Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.
Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.
Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.
Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...
My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!

Get the Corpse Shopping mug.A person who hates in-game cash shops, but uses it and buys only the "most necessary" things, then looks down on the persons using the store for other needs, eg. vanity stuff, custom colors and so on.
In Free-to-play games, person buys more character slots, weapon slots etc. with real money. If someone uses the same money to buy cosmetic stuff, cash shop Saints surely reminds him from that in future - many times.

Get the shopping at the versace store mug.Usually performed by women, spending all day shopping and carrying home all the vast bags they now own. Throw themselves in amongst them all and wave their arms and legs about to resemble an angel. Typically done due for over-exhausted excitement!
Sally spent all day shopping, carrying home 2 to the dozen of bags. Finally back home and feeling exhausted, the first thing she did on returning home is throw herself in amongst all her bags and did a shopping angel.
