Little shop

When you need to buy groceries, but you're not in the mood to do a full grocery shop.

A little shop is where you only buy enough items to get you through the next couple of days.

Wife: We need to go and do a grocery shop.

Husband: I CBF doing a big shop, can we just do a "little shop" instead.

identity shopping

A form of voyeurism frequently practiced by narcissistic, self-obsessed people with unconsciously low self-esteem while walking around or riding on public transport through a busy city.

It involves making snap judgments about the appearance of members of the same sex, e.g. clothes, hair style, build, accessories etc. The identity shopper then copies the appearance of people they like the look of, and so feel much better about themselves. Until they see someone better looking, then they copy them, and so on.

Over time, this cycle raises the standards of dress for a large part of the population which is why people in cities always look so much hotter.

Girl: "Wow, you've gotten hot since you moved to the city! Good work!"
Guy: "Thanks! I just try to copy all the hot guys I see walking around."
Girl: "Dude, you are so gay."
Guy: "Nah, it's just identity shopping."

Shopping Theory

Shopping Theory is the concept that applies to both life in general and shopping itself. If you’re certain of something, you just know. If you see something you absolutely love, you won’t even look at the price tag because you know you want it. If you question it at all, even if it’s on clearance, put it back - you don’t need it. Same goes for everyday life decisions; if you question it you can do without. When you know, you know.

I found a dress that was on clearance but after trying it on and shifting around I couldnt make up my mind if I needed it; because I questioned I applied Shopping Theory and put it back despite the sale price.
