ABSTRACT

Kaela: How did you learn about shopping and how to shop, and where do you think your ideas about shopping come from?

Sarah: Probably a lot from my mother [chuckles], to be honest. Probably a lot to do with when I moved out when I was really young, when I was 17, and I had to learn really early how to manage my money at a low-paying job before I went back to school. Right? So I think a lot of it had to do with my money management as well. Can I afford to buy clothing and pay for rent and buy my groceries and still be healthy and happy, right? And . . . also my mother also taught me a lot about food and being healthy, and I think that’s probably why I don’t feel bad about spending money on food.
