shopping hangover

When you wake up and are hit with the remembrance of last night's out of control shopping escapade.

There are a few infomercials on during the day but at night they are featured on nearly every channel. Big Business knows that as consumers, our guard is down at night, so they capitalize by only feeding us shopping options.

"Shopping hangover" applies to infomercials as well as online shopping - since after around 11 p.m. people start to feel the need to buy everything they've ever thought about...and some things they haven't.

"Dude - when I checked my e-mail this morning and had 17 congratulatory messages from eBay, I was hit with the biggest shopping hangover! What did I DO last night?"

Shopping-gasm

The pleasure a shopper experiences when (s)he finds the perfect item or an incredible deal.

Oh, my GOD! Can you believe I found this Prada purse on the bargain table? I 'm having the ultimate shopping-gasm.

geezer shopping 

An art form of sorts, mastered by older folks, wherein the full geriatric shopping experience, from shelves to check stand, is exceedingly slow and careful and therefore difficult for everyone around to tolerate without triggering impatience and duress.

Take a chill pill, dearie, I’m old - in case you haven’t noticed - and I have earned my right to get out into the world and do some geezer shopping!

spot shopping 

The intention of going to the store to buy one thing but you look for other things you may want.

I went spot shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and left the store with a cart full of junk.

outside-edge shopping 

Buying food only from the outside edge of the supermarket, where the fresh produce, milk, juice, etc. are displayed, in order to minimize the purchase of packaged products and to maximize eating healthy

He: Your boyfriend's really into ecology these days!
She: Yeah, he's even into outside-edge shopping?
He: Meaning?
She: He only buys stuff that is displayed around the outside edge of the supermarket because he thinks it's ecologically less damaging than the rest of the stuff there -- and better for you.
He: Neat!

Rocket Shopping 

To be in need of or in desire of an ace to be shown on the flop, turn, or river. Rocket Shopping may sometimes cause poker players to become oblivious to the other player's hands although other players may be Rocket Shopping as well

Jeff: I've got Ace high
Charlie: Ha! I knew you were rocket shopping! I've got two pair.

stall shopping 

Walking into the bathroom and looking into every single stall before determining which one is of the highest quality for your dump-taking.

Mindy: You took an awful long time in the bathroom!
Kate: Yeah, it was a mess in there. I had to do some serious stall shopping.
