I know this might sound weird coming from a woman but i hate shopping. I hate going from store to store in the search for the perfect pants/jeans/T-shirts/shoes and whatever i may need to ware. My friends tell me i shop like a man: i go into the first store ,knowing what i want ,streight to that section look for it and if i find it i am taking it home. When go out shopping with friends i am the one smoking a cigarette outside and waiting for them.

Good for you! I think it's great that you're a woman who hates shopping, really. I'm sure you save a TON of money every year for the junk you DON'T buy. I'm so bad about spending money on useless junk the majority of the time. I used to be so good with my finances when I was in college (and didn't have too much money), but now that I'm working full time and earning the big bucks, it's like it's burning a hole in my wallet! So obviously, I wish I were more like you. I love shopping for clothes. That's definitely my favorite thing to buy right now. I must've gone through stages because I used to love to shop for makeup and things like that. At one point, I think it was toys. I'm sure. I grew out of that one, thank goodness. Now I'm really into health stuff, which is actually really good for a change. I sell a lot of really awesome health and fitness products. I end up buying everything I order pretty much since I get a distributor's discount. I really think that this way, I'm able to save a lot of money and help myself get even healthier at the same time. I guess as long as I'm spending my money on the rights things, then I don't feel as bad. Good for you, though! I'm really glad that you have the discipline that you do. Keep up the good work, my friend.

Hello again, Sandy! Thanks so much for best response. I love talking about shopping because it's something I'm very good at. (LOL) I'm so glad I came upon this discussion because it's really taught me the importance of saving my money unless I find something I NEED, not even just a want. I have to be so careful of that. You'd be very proud of me as I went to garage sales this past Saturday. I spent $12 and got 1 pair of capri pants (denim), 2 pairs of jeans, 2 denim skirts, 1 polo shirt, 1 dressy skirt, and a laptop case. I thought I did very well seeing as I took $35 cash with me and didn't even spend half of what I brought! I'm a person who lets money burn a hole in her pocket, but not since responding to this discussion. I'm going to garage sales again this Saturday, so hopefully I'll survive on the $20 cash I'm going to bring. Thanks for being a great example to me and thank you again for BR. Take care, friend.

I like to go shopping for others but I do not like to go shopping for myself. I just can't find any decent clothes that will fit me. I started a diet today and am hoping to get back down to a size where the clothes don't look like granny clothes.

Sometimes I do but other times I don't. I can not stand shopping around Christmas time b/c of how crowded the stores are but yesterday I went shopping and I had fun. I got some pretty good deals to. I got a pair of really cute shorts on sale for $19.99 which was a surprise when I checked out. I love surprises like that. I found my 2 daughters dresses for a wedding that we are going to next month and they were on sale since they were easter dresses but they are so cute and I am very happy with what I got and the deals the I racked up on.

Girl, I'm the same way! (I thought I was the only one!) I used to enjoy shopping (when I had money), but as I've gotten older, nothing fits, my bunions (on my feet) limit the shoes I can buy, and the quality has gone way down in recent years! I shop like you--like a man! I go in, buy only what I intend to and then git!

It sounds exactly weird to imagine a female smoking outsider and waiting for her female friends inside. Frankly, I can be called the person who like shopping. Because for my female friends, they can spend a whole day in shoping and searching stuffs from one store to another store. For some time, they do not really need to go shopping for something necessary. But I dislike window shopping or something like this.
I think I am much better than you in this aspect because sometimes I go to street for needy stuffs and can find much fun in it.

yes sometimes shoping is very interesting and could bring you satisfactory goods, but that take me too much times,
because i have on car ,there is a long distance between my house and the shoping block,
when you were a student you like shoping but you don't have enough money ,later when you paticipate working , you will find the time is more important than monty, you don't have too much time to go shopping

I'm not a fan of shopping either, but I do take time to decide to buy things from a store because I want to make sure that I had a great deal. I look for sale items but I see to it that it is of good quality. That's why I prefer to shop alone...I hate the idea of letting my companions waiting for me.

Personally I love to shop, I just never have enough money to buy everything I want. Sometimes I shop around sometimes I'll buy from the first place I know has what I want or need.

I'm not too keen on shopping either. In fact, I hardly ever go out to shop any more. I buy most of the stuff I need from the internet. It's delivered quickly and I don't get bored dragging around shops looking for what I want, getting cold at the same time.
Brightest Blessings.

I wouldn't say it's weird, I know someone who doesn't enjoy it as much and I have a friend - a straight guy friend - who loves to shop as much as most girls does. LOL.
Anyway, I do love to shop as long as I have the money to spend. Going to the malls without enough money and just window shopping makes me frustrated. Haha! Cheers!

Yes, I love shopping. Even grocery shopping. My husband likes shopping too. He likes to shop for me, himself and the baby though. Thats it. I love to shop for other people and it drives him crazy. He'll live.
