sometimes u live in a town where there is literally nothing to do other than taking an air-conditioned hike with some pals in your nearest shopping center and observing the flora and fauna (read: commenting on the latest shipment of stanley cup knock-offs or wicked-themed merchandise). no money is truly required except perhaps a little snack or drink in hand if u are so inclined. in such circumstances i stand by this enriching activity

You don’t have to buy a ginormous haul or really anything*, you can simply roam a grocery store and vibe. This is among mic’s and my favorite activities.
*or do just get like one thing and, to spice up the adventure, buy something new or obscure or rare

When I was in my hometown for the holidays, my sister and I were very bored and very broke. So, we started just walking into random stores and just looking around. Just lallygagging. It was actually way more fulfilling and relaxing than actually buying anything. Because we couldn't get anything, there was way less pressure and we could just enjoy looking at things. We started noticing things that normally we would pass by, driven by the purpose of a purchase.
One day, we spent like 20 minutes smelling every single candle in the candle aisle at HomeGoods. Another day, we looked at the weird silverware and cups at TJ Maxx. We also frequented Half Price Books and skimmed old Microsoft Excel books from 2009 and Child Development books.
Don't limit yourself to Target.

so many of my guy friends never have a bag on them and consequently i am frequently the one doling out hand sanitizer/gum and carrying little things for them. luv them and truly happy 2 #provide but it Would be nice if we all carried some things now and then to cover each others’ bases….nowadays i do think more people regardless of gender are bringing bags around for fashion/functionality which is a great trend keep it up ✊(also it doesn’t have to be a big bag!! i don’t like carrying around too much stuff either🙂↕️)
