stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned
into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without
being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even

something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
