My dh considers Amazon a mall though. I never order. Dad- wait until the mid fifties hot flashes and your house will be in the 60's all of the time (and there will be NO complaining about the bill!)

I do not like to shop and have finally met some women who don't like to shop either. I don't have a lot of shoes or purses. My husband absolutely uses less toilet paper because he doesn't have aunt flo every month. My husband loves coupons but I have to say in Canada I don't find them as fun as when I lived in the USA. I do collect points like crazy to save us at least $100 a month on our groceries. Water-it's a clean thing for me but I mastered the 5 minute shower. I shower daily but my husband takes a longer, less often shower. My husband will water the lawns versus leaving the water running while he brushes his teeth. I won't go there as I am a gagger. Shopping-he likes the big ticket items while I would much rather buy things that makes my life easier. Thank God we don't have any debt besides our house and our payment is cheaper than rent. One square of toilet paper? I hope she's drinking enough water. Ha ha. I wonder where my huband and I came from because he is the cold one while I’m the hot one.

Sometimes the best way to control our bad habits is to stay away from places where we might be tempted to lose control.

Malls and shopping centers in general are stereotyping at it's finest. Stores are set up with women in mind, at least based on the consumption patterns the media has laid out for them. Most of us kind of go with the flow in most areas in life, and shopping is probably no different. Conditioning has so much to do with everything!

But if you drop me in a hardware store, a bookstore, or a music store I can gleefully spend lots of time and money.
