Shopaholic?

Pretty similar, monster.

I hate shopping for clothes, buy 3 or 4 pairs of shoes/pullovers/whatever at a time and have done with it for the next few years.

I like shopping for food, as I enjoy cooking. Needs to a relaxed trawl though, not the rush after work or in the lunch break.

A new phone/car/furniture every year? Not for me, I buy things for life and take my time about it. While I could afford a big buy then and there out of my bank account, it simply doesn't seem right. The waiting, mulling and pondering seems to be prerequisite of the eventual satisfaction.

Buy second hand/antiques too, or get things that other people throw out in the street for the rubbish collection. Can't see why they should go to waste, when they are still good and maybe just "out of fashion". Besides, older things/antiques are often better quality.
