Shopaholic






Bargain Hunting

If you are bargain hunting you are going to different stores looking for sales on the items that you want. Many people will check the ads in the newspapers and on the internet to find which stores are having sales.

“My mom and dad love to go bargain hunting the day after Christmas when everything is cheap.”

Pay Retail

If you “pay retail” for an item of clothing this means that you pay full price. The stores that sell clothing are called retail stores.

“Instead of finding bargains and sales he always pays retail. He must be rich.”

To Return

If you buy an article of clothing, or pretty much anything that you’d find in a store for that matter, you have the option of bringing the item back to the store for your money back. This is called a “return”. People return clothing because it doesn’t fit, it is damaged or they just don’t like it. The clothing needs to be still new (no stains or wear and tear) and you need to have a receipt to get your money back.

“I bought a flashy looking shirt at the mall the other day. When I got home I decided I didn’t like it. I ended up returning it.”

Store Credit

When a customer brings back an item, but does not have a receipt, he may receive “store credit” from the store. This means the person has credit towards buying another item in the store that equals or is less than the price of what he returned. No money is given back to the customer. His only option is to spend the credit at that location.

“I wanted to return those jeans I got from The Gap. Since I lost the receipt I could only get store credit. It’s a good thing I like The Gap! ”

To Exchange

If a customer buys an article of clothing and later decides he needs a different size he can “exchange” (or trade in) the item for the desired size. There is not a money transaction involved in this. The store simply gives the customer the size he needs and puts the returned item back on the shelf to be sold again.

“Go home and let your son try on the shoes. If it turns out they are too small you can come back and exchange them for a bigger size.”

Gift Card

At most major stores you can buy a card that has money on it towards a future purchase there. People will give these cards to others as a present. They come in handy if you know a person who you are buying a gift for likes a specific store, but you don’t know exactly what to buy him.

“Since I don’t know what she likes I’m just going to get her a gift card so she can decide herself.”

Shopaholic

This is a person who is addicted to shopping. He or she receives a “high” or a “rush” from finding and buying a new item.

“His wife is a shopaholic. All she does is shop and spend all of their money.”
