6 SHOPPING

Going to the shops is always a chore not to be envied! To buy or not to buy – that is the burning question!
Well, I guess, to be able to buy, you should have enough money in the first place and then you will have to have a big enough fridge or cupboard to store the hoard which you so lavishly purchased! Imagine being in that position – just walk into a shop and grab whatever takes your fancy…. Imagine not having to scrutinise the price tags very carefully … imagine walking past the bargain stores and entering the hallowed spaces of the sumptuous and elegant (dare I call them “shops”) ……… This old lady will feel right out of her depth if that should by some miracle this should cross my path!
There is always the Lotto which may (or may not) bring unexpected riches. While waiting for the final draw to take place, there are many castles in the air … visions of undreamt-of luxuries and cruises … new houses and smart cars! It’s always someone else who does the winning … oh well!
No, give me the bargain R10-Rand shop where I can scrounge for a real bargain – not to mention the Red Cross or Hospice shops! There is always something which someone else has discarded which is just calling my name! Yes the one in Winnipeg as well as some in Cambridge was also visited and enjoyed!
WHO SAYS THAT YOU NEED PLENTY OF MONEY TO DO SHOPPING!
