I’m Primark obsessed – I spent £1k during one eight-hour shopping trip and stuffed my car with 18 bags full of clothes
A WOMAN has revealed she is so obsessed with Primark that she can spend almost £1000 on any one shopping trip.
Fruzsi Holub, 36, from Lausanne in Switzerland said the high street shop has had a special place in her heart since 2006 after she moved to Ireland.
The fashion lover, who works in hospitality in the beauty industry said Pennys was the first shop she saw on her trip to Ireland and admitted that it was like ‘love at first sight’.
Due to now living permanently in Switzerland, Fruzsi can only visit her favourite shop twice-a-year and recently made her biggest shopping trip yet to Primark in France.
She filled her car boot with 18 full Primark bags - with jeans, trousers, shirts, dresses, duvets and shoes and spent €1000 (£899) after an epic eight-hour shopping trip.
She said: “Primark has occupied a special place in my heart since 2006. That’s when I moved to Ireland briefly. I remember Penneys was the first shop I saw and it was love at first sight.
“Primark is more than just shopping for me. My mother taught me how important appearance is and the warmth of home. She also loved Primark!
“The most I have spent is nearly €1000 and that was 18 shopping bags. I can’t wait to wear my new chic boots and my classic white shirt which I have been looking for so many years.”
Fruzsi believes Primark is more than ‘just shopping’ to her as she believes it represents the importance of appearance.
She has only happy memories of her Primark shopping trips - explaining that her sister and mum are also big Primark fans.
While Fruszi joked that her dad usually comes along too - but to help with the shopping bags.
She said: “I love the quality of Primark’s clothes and they have such a wide size range - it’s great!
“Whenever I get to visit the store, I find all the staff so helpful and their kindness, customer service and problem solving ability is amazing.
“I try to pick up my wardrobe basics from Primark and I also love its’ home section; with duvets, blankets and pretty decor.
“It makes my home cosy and cute!”
Fruzsi and her family love Primark so much that they once spent eight hours in a Dublin store.
And on another shopping occasion, they left the Primark Lyon store in France with four suitcases full of new purchases.
The shopaholic said she is only able to visit the store twice-a-year so she is always keen to use the shopping time to buy wardrobe essentials as well as extra fashion bargains.
She said: “Primark is a sense of life and let’s not forget that Primark has the softest blankets in the world!
“We went by car most recently to Dijon as it’s only two-and-a-half hours from Lausanne. I left Primark with 18 bags as I always find special pieces!
“Covid didn’t affect our shopping trip. There were plenty of walkways available in the store and we only had to queue for 20 minutes at the checkout.’
Revealing her latest Primark shopping haul, Fruzsi said she picked up new jeans, shirts and lingerie as well as a new duvet.
She also picked up new pyjamas, shoes and boots - showing off her latest purchases in a Facebook group.
She added: “I always have favourite things after I shop in Primark and now I can’t wait to wear them!
“I have a lot of lovely memories of the shop, my sister is also a big fan and my wonderful dad has no choice but to assist us.
“On holidays and birthdays we like to give each other experiences like going on trips together. - so we always pick a destination connected to Primark.
“I will never forget our birthday shopping trip - we spent 8 hours in a Dublin store and then one time in Lyon, we went into Primark empty-handed and came home with four luggage suitcases!”
Fruzsi recently shared her huge Primark shopping trip on Facebook and was shocked to see the post instantly went viral - however she believes everyone loves Primark and described the shopping community as ‘one big family’.
Her snap of her car boot filled with shopping bags raked up nearly 1,500 likes and hundreds of comments from fellow Primark shopping fans.
