52 Hilarious Tweets About Shopping That Are Worth Every Penny

While baseball is known as America’s pastime, this fine country has another one, too: making enemies by engaging in competitive eBay bidding wars for items that you don’t need. The stamina, strategy and precision required for this ultimately worthless skill are honed over time, and though your talents improve, a lesson is never learned — which is why your prized possession is a poorly-taxidermied squirrel or some other rare treasure junk that you’ve convinced yourself was a steal. 

So whether you’re just learning the art of the bid or have purchased so many items from Temu that your apartment is a constant fire risk, the following tweets make one thing crystal clear: We’ve all decided to ignore the “economy” — whatever that is — and keep buying little treats. 

Is this sustainable? No, but nothing is. That’s the beauty of America, baby!
