1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not? I'm not much for shopping, but I like buying. That is to say I don't like just going out to stores to look. I like to go to stores and know full well that if I see anything I want I'm going to get it.
2. What was the last thing you purchased? X2: X-men United. Blockbuster is running this great deal where if you trade-in a DVD that they can resell as used you can buy a new copy of most new releases for $12.99. I traded in my copy of X-men since I had purchased X-men 1.5 to get X2.
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? I do like shopping online. I like searching through E-bay looking for things. I also like searching through Fight DIVX for good DVD deals. I also browse through CDNow and Amazon, which is the same company now, but do to a bad experience I won't buy from them. Living out in the boonies shopping online is a necessity.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it? I got allowance as far back as I can remember. I think it started in the $3-5 range in the mid 70's and was as much as $20 buy the time I was in High School. I was a latch key kid so my sister and I had to do the majority of work around the house.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing? I can't think of anything right now. I tend to make well informed purchases and since it takes 45 minutes to get to the nearest mall I am not prone to just go out buy and something impulsively. I did buy a Bissel "Green Machine" carpet/floor cleaner on the recommendation of the service guy at a vaccum cleaner shop a few years ago and have never been happy with it. I'm going to have to buy another Bissel upright steam cleaner since the "green machine" does not clean carpeting as well as I need it to.
