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.

It never occurred to me to have multiple shower gels on the go at the same time I usually use one until it's finished then move on to the next one

Pro tip, keep two on stock. Then you're never without.

Mostly just because you'll buy one bottle because it's cute and smells really nice, and then you go back ONE WEEK LATER AND ITS DISCONTINUED!! 😭😭
