so I just go window shopping and browse around shops.
