Don't Fear Online Shopping Sites

I have to admit it, I love shopping online for everything from shoes to jeans, and not once have I felt uneasy about the process, I actually felt quite proud at finding such a unique item or a great deal. Despite these great benefits people still avoid making purchases online.

The uneasiness in large part stems from having to give your credit card information online. The fact remains it is no more unsafe to use your credit card online than it is to use it anywhere else. The fear is that when you enter your card info you don't know where those detail end up. These are normal concerns, but really, they aren't that much different to you giving your card to a waiter at a restaurant who can just as easily steal the credit card info. Let's face it, it is never 100% safe to use your credit card anywhere.

In the end, people shouldn't let this fear deprive them of the great sales, deals and variety online shopping sites offer, many of which can be found at Salesaholics "http://www.salesaholics.com/"

Women Are Salesaholics

I often wonder what goes through the mind of women as they frantically go from store to store inside shopping centers in this self possessed euphoric state. If any male has been shopping with a women you know what I'm talking about, the endurance, fitness, patience and mental fortitude required to keep up is of Olympic caliber.

The question I and I'm sure many other males have asked themselves is why do they do this? The answer often given is simply that women love clothes shopping and of course love clothes shopping when there are sales.

I've once been told by a women that the rush and high she feels from finding the item she wanted on sale can be just as exhilarating and gratifying as any substance or sexual experience she'll ever use or have, to me this seems absurd because I'll take a nice cold beer over finding a couple of shirts on sale any day, but I'm not a women.

All this begs the question, have women always been this addicted to shopping and more importantly have they always been addicted to shopping for sales. Has the time come to categorize these women as Salesaholics, I think so.
