was it a ritual for you, has it replaced your religion.
Did you worship any brands, standing admiringly at the alter of retail sacred space?

Yes been shopping today to the market, 70% of our shopping is from the local market, we never use carrier bags it all goes in my rucksack, never use the supermarkets support our local traders always. Most of our clothes come from charity shops or the local hippy shop "Katmandu", if we have to buy new its never normally brand names, why pay the extra just for somebodys name. However a few months ago i picked up 70£ Ping top from a charity shop for £2.99 only because it fitted well and was decent quality so will last.
I bought some caterpiller boots 7 years ago and am still wearing them, only reason for the brand name here was ,i knew they would last....

I bought three videos for one euro each and two audio album tapes for 50 cents each in a charity shop. I also got a newspaper with a free James Bond movie for 70 cents. My days shopping comes to less than a fiver for four movies and two albums.
We don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy life. We need to re-use, recycle and reduce consumption and increase creation. Finding a bargain is my ritual when shopping, but it's nothing like religion.
Wearing big brand labels is bad for you, cut off the labels and free yourself from their influence on your system.

Putting on a pair of glasses is giving in to the weakness of the flesh. Be strong take off your viewing assistant and let the lord guide your path to work this morning.
I really love consumerism.

No, not at all I would nor could never ever replace my religion with shopping or anything else and I pray for those that do.

Religion, Spirtualism, worship is not like shoppe. You can't shop it any where in this universe. It is belief, thinking & meditation a work of own Brain, Heart & Mind.
