How do you shop?

SHOPPING. My mom and I are two totally different personalities when it comes to this. She rarely goes to the mall, and she only shops during a sale. Though it is that way, she's a winner 'cause sometimes she gets to go home with armloads of clothes, shoes and whatnot. I, on the other hand, go out on a weekly basis and look around--or walk around if I'm not in the mood--for things, specifically notebooks, fountain pens and shoes. If I like something, I save up for it and then the one day comes where I go to the mall, buy it and leave. I like to think that I shop like a man--fast, quick and easy. How about you?

hi. as for me i shop like the typical mother, i look around and compare prices. when i go to the mall which is so seldom i just look around and if i find something that would be useful in the future and if i have the money, i buy it. but mostly i do my shopping online - eBay and Multiply. and i also earn from it. i guess we're all different when it comes to shopping but im sure all of us would agree that we all enjoy doing it.

I haven't tried online shopping yet, but time is of the essence for parents, so I can see why you do that. I try to check stuff out at EBay once in a while, but I haven't tried shopping in Mutiply yet. I'll try to do that one in the future.

yeah you should sometime..but if your area is near a mall then it would be cheap to just go there. i shop at eBay and multiply since we're far from one of the shopping malls here in our province. and besides i do my shopping there whenever i want to buy things that i cant seem to find in the mall. thanks!

Hi girl! I say so we are quite similar with your mom in our shopping style. I too go out rarely for a shopping spree.What I usually do before buying any stuff is for me to go on a window shopping first, so I got sometime to compare the quality and price of the stuffs I will buy. I do have a list of these stuffs and I ranked it to priorities so that I will purchase first that which I and my family needs most. When I buy something for me I usually saved for it and when I buy it,I usually tagged it as a gift for myself, so that I feel that everything that I buy for my use is a precious thing for me since it is a fruit of my sweat and hard work. I also do this when I buy something for my kids. I love shopping stuffs for them.

I never go to the mall. I prefer second hand shops or owner-operated stores. It's better for the environment & the local economy to shop in small stores. It's also better for my budget. Designer labels, and trendy items hold no appeal for me.

As for me, I shop like a girl. lol. I look around, and around, and around...then if I find the one item that can make me say "WOW"...then I buy it.
