curb shopping 

Going around urban areas, picking up things people have placed outside their homes on the curb, meant for someone to take them or for the garbage trucks to collect them. Either in nice weather when many people are doing big spring cleanings, or on designated house-clearance dates posted by officials, on the curb in front of people's houses you will see bookcases, desks, large plastic toys, bikes, lawnmowers, and things of similar nature. During these times you will see families driving around with a rented trailer browsing through things and taking what they deem sellable.
Dude, look at that gypsy family curb shopping with their van. They are driving through the suburbs with 2 mph stopping traffic, and things are falling off the roof at every speed bump.

Windows shopping 

Spending an inordinate amount of time viewing page after page of an item, say shoes, on multiple websites.
I was Windows shopping for almost 3 hours this morning....I looked at almost 4000 pairs of shoes and didn't buy shit.

Shopping Nazis 

when superstores, such as Safeway, corruptly remove and expel certain products because their exceptional quality and popularity eclipses that of the cheap imitations of these same products, which bear the superstore’s brand name
whenever a good product comes along and keeps getting sold of the selves, the Shopping Nazis soon come up with a cheapo knockoff and destock the good one that people want, dishonestly pretending it’s an unpopular item.

Calendar Shopping 

Those times when you buy a new Calander before New Years. This is usually done a day or two after Christmas.
