Yes, my best friend. Not a day goes by that she doesn't buy something. From 4 containers of ice cream (because it's on sale) to a new winter coat. She has over 150 pair of underwear. That's just nuts to me.

No, that's just her estimate. I personally think she has much more. In her bedroom, she has 3 triple dressers and one regular chest of drawers with one dedicated to panties. She has so many that the panties are also stacked on top of the dresser.

Sounds like my two neighbors. They have drawers and several night stands all over flowing. One single turned a closet into a food pantry 😮. We have 12 cabinets in our kitchen. They both have a two bedroom. Mine one bed.

2 neighbors have every wall filled with pics, all cabinets over flowing, 2nd bed stuffed, can't close closet doors have so much stuff, every nook, drawers and space full, trail in master closet.  One receive $9000 settlement and said the government told her she needed to spend it all within 30 days and all $9000 on herself, she said they told her she was not to help anyone not even giving tithes. She spent $9000 all on herself and with 3 weeks.

Hi Tiger, I found it hard to believe that a Christian woman would tell me this and I did question her for about 15 minutes and she bought so many things. $400 blender from Costco. $300 chair from Big Lots and return it because it's color was slightly off. All true. I don't know about the government settlement, personally I think she was lying about them telling her she couldn't spend it on anyone but herself and she must keep receipts to show where she spent the money $9000. She didn't give one cent to her estranged husband or her three children and none of her friends. I have never asked for money and would never. But she knew this.

I agree. If I didn't know her I would find it hard to believe.

Yes, my best friend. Money means nothing to her even if she has none, or is flush with it. She just comes up with inventive ways to feed her addiction. A few years ago she found extreme couponing. Luckily she has on going yard sales, otherwise she'd have a very nice item hoarding situation. The best thing about it is if I ever need to shop for anything, I take a shopping bag and go to her house. I mean anything. I once went to her house and found a brand new coffin in her living room. If the apocalypse happens, my family and I will be comfortable there. Another funny thing is that she doesn't keep track of her money. She regularly misplaces money. I could go to her house now, drag her from the house, go to a movie, with nothing but the clothes on her back. She WILL have enough money in her pockets or in the bottom of her purse to pay for the movie and all the snacks. Over the 30+ years of friendship we've done this multiple times

I like shopping, but doesn't it bore people to just walk around and look at plastic people wearing clothes through windows?
