That's what it's about, though, isn't it - conscious shopping. Not mindless, 'bulk' shopping. Who is that good for, except the bottom line of the retailer and its shareholders? (ok, it's VERY good for them, we all get that). Wouldn't it be fabulous if retailers supported conscious shopping by their customers? They'd be very loyal customers!Jill Chivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235958833943599904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322790412758624274.post-43990847932315060472010-07-30T20:55:01.714+10:002010-07-30T20:55:01.714+10:00awesome Jill.

Goofy, huh?<br /><br />I also almost never shop with friends, because this usually leads me to make too many purchases. Nothing that leads to buyer's remorse, mind you, but just too much relative to the budget I've set.<br /><br />For every man who enjoys shopping, I probably know 100 women.jennifer.selby@selbygroup.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468372293895398541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322790412758624274.post-48771855598935084372010-03-29T19:22:03.582+10:002010-03-29T19:22:03.582+10:00It worked!

Recently I had to get one more item for teaching a workshop in Saudi Arabia. I too focused on "my list", an item for the brown/tan part of my wardrobe, not the blue/black. Kept me from being suckered into a sale choice that wasn't as versatile. Is intentionality a word? You're right, it adds to the enjoyment.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991892801182710176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322790412758624274.post-50921295704522636452009-12-18T08:11:01.995+10:002009-12-18T08:11:01.995+10:00thanks K!thanks K!Jill Chivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235958833943599904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322790412758624274.post-89541348814135149062009-12-17T09:52:42.613+10:002009-12-17T09:52:42.613+10:00Hey Jill,
