Am I The Only One Who Makes Shopping A Sport

I love to shop, but unfortunately I am addicted to to shopping and our bank account cannot always bend to include that extra blender, pair of shoes, or tupperware. I learned to turn shopping into a sport. I scour the internet looking for clearance products only, now I really don't keep score. But here is what I do. I go faux shopping, by hitting my favorite online retailer and adding things that I want/need into the shopping cart and before I get to the check out I leave the site. Most sites now a days have a memory basket which holds your items in the checkout basket even if you open the site another day your items are still there. The great thing about this is that if you visit your checkout basket every few days and one of your items goes on a better sale you can snatch it up for even cheaper than the clearance price. Now this may not always be the case but when you can get something that is severely off the original price I feel as though I have won the game.

I love to shop online too. I have found a way to get rebates on everything. Too Cool. I shop mostly sales only and by using my powermall I get a rebate on everthing on top of the sale price. My mall is free. I try to buy everything through my mall and when my rebate account gets to $25.00 I get a check. If you are shopping on line anyway, you might as well get part of your money back.

I love shopping and with having a back injury or stores that we don't have here in Canada I find myself going online shopping. I don't look at prices cause I always get something in return. Wheather it be points or money back.
