Shoppingholic

Shoppingholic combines with shopping and holic. Shopping means the activity of going to shops to buy things, and holic is a suffix of word which means you are addicted to something. For example, " workholic" means you are a person who likes to wrok very much.  A person who can not stop the habit of drinking too much alcohol means "alcohloic". Apparently, shoppingholic is a person who can not stop the habit of buying things.

There is one person who is shoppingholic in family, and we couldn't stop this kind of bad habit of him. He likes to buy things, especially when he goes to the traditional market, he always shops lots of  things and takes them home. Therefore, there are lots of stuff in my house. You are very easy to find three or four pots or bottles or knives or even lots of the same kind of vegetables or noodles. To be honest, it quite annoys to us. However, he is senior and a bit stubborn, so it is very difficult for us to change his habit and for him to quit this habit, too.

Because of this example, I always remind myself of not to be shoppingholic. Sometimes I do the same thing for buying clothing, cosmetic or even shoes. Everytime, when I clean up my room I always find lots of redundant stuff. I think I have to face and improve it seriously.
