Hi Kelly,

This sentence could be summarised as: It is becoming more and more usual for people to go shopping and spend a lot of money on one occasion (go on a spending spree) using their credit catd and not worrying how they can pay the money back for it.

Burst is a sudden explosion.

Hope this helps.

Alan
