Todd: So, Rebecca, talking about shopping, is shopping something you enjoy doing?

Rebecca: Yes, when I'm in the mood for it. Definitely.

Todd: So I guess when you talk about shopping, we talk about clothes shopping, mainly right, so how often do you go clothes shopping?

Rebecca: Not very often. Maybe once every three months. It depends on my money. If I have the money.

Todd: Do you usually follow the fashions? Try to stay hip, and you know?

Rebecca: No, because sometimes the fashions aren't comfortable. I prefer comfortable clothing.

Todd: So are you a bargain shopper?

Rebecca: I try to be but if there is something that I really, really like, I will save up and buy it.

Todd: For example what is something you saved up to buy?

Rebecca: I saved up to buy a really nice black jacket and I've had that now for two years so it was definitely a good purchase.

Todd: And you bought this in Australia?

Rebecca: Yeah, it wasn't during the sale, so.

Todd: So how much did it cost?

Rebecca: I think it was about two hundred dollars, three hundred dollars. Yeah, so it was quite expensive for me.

Todd: Wow, that is a lot.

Rebecca: Mm.

Todd: Have you ever bought any clothes online?

Rebecca: No, I haven't but my friends have and my friends have bought shoes and dresses and tops and, yeah, they really love shopping online.

Todd: Now, they have no problems? Everything is OK?

Rebecca: Everything is OK. They haven't had any problems at all.

Todd: So how come you don't shop online?

Rebecca: I think I prefer the contact with sales people and seeing dresses and clothes and trying them on. You never know if they're going to fit or not.

Todd: Right. Right.
