Every weekend, I go shopping downtown with a friend, but it is more of a hobby than anything else

aɪ ˈjuːʒʊəli teɪk ə ˈlɪt(ə)l kæʃ, bʌt aɪ ˈɔːlsəʊ hæv ə ˈkrɛdɪt kɑːd ɪn keɪs aɪ niːd tuː ʧɑːʤ ˈsʌmθɪŋ.

I usually take a little cash, but I also have a credit card in case I need to charge something

I just make sure I don't go into too much debt spending money I really don't have

I mainly visit department and clothing store to check out the latest fashions

ɪf aɪ faɪnd ˈsʌmθɪŋ ɒn seɪl æt ən ʌnˈbiːtəbl praɪs, aɪ  ˈsʌmtaɪmz baɪ ɪt.

If I find something on sale at an unbeatable price, I sometimes buy it.

aɪ meɪk ʃʊə tuː kiːp ðə rɪˈsiːt ɪn keɪs aɪ hæv tuː rɪˈtɜːn ði ˈaɪtəm. 

I make sure to keep the receipt in case I have to return the item

wɒt ðə stɔːr ɪz ˈsɛlɪŋ. 

I really enjoy walking along the storefronts and gazing into the windows to see what the store is selling.

At other times, I like looking at the displayS in stores or strolling through shopping centers

Sometimes, something like a shirt or jeans catches my eye, but I'm not a compulsive shopper, so I never buy the first thing I see

ˈmɛni taɪmz, aɪ kʌm həʊm wɪˈðaʊt ˈbaɪɪŋ ə θɪŋ.

Many times, I come home without buying a thing
