I love to shop. I think the thing that I buy the most is shoes. I love shoes and I have several pair to prove it. My sister works at a place that designs really cute shoes so I have several pair at a very low price from there. What's your favorite thing to buy?

I'm the opposite of you. I hate to shop (sounds funny coming from a woman, doesn't it? LOL). But as I do the majority of the shopping my favorite thing to buy would have to be food. As food keeps us alive, I find it an important thing to buy so it is my favorite thing to buy, even when I don't want to go shopping.

I love to shop but I hate to spend money. Give me someone else's money and it would be great...lol. I love food but it's really disappointing to go grocery shopping. You pay so much for such a little bit of stuff. It's crazy. I love fruit but the prices are getting outrageous so I'm not buying them right now. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.

That is why I hate to shop, I hate spending money! LOL I agree, grocery shopping is quite expensive. I barely bought anything at the store today, yet somehow spent $60. It is ridiculous. I sure am grateful that my neighbor and I have a few different fruit tress. Within the past week I have gotten almost three bagfuls of oranges from my neighbors tree for free! How great is that? :)

That's awesome. Maybe you could send me some oranges (lol). It's winter where I live so we don't get to grow any fresh vegetables or fruits. I'm going to have to plant some fruit trees this spring. Have a great day.

I absolutely adore buying books. Whether they be new or used, there's something about knowing I'll get hours of entertainment out of the little bit of paper and glue in my hand makes me so happy. To me, there's no better smell than that of really new or really old books. I love going into a bookstore, and just browse for hours. I could go into Barnes & Nobel's with $10,000 and still come out wish I'd had just a little bit more money to buy a few more books.

I love Barnes & Nobel's. I could spend all day in a book store. I also love books and I buy the ones that are on sale all of the time. I like to buy the self teaching books and cook books. What kind of books are your favorite? Have a great day.

I love the ones on clearance, too. I'll find something I never would've read otherwise for only two bucks or something, and I'll buy it and end up loving it. I'm the same way about thrift stores. As for my favorite types of books (this is going to be a long list): Manga, history, psychology, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, biographies, parapsychology, science, classics, comedy, cyrptozoology, ufology, sociology, alternate religions, and pretty much anything else that seems interesting at the time. Guess it wasn't as long as I thought it'd be.

Closet - That's not mine..lol
I'll have to say clothes and shoes take equal ranking on this one. I love both....but my love for shoes is evident by the pairs of shoes that I have. But more than the number of clothes...the different styles is more important. I have Indian to western...to casual to formal....everything that looks good on me....skirts...pants...salwars...saris...etc!

LOL. I can get sandals for $15. They cost around $40 to $50 at JC Penny and other stores. They are very comfortable and pretty also. I like ebay. You can get some really good deals sometimes. I like jewelry also but I try to stay away from it because it could break me quickly...haha. Have a great day.

I like to shop when I am vacation and buy postcards and a costume doll for my collection. I bought a hand made couple of Masai Mara dolls in Kenya and a lovely doll made out of wood from Romania. I bought a few wooden model buildings like a house from Indonesia with a high pitched roof, a musical chalet from Switzerland and a porcelain house from Hungary. I like to collect foreign coins and in the Cook Island I bought a three dollar note and an unusual triangular coin. In my home country I don't enjoy shopping for clothes or new clothes very much. But buying house hold goods like new furniture can be quite enjoyable.

I have to admit that when it comes to shopping, I really don't enjoy going when it comes to buying stuff for myself--clothes, I mean. I am unfortunately *very* hard to fit and end up getting terribly frustrated at being unable to find anything that fits and is stylish at the same time, while not making me look like I'm trying to dress too young for my age (teeny-bopper isn't the hip term any more, is it? lol) And to make matters worse, I have fits trying to find shoes that fit too. So I dislike shoe shopping as much as I dislike clothes shopping. But. . . I absolutely adore shopping for my kids. There are just so many adorable things out there for them! I could spend hours in the kids section buying them outfits. Thankfully they're still at that great age when they're thrilled to get clothes as a gift--even ones that mom has picked out for them. :-) My other shopping downfall is craft and fabric stores. Find me a craft store having a mega-sale and I'm a happy camper! I broke down and purchased an awesome sewing machine recently and have vowed I am going to re-learn all the stuff I haven't used since middle school home ec. class and start making some clothes for the kids. Needless to say, this means I'm going to be *forced* to spend lots of time in craft and fabric stores. . . strictly stocking up on supplies, of course. Oh, the torture of it all! *wink, wink*

I'm not all that into shoes or clothes but get me near a toy store and I can get lost in there for hours. Lego sets, Playmobil, puzzles and video games suck up most of my extra money.

I love buying handbags and skin care products. Every time when I go out, and if I see some handbags or skin care products really nice, I couldn't resist but have to buy them *laughs*. Therefore, I usually end up buying a few bottles of new products and nice handbags home!

My favorite thing to buy is high heels. I feel like they are my favorite thing to buy because I am a very sexy lady and because I am short. Being short is just a thing that I inherited but high heels allow me height. So high heels are my favorite thing to buy when I go shopping.
