barn sale

My friend introduced me to "barn sale" last weekend. It was in a barn near the church. It's just like a typical garage sale... only it's not in the garage... but in the barn. Prices of items range from .25 cents to 1$. I found a lot of good stuff and my purchase costs me $9.75 (for 11 items which include jackets, sweatpants, belts and slippers). Most of the items are donations from people who want to help the church. But I was lucky to find 3 items (a jacket and 2 sweatpants) that are new with tags on it for a price of $1 each. Most women love shopping. It's therapeutic as we always claim, partly to justify ourselves from over spending or sometimes to use it as an alibi for maximizing our credit limit. But whatever our personal reason for shopping, we love it. It's a girl thing that's why men cannot relate to it. Shopping is a skill. A talent that most women are good at and have mastered. And yes, it's addictive too. Shopping gives women the power to achieve simple things in life. But with that power... comes great responsibility (as what uncle Ben told Peter Parker a.k.a. Spiderman). So the next time we buy, let's be responsible. Buy what we need and not we want.
