shopping shenanigans 🛍️ The illusion of choice.

Post image

My supermarket had a twofer on shower gel, so I got 4 bottles, then the next time I was in I got another 4, then I was in another supermarket & they had other scents, so I bought 2 more. This is where it gets crazy: I then went out of my way to go to other shops searching for new scents! I'm hoping that by posting this here I can finally break my shower gel habit.

Are you on the spectrum, by chance? I ask because I feel like this is something I would do... and while I haven't been diagnosed, my two kids have, so I think it's safe to say 😅

I have noticed some down votes. I sincerely apologize for offending anyone, that was certainly not my intention.

It's fine, I am indeed on the spectrum & I respect that you recognised it.
