I hated shopping...but almost every time I'm out at a store, I come home with *something*.
I think what I really like is just having options and being able to buy something. There's been a number of times I've bought something in the store and it sat in the bag for ages before I pulled it out. There's even been times I've forgotten I've bought something. I admit to being a bit of a shopaholic but I "justify" it by saying at least I don't go out more than 1-2 times a week, and I don't blow a ton of money (nobody in the family is going hungry because of my shopping sprees).
