How many times a week you go for shopping? Do you always buy anything? Is there any instance you went shopping and returned empty-handed,for some reason, without buying anything?

I will not go into a store unless I know for sure that I will at least leave wih a shirt or something. I think it is a waste of my time and disrespectful to the salespersons to himhaw around messing everything just to leave empty handed.

I seldom come back empty-handed.First, my target is usually certain and i will not spend too much time on shopping. Second, it is not too difficulte for me to dicide if i will but the items or not.I am not person in persuit for perfection. Sometimes ,the item is very expensive but is really what i like,i would visit several shops ,just like limcygain .Now i've taken a fancy to do shopping on Internet.

i am the one who is responsible for most of the shopping at home right from grocceries to durable products. So i move to the market almost daily and would normally be completing my purchase before returning back but if i am purchasing some expensive items then i need to visit a number of shops for getting the best price available for the product. In that case i might be back without the actual purchase. Sometimes i might be moving to malls just for window shopping.

I don't go shopping very often, only like once a month or something but I don't remember coming back empty-handed. Usually I would have target and I know where to get my stuff. I seldom fail *laughs*.

Yes, I might return empty handed if I could not find whatever it was I wanted. I would frequently return without buying anything should the hardware store not have the item my husband sent me to get.

I almost always leave empty-handed. It's not that I'm a bargain shopper; I'm just extremely picky. If I don't see a piece of clothing that looks perfect for me, I won't get it. I want to make sure I only buy items that I'm going to wear. It's extremely frustrating because I'll spend 6 hours shopping and not getting anything. I don't really enjoy shopping at all - it's having new clothes that I enjoy. :] So it gets kind of frustrating because on many shopping trips I end up with nothing to take home. It's good too, because I don't end up spending money unnecessarily.
