오늘의 영어 표현은: to be crazy (about something)

My friend goes crazy when there is a huge sale going on at the mall and I have to admit that I do too. So we both decided to go to the mall during the weekend and shop.

주말에 백화점에서 할인 판매를 한다고 해서 저는 친구와 함께가기로 했습니다. 할인 판매만 하면 괜히 신이나거든요. The jewelry stores were having a big sale too so I decided to buy my sister a necklace from there.
I met Caroline who was also shopping for her nieces. Caroline told me why she is back in the jewelry store buying the similar necklaces for her nieces.

Jen: Wow! Really cheap?
Caroline: They were really cheap.
