Portuguese term or phrase: banho de loja
Um clipe dos momentos que viveu com a amiga passa por sua cabeça indo da situação mais recente - a briga - passando pelas festas e diversão juntas, os banhos de loja, o helicóptero para São Paulo, a bagaceira na laje do dia que o antecedeu até a ida para o trabalho no metrô lotado.

Explanation:
I think this is a close idea to what "banho de loja" means.
However, I'm not sure "banho de loja" necessarily involves spending a lot of money as "shopping spree" does.

I hope it helps.
