I do less window shopping. But my friend does more window shopping. Whenever he gets bored in the evenings, he goes out to shopping centers and has a look at things available. He just does window shopping and gets back.
But i think there is an advantage as well in doing that. He gets to know what product is available in a shop and what is the latest product in market and the sort of details which helps him when he requires to buy something.
Do you think so that window shopping is a great & useful idea to spend time?

When you are broke, the best thing to do is go to malls and do window shopping. That is the best way to be in the crowd, enjoy the atmosphere and yet not spend a penny. Besides, as you say, best way to get to know products. I love window shopping myself.

Hi sivanj,
Yes i agree that window shopping is very good idea.With that you can confare all the items and the price if you need to buy it in the future.
The problem w/ me is i cannnot window shopping.Even i dont intend to buy things if i go to the shop i dont go home w/out something in my hands.I think its an habit.If i like something i cant wait to buy it, so i never go to the shop w/out money in the pocket.Window shopping is very bad for me!.I cant stand beautiful things..Hahaha...Thats make me poor..
Have a nice day and greetings from che!

I go window shopping when I can these days its more about trying to get by with the cost of food and gas and electricity going up up up and away.

Yes, but I try to limit it to at least once or twice a month. I wish that my boyfriend and his father knew what window shopping was. They buy anything that they see. It is ridiculous. They see it, and they all of the sudden buy it. And they say that we women buy a lot of things. I beg to differ.

I never go window shopping. We live out in the country and gas is too expensive to go to stores just to window shop. I do window shop online at stores though. I look for things to buy or things that I would like to have. That only costs me my time. I hate to go to stores shopping anyway. I like to order online and have it delivered.

well, for me yes it is a great idea. i also love window shopping because it will that it will help you make yourself a bit fit by just walking around the mall ., remember ... "walking is the best exercise" do you believe in that.,??? lol! and i do find stuffs like if its on sale or what and the latest trends in our country .,Ü but the bad thing is ., the more you see the products or the items ir anything you want ., the more you tend to buy it ., and of course the big deal is you spend more in buying those wanted items., lol!

No, I think it is a waste of time and money. wasting gas to drive somewhere just to look around and leave home with nothing. Also there are so many better uses of my time then that.

I refuse to go to the mall or shopping center unless I have spendable cash. I love to shop (even if I don't make a purchase). But, just in case I see a good sale, I want to be able to participate oppose to wishing/window shopping.

oh yes... i love window shopping... i like to browse inside a shop even though i ended up buying nothing... i don't think we have to anyway especially when we don't have money... so i just have to be content by looking... i already feel happy and relaxed just by doing window shopping... take care and have a nice day...
