Is shopping a sport?



Kristin and I doing our damage at Fashion Valley

We had ourselves quite a successful shopping trip but between the two of us, that is a given.

I brought the subject up to Kristin, the one I have disagreed with my husband about.
Is shopping a sport?
My husband says a hobby. But when I find an awesome find, worth the $, you can't tell me that that kill isn't any different than hunting. Is it not? And hunting is a sport. And you can hunt as a necessity to eat and I can shop to merely clothe myself. But to hunt for fun, is that not the same as a good hunt for clothes? Or for a white peter pan collared shirt today? Which the American Apparel employee responds to my search with, "Is that for a Halloween costume?"
Really?!! No. No, it is not for a costume. You shouldn't work here. Or in this mall. And don't ever say that again because it's rude.

She actually did lead me to them. But they weren't fitted but I am considering this one. Shopping is not an easy sport. It takes effort and sometimes sweat. You gotta grab the goods before others do! But it does give me a rush-- a huge rush of endorphins thus making me a happier person and resulting in a happier, healthier lifestyle.
Cheers to our health and the sport of shopping!
Who's with me?!
We can bask in our winnings all day long!

Definitely a sport. Especially when you are moving in on the kill for a certain piece of clothing. You need skillz =)

I'm with you here, I'm pretty sure it constitutes a sport. It can be hard work, tiring and the more you work at it the better you get! xx

you should become a personal shopper and find me a casual white dress for pictures on the beach (mother in laws request). It's really hard to find one that I love in the fall...white is for summer.

I'm with you, I take great satisfaction in shopping! Sure, let's call it a sport. And therapeutic, I might add.

Shopping is definitely not, by any definition, a sport.
