Shopping and Freebies!!!!

by Mir Bear-Johnson (SL Avatar Mir Benelli)
So, I think I may have developed a bit of a shopping addiction in SL.
I suppose I could have worse addictions, but still. I'm pretty sure
the fact that there are so many darn freebie shops around just makes
my habit worse. Because if you're buying outfits for free or for only
1$L it really doesn't seem like much, at least, until you open up your
inventory and wonder what the hell you could possibly need that much
stuff for.

But I guess all of my obsessive type shopping does have a purpose. I
can give useful advice and suggestions on where to shop now.

And given my new shopping hobby I suppose it's understandable how much
I avoid spending my $L. Which has a lot to do with the fact that I
don't actually want to spend any real money in SL if I can help it.
Not because I don't think it's safe or something -- It's way too
widespread not to be safe. But mostly because I'm a working girl and
prefer to spend my money in the real world, not the virtual one.

Sorry for the baby rant. Anyways, where was I? Ah right, me being
unwilling to spend very much for things. Before I knew better, of
course, I spent too much on too little. But I've learned since then.

So one thing to keep in mind is, if you're new to SL, there are a lot
of places that will offer really nice deals to people 4 weeks 'old' or
younger so get on that!
