The Free Shopping Fix

My daughter and I were visiting the other day when she surprised me by saying she thought she might be addicted to shopping. After seeing the surprised look on my face she moderated that statement by saying she didn’t think she was addicted, but she really liked it. She went on to describe one way she battles her urges. She signs on to one of her favorite online stores and starts shopping, filling the cart as she goes. Once she is done she empties the cart rather than checking out. That way she gets her shopping fix without buying a thing.
