Do you really enjoy the shopping or is it something to do.You can leave the kids behind with someone and clear off for the day,have lunch and pick somewhere to eat without other peoples kids ,actually finish your lunch and enjoy some time to yourself.Or even better go with a friend. Try stuff on you are never going to buy,try the all the testers on the perfume counter,have a free makeover at the cosmetic counter.Or do you hate it and only go when you have to no pleasure at all.Me I like to go when there is something I need rather for the hell of it,I avoid taking my teenage son at all costs or he gets what he wants and clears off home,being seen with me is not the thing,just in case we meet someone he knows.

Never take a young man shopping if you really want to shop. i have my grandson take me to buy groceries and if i don't tell him everything I need to get he gets rather impatient. He doesn't like to shop and likes to know ahead of time how long it should take. I take him to carry the groceries and for the company. I really don't care to go shopping for clothes. I really don't care much about clothes but like to just be comfortable and will wear the same dresses for a very long time. i have about 6 or seven dresses that i wear when I need to dress up. I am into tees and jeans. I don't do the make up thing either.

I love shopping! whether it is just going in grabbing what I want and getting out. I love going to the Boxing day sales. that is my favorite shopping day of the year. When i go shopping I drive about 2 hours to get to the good stores. I live in a small town, There are more restaurants than there are stores, So i have to leave town to get the good places to shop.

I really like and enjoy shopping! I prefer to go alone than go with my sister and my mom. I do also doesnt like to hang out with friends just to buy something that i really want to purchase just because i was tempted to buy new stuff that i saw in magazine of in internet fashion website. It doesnt mean i dont like to hang out with people to buy something, i just feel uneasy with them...
If i go with my sister n my mom, they may not take into detail what they buy, and after few minutes, if they think they dont like the stuff, they just go to another section. If me, i still want to have a look, and i can spend for hours just to look at the design and think how it looks like if i match with this skirt, or skinny or whatever... and i hate that they would go to another section and leave me alone like that, makes me difficult to look them after. My friends also the same... or i may think so different than them??? I just want to enjoy to have a look and my eyes will look at the details, until i think i should go because there's nothing nice...
feeling that my choice may not good in the eyes of other will difficult for me. I hate if i touch a blouse just because the fabric is nice and the model is not, my friend will say, "ah,its not nice... You should choose the other one!"
What? Did i say i choose this? Do you think that i dont have sense how to dress? My gosh... i do know how to choose best outfit for me, and my friends always asking if i buy new stuff... where did u buy, how much... etc... etc...
its only look nice in me... (who knows that it was sale???)...
That is the reason why i love shopping, but be ALONE!...
let me alone, i have my own mind, my brain, and know how to choose..
at least i have thick bucks in my wallet, so i wanna spend them to new shoes and dress...

I hate shopping. Especially for clothes. Drives me wiggy. Now if it's books, you can't get me out of that store with a crowbar. When I shop, I take great pride in being in and out in minutes. When you're getting clothes, they all have to be tried on and it turns into hours.
I like going uptown just to sit in a coffee shop, or Hardee's, and write. No home distractions (like housecleaning), watch the people and come up with stories on what they're like and about.

Hi. I like shopping but only if I do it by myself or with my girlfriend. It's a good time for relax and talk. Of course shopping is sometimes very difficult activity to do so then is no relax. It often takes place when we go shopping with people who like doing wonders for others (I hate shopping with my parents!). In fact, I enjoy shopping but not in each case:)
Nice discussion:) Regards.

Oh I hate shopping. I don't go unless I know exactly what I'm getting, I get it and get out. Even the grocery store, I don't like it at all...

I swear I could be a professional shopper. Often on my lunch break at work I run to Walmart or Dollar General and pick up things. I never get sick of it. I could spend all day trying on clothes and shoes and still want to go again the next day. If I had the money I would. I love buying new things for my boyfriend as well. Shopping is one thing I will never get sick of.

I really dislike shopping. I don't like doing it with the family or by myself. I think especially when I have something important to buy I research it first so that when I go to the store I know exactly what I want and don't waste my time trying to decide between various products. The sales people aren't always very helpful either as many are looking to sell the most expensive.

Yeah, i enjoy shopping.. I used to be an impulsive buyer but when i moved out from my parents house and had my own place, i've learned how to be practical.. now, i know how to prioritize things.. my top priority: rent, food, groceries, medicines. shopping for clothes is my least priority..

I love to go shopping and buy thigs even which I dont need. But lately I cannot do that due to my financial situation so I have just to stick with only what I really need to buy, which means few clothes and only bare essentials.

Well I have no kids to worry about so that doesn't really bothers me as much as you did. But yes I like shopping very much. If there is one thing I like doing then that is shopping or groceries. I even like even just window shopping. For me it's some relaxation. I never felt tired when I do shopping no matter what I did before that. It seems my theraphy.

For me shopping is just something I have to do.I really have no organized way to do it .For me its just a "in and out operation " ,without mucg frill and fanfare.I suppose men shpo differently from women who normally have to go for bargains and move from store to store testing wares and trying out different kinds of stuff like a hobby .Me the instant I find what I am looking for adn the price seems reasonable,I just go for that item.

Yes I do enjoy shopping. I always shop alone before but then I realized that it's so boring when you dont have someone to talk to while shopping. You dont have someone to suggest what is good for you and would take care of your belongings while inside the fitting room.
Now, I always bring with me my bestfriend when going to shop. I can now totally enjoy shopping at the same time bonding with my bestfriend.
Our favorite section were bags, jeans, accessories, and cosmetics. Almost females we saw were really enjoying.

I really hate shopping, especially if I'm shopping for my family. I'm a miser and it always takes me forever to get my shopping done because I take a long time to compare prices. I'm always worried that I'm spending too much money.
