In most situations like this, the long-term benefits of your generous act will outweigh the short-term pain of paying for it. Ultimately the gift will long be remembered and the cost will soon be forgotten. In most situations.......

As a female, I can easily spend 2 and 1/2 hours just debating whether to buy something or not. The rest of the time is spent driving to and from the store/stores. Of course, this was before Covid19.
That's what drove me crazy about shopping with my wife. Every item had to be handled, examined, and evaluated. Shopping for clothing was especially annoying, as I stood outside the changing room holding her pocketbook.
When I shop, I have a list, and I spend very little time in the store.

I guess we're nearly neighbors. We're in Oakland, Arkansas.

It's a hunter/gatherer phenomena. Men are hunters; they know what they want, go out, see it, bag it and are done. Women are gatherers, they pursue a range of things each of which must be assessed, measured, weighed and acquired along with anything else that may be useful. It's a process, not an end in itself.

That's what I do now too. I don't shop for clothes, especially now. I make a list of food items or must haves, then I figure out the fastest route to my destination. I'm a reasonably slow driver when on the road, but when I get in a store, I grab what I need, then I pass everyone as fast as my bum knee will let me.
