I work in HMV and when we get our sales it's manical. I enjoy the pressure of the flagship store though because I am used to working under extremely high pressure. I'm a quick shopper I tend to go to 1 - 5 different stores only and always buy my clothes there. The cheapest place is probably when I need new suit trousers either for a job or for my suit or suit shirts I'll go to Primark and get them for under £10 thats hell though. I like TK Maxx because when I go there I can generally find nice quicksilver or etnies trainers in there and get them cheap as well as occassionally finding a very nice pair of jeans to buy too. Mostly however I shop in Burtons and Uni-Qlo. As for spending your paycheck at work...tell me about it but I might be picking up guitar hero 3 legends of rock + guitar (360 edition obvs) for £19.50 once I remove my discount just gotta get one put aside for me until after the jan pay day so I have spare cash.
