× In my book, I think that everyone loves shopping is one of the best ways for anybody to unwind.

✓ In my opinion, I think that shopping is one of the best ways for anybody to unwind.

The original sentence has a sentence structure error because 'everyone loves shopping is one of the best ways' is incorrect. The phrase 'everyone loves shopping' cannot be the subject of 'is one of the best ways'. The correct structure is to say 'shopping is one of the best ways'. Also, 'In my book' is an informal phrase; 'In my opinion' is more appropriate here.

× When you shop, yes I do.

✓ Yes, I do when I shop.

The sentence 'When you shop, yes I do.' is awkward and incorrectly uses 'you' when the speaker is referring to themselves. It should be 'Yes, I do when I shop.' to correctly reflect the subject.

× Money doesn't grow on trees and I still live on a budget so if I don't think about it I would break the bank.

✓ Money doesn't grow on trees and I still live on a budget, so if I don't think about it, I will break the bank.

The conditional sentence uses 'would' incorrectly in a real conditional context. Since the condition is real and possible, 'will' should be used instead of 'would'.

× I always find it difficult for me to make a decision about what I should buy.

✓ I always find it difficult to make a decision about what I should buy.

The phrase 'difficult for me to' is redundant because 'I find it difficult to' already indicates the subject. Removing 'for me' makes the sentence clearer and grammatically correct.

× I have to wait up the pros and cons to make up my mind about what would I buy.

✓ I have to weigh the pros and cons to make up my mind about what I would buy.

The phrase 'wait up the pros and cons' is incorrect. The correct expression is 'weigh the pros and cons'. Also, in indirect questions, the word order should be 'what I would buy' not 'what would I buy'.

× There are a lot of expensive items just because of their brands.

✓ There are a lot of expensive items just because of their brand names.

'Brands' is a noun, but 'brand names' is more precise when referring to the names that make items expensive. This improves clarity.

× I still can find affordable items with friendly budget which are really good.

✓ I can still find affordable items within a friendly budget which are really good.

The phrase 'with friendly budget' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'within' when referring to staying inside a budget. Also, 'friendly budget' is informal; however, it is kept here as per original meaning.
