Zen Shopping

The art of using someone elses preferences in order to shape your purchases. The idea is to broaden your horizons by letting someone else choose for you.

The process is relatively simple.

Step 1: Find a person who looks like they know what they're going to buy.

Step 2: Follow said person to their destination, and take note of their purchases.

Step 3: Purchase an item(or items) identical to that of the person (within your financial limit).

Step 4: return home and enjoy whatever purchases you have made, be they food, music, or literature, you must eat, listen to or read every bit respectively.
We were bored as hell so we decided to do a little zen shopping.

Grocery Shopping

Shopping that happens when you finally get tired of eating crackers and/or are out of soap. May involve searching for the mustard, since it isn't next to the ketchup, until you find mustard next to the hot dogs or something else equally logical.
My girlfriend always asks me to go grocery shopping with her but it's a really annoying way to spend time.
