Do you like to shop?

I must be the only female in the world that can't shop. In fact, I hate shopping. Stuff for my house, I can buy. Clothes, forget it. I was in desperate need of new clothes a while back and took $1000 to the mall. 9 hours later I came home. My boyfriend at the time asked me what I got. My answer? A pop, I got thirsty. Came home with $998. My mom used to take me shopping once a month and after I spent $100 she would take me to dinner. So I headed straight for the Levi's, after all, it only takes about 3 pair to be $100. Well, she was on to me. No jeans allowed!! After about 6 months of me taking so long that by the time I was done, all the restaurants were closed, she gave it up. Now, my best friend does all my shopping! Is there anyone else this bad?

hello dear, I'm also not into shopping, however, I have not choice but to do it. My necessities like clothes won't becoming directly to me by themselves. I also cannot ask somebody to shop for me, not even family members because I'm not sure I would like what they would buy for me. so, its really not an option for me, I had to do it ^_^

I guess it just comes down to how well someone knows you! My best friend is so completely different from me, it's like night and day! But she knows me so well, she always gets stuff I'll wear.

i CAN shop..but i HATE it lol! the only shopping i like to do is for books..and i always do that online! i absolutly despise trying on clothes..and being in those stupid little rooms to try them on! i hate all the ppl and hate wanting an item they say is on sale only to find they dont have any and have no idea when they will be getting any. i hate the whole things. BUT i would never let someone else go and choose my clothes for me! omg i couldnt even begin to imagine what i would end up with! im a very dark colors, not flashy, comfortable clothes type of girl. i dont want stripes, polka-dots or some damn pattern. i dont want pink, yellow or the "lovely shade of pale blue that brings out your eyes" LMAO! and many more for that matter. when i do break down and go shopping for clothes. i pick a armload of stuff in a couple different sizes each try all them on in one swift shot, and get the hell outta there as fast as i can! if i end up with nothing i tried on fitting..too bad.i leave until i get the gumption to make another attempt. stubborn lol.

LOL!! I am the same way! I absolutely HATE pink, red, yellow, blah blah blah. I live in jeans & (for the most part) black T-shirts. But I have no problem with my friend shopping for me. She knows EXACTLY what I will & won't wear and she has never bought something I wouldn't wear. Have to say she does a pretty damn good job!

Yes, here is somebody else who is as bad as you! I don't mind shopping for food, but I absolutely hate, hate, hate shopping for clothes or anything for the house. I have always been like this, so this is nothing new.

I hate shopping too! And I'm bad at it? Not sure though, if I'm as bad as you are. Shopping for clothes is such a drag, plus I don't like trying clothes on. We've moved into the desert where there's over 200 outlet stores. My kids go crazy there. I always wind up with a cup of coffee from Starbucks and a pretzel from the bakery next door. Oy, I really need a pair of new jeans too. Hehehee, have a wonderful weekend.

I am the world's worst grocery shopper! Would rather shoot myself in the foot than ever go again. The last time I went, I had been there for 1 1/2 hrs and my hubby called. When I told him all I had was pop & bread, he told me to give it up and come home. He's been doing the shopping ever since.

i shop but I totally dislike it. Dont get me wrogn when I say this but I hate crowds only in church and I sit by my friends. Here inJamaica, especially in Kingston crowds bring a lot to thieves and pick pockets so thats why. I will shop but certainly not until I drop. God bless.

Yes I do like shopping. I think shoppping is always good but I love the eye-shopping means I only tend to see things more rather than buying it actually.

I used to hate to shop but since I have lost a lot of weight I love it! I can't wait to go shopping now. But I have always loved to shop for my kids. It is really nice if I ever have extra cash.

I love to shop, and I'm a mean spendthrift. I'd much rather shop at the second-hand stores over malls and trendy boutiques. I only shop at a retail outlet when I have to...it just seems in the second-hand stores, I can always find clothes that fit right, jeans that are long enough for me, shoes that are comfortable and styles that suit me. Shopping for brand-new clothes is a PAIN for me. I don't know why, except I think they make clothing in such limited sizes, shapes and lengths that it's hard to find the perfect fit. And I'm not willing to spend half my monthly income on a pair of jeans! Maybe if I was rich then I could afford the luxury of perfectly fitted, brand-new clothes. THAT aspect of shopping ticks me off...but I love to find the perfect top or jeans or knick-knack at the second-hand store. I think it's a bit of a high and I get off on it!

I guess I can like shopping, if I"m not on a budget hehe but I confess that almost like you I am not very much into it. I don't have the patience to go into store after store looking for something and I actually get a headache if I"M at the mall too long. On the other hand, every once in a while it is pleasant to just go straight to what I want , buy it and be done :)

Shopping is fun! - I love to go out shopping,although I don't enjoy much when I'm alone. I prefer to shop with my daughter whose taste is better than mine...and besides, it's a great way to bond...so whenever we can, we do it once in a while....
I'm one of those who really love to shop...but I try to be more practical by buying only what I need and for my family. These days though, I have spent much on foot spa, facial cleansing, manicure, etc. I have more trips to the beauty parlor than to the malls...well, that's only these days, I don't know what's in me but I have spent a great deal of pampering myself. But there are also times that my daughter and I really feel the need to shop, minus my husband and my son 'coz they could not stand waiting for us while we go around the mall aimlessly. You see, I'm the typical female shopaholic...but don't get me wrong...I know my limits, especially in terms of budget. I guess you're not really bad...it's just a personal taste, and you're simply not a shopping fan...
