I went to Yokohama for shopping.
今日は横浜まで買い物に行ってきた。

It was because many stores started working today.
今日が初売りだからだ。

I would like to buy cloths for work, but I couldn't buy.
会社へ着ていく服が欲しかったけど、中々手が出ない。

The price was high for me, even if the price was lower than usual.
セールで安くはなっているけど、それでもまだ高い。

I wonder if I wasn't married, I would buy a lot.
独身時代なら買っただろうけどなぁ。

However, I bought two pants and a shoes.
それでも、パンツを2つと靴を一足かった。

I felt good when I bought something.
買い物するとなんだか気持ちがいいなぁ。

Thanks a lot.
The expression of "didn't manage to" is very useful for me!

We use it a lot. For example 'I wanted to go to the gym today, but I didn't (quite) manage to'. I say this a lot ^^

Hi, nice post! Your English is very good - much better than my Japanese. I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future.

Yokohama always has the best shopping. There are many good and affordable places, I think.
Still, it's always hard to balance personal wants and family needs, isn't it?

Yes. That's true.
