Have you ever gone shopping and bought nothing?

Welcome to myLot, Dawnwalking. I go shopping frequently without buying anything. I like to take my son to the mall and just explore things together. It is easier to not buy things when he is with me because he is in a phase where he wants 'help me pay' and not all cashiers find it as adorable as I do.

I shop all the time and never buy a thing. If I didn't like something I would never buy it- that is just plain silly. I go shopping (window shopping) sometimes just to get ideas for the holidays or birthdays or just to relax. Thanks

No, I find it a waste of time to go shopping and return home empty handed. Even if I go and find nothing I am looking for I will always get something so I feel that my efforts wern't completley wasted.

There are times and times when I am alone and bored so I just go to the mall and look around. I have no intention of buying anything, just to while away the time and be amongst people. However, I am sorely tempted to buy things and have to have all my will power to stop. Actually, going to the malls or supermarkets to while away the time is good, but mostly you end up picking up things you dont need.

Never! I like shopping but if I didn't find anything I like or need to buy why buy anything at all just so I don't go back home empty handed? That's ridiculous. A trip to the mall could also be fun just by walking around (good exercise) or get some snack that's not available in your pantry or fridge. I am not in for wasting away money for something I just felt like buying.

No, not really. I don't like to waste money on things that I most probably don't need. But on the other hand I sometimes end up walking around and simply stumbling across something that I don't really need but that I feel like buying. There are a lot of times when I look at online shops but never end up buying something. It might have something to do with the lack of money but I usually end up finding stuff that I simply want to buy o I have a little list after very time of looking around for things I might be interested in.

I have shopped before and bought nothing. I did the other day when I went to the mall. My daughter needs new snow pants and winter boots. I happened to be near the mall, so I stopped to see what a few stores had. They had some nice stuff, but I knew I could get what I needed cheaper at another store. So, I didn’t buy anything.

I have done that. It's shocking for me to go somewhere and not buy anything. Usually if I do go shopping it's for price comparison purposes or to see what kinds of products are actually on the market. Then I'll leave the store without buying anything and then see how cheap I can get those items online.

I go shopping a lot and not buy anything. I do not have a lot of money lately. I just like getting out and walking and sometimes because of weather I have a hard time walking outside. So I go to a mall and walk.

i love window shopping.. it helps me to discover great finds.. if i already have the budget for shopping then it would be easier for me to locate the products i wanted to buy for myself since i already know what and where to buy.. =)

I have had wasted shopping trips where I go shopping and cannot find anything that I am interested in. I just cannot find anything that appeals. I cannot find anything that I really want and cannot make up my mind. I hate trips like that. I get mad. Like today, we went to another city to look for a dress that the store near us didn't have in my grandaugther's size. They didn't have it either,so that was a wasted trip as there was nothing else that we would do but that dress.

I have gone shopping plenty of times and come back with absoulty nothing. If I can't find what I'm looking for I normally will not buy anything.

it's tempting to buy so more power to all of you who can window shop and not spend anything. Im usually buying stuff for my kids I think that's why it is soo hard to go and not get anything, LOL

Hello dawnwalking I like shopping very much. But sometimes I can went home with nothing. If I just want to go window shopping, then I will bought nothing. Just look around can make me comfortable, see a new thing and think about that again, i really need that or not. God bless you and thank you *pa_lom4

I would never buy anything that I don't want and also do not like staying in the department store for a long time just to buy something. As soon as I get tired I'll just try to buy it another day. Most of the time I do window shopping when I go home to work. I'm in the morning shift now so I do it almost everyday. When I find something that I like for my daughter for myself then I buy it if I don't then I just enjoy myself or just go home.

Hello There. Welcome to mylot! Yup! I did that many times. I don't buy unless I really like the product. I don't like buying things that I don't like or doesn't have any use for me. Thanks for the time. Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Hello Online shopping can be nice and so can buying things on ebay . Usually , when out I will find something most of the time . Just even if it is something little . My fiance will always tease me about when we shop for books at a thrift store i always find some and he never can LOL.

Yea i've totally done that before. I went to the mall one time with a $100 gift certificate and couldn't make up my mind what i wanted to buy. So i shopped around and found all sorts of stuff i wanted but i was looking for something that i absolutely needed. Especially when i got the chance to get something i needed for free since i had the gift certificate.

usually when going to the mall, my kids are with me, so most of the time, even if i dont want to buy anything, we come home with things i bought for my kids...

it is a habit of mine. one just really call me a shopper . i just go around shops and check whether something new in market have come up some times i find still i don't buy it i don't like to spent money because i don't have any
