Shadow Shopper

A friend who follows you around whilst shopping, potentially because they have no sense of personal style or space. Highly annoying. When you ask their opinion they will often say what they think you want to hear, rather than their genuine belief, lest it be 'wrong'.

E-shopaholic

Somebody who spends an absolutely inordinate amount of time surfing the internet to buy things, usually collectibles or household items they don't need. At all.

Some e-shopaholics are known to invest in a useful product then buy everything associated with it, but in either case they often come close to bankrupting themselves.

John: Honey, where did all your money go this month?

Jane: I spent it all on the internet.

John: Oh dear lord, you're an e-shopaholic!

basement shopping

noun. rediscovering previously owned possessions with joy that is typically reserved for retail shopping. Often used in the context of items that were in storage in your parent's (or a parental figure's) basement, but can refer to the basements of friends or relatives. Frequently used for items that were packed and stored for a move. May also include toiletries, paper goods, liquor, or other trivial items liberated from said basement.

After hearing how Jen convinced her father to let her liberate the beer from the basement refrigerator, Jen's friends were impressed by her skillful basement shopping.

Jen decided to organize her spare bedroom closet and do some hard-core basement shopping.

Jess had way too much stuff in storage in her basement, so she invited Jen to do some basement shopping.

Amanda got an ice cream maker, a smoothie maker, and a tennis racket while basement shopping!

grudge shopping

My man ticked me off so I went and did some serious grudge shopping to get back at him. He will think twice before doing it again.
