I prefer to have company and have the second opinion when buying some items, it doesn't mean that I don't trust myself, but I always want to have second opinion. I understand about friends having to wait while fitting in some clothes, but I guess family and friends would understand that, specially if I do the same with them.

sometimes I like my mom to come with me b/c she finds some good deals. She likes to dig but sometimes I like to go alone. When I have the kids its nice to have an extra set of eyes and hands. Its quickier to just leave them with someone at home though lol.

I too like to do shopping alone.I can take my own decisions and buy an item.If i have someone with me he will give his opinion and confuse me.I can ask my doubts and get good knowledge about the product.I can also have patience to buy the product otherwise my friend will say buy fast and come.

sometimes i prefer to shop alone so that i can take my own sweet time. But at times when i want a 2nd opinion, i would like to have a friend with me.

i also prefer shopping alone because i normally go from one shop to another then return to the previous shop before buying. i don't want to worry if a companion will get tired so it is better to be alone.

When I am grocery shopping I realllyyy prefer to shop without my husband & my 14 year old son. My son literally HATES shopping. He once said "Mommy has to go up and down EVERY aisle, even if she doesn't need anything from there!" He told me specifically that I need to read the signs above each aisle before going down it to see if I need anything from there. He is an extremely particular child.

I prefer to shop with my fiance or a friend, that way we can talk about the things we are buying or looking at. Sometimes I am in doubt what to buy and then it is nice to hear a second opinion, and I generally think that it is more fun to have company when I am shopping. I don't mind shopping on my own, and sometimes I do that. The good part about shopping alone is that no one gets impatient if I want to spend a lot of time in a certain shop, but I still prefer to have company and to have someone to talk to when I am shopping.

Most of the time, I prefer shopping with company, because when I am going to buy something, I need advice from my parents or friends about the quality and the price, without them, I hardly make desicions.

I like to go shopping alone because i dont like to show anyone that their opinion is not welcome.Sometimes friends force their ideas on you and you end up shopping things you regret later.but i would definately like to have someone with me to carry the shopping bags!

as much as possible, i like to do shopping alone. if i'm alone i can take my time in choosing the item that i like best. i'm the type of person that is not contented in visiting a single store. as time will allow me i would try to look on different stores on the item that i want to buy, then from then i will select which store would have the best item at a reasonable price and that's the time i would buy. it's hard for me if i already bought the item and when i visit the next store, bingo! that's the design i've been looking for! and regretted on my first decision. if i'm not alone, i can't do this, my companion can't stand waiting 'till i arrived at a decision of buying the item.

Just really depends on my mood. I don't get much time away from my kids, so there are plenty of times i like to go alone and spend those moments just destressing. Other times, I enjoy shopping with friends, or family. There a few people who I go shopping with that we always get in trouble by our husbands because we take to long, but it's fun to have time away from everyone and just look around, even if you aren't buying.

I like shopping by myself and then going with other people after i have already decided what i want. I like going before hand because that way i can try on what I want without bothering people. I also like going with people because I like getting their comment about whatever I am looking at. I think it just matters what mood your in when your shopping.

If I'm window shopping, I don't mind being with friends. But if I'm doing serious shopping, I prefer to shop alone. As you said, I like to take my time, and not worry about others waiting for me; or me waiting for them.

I like to go out for some window shopping with my friends, eating together in our favorite place is also fun. Usually I need my friends to give an opinion about what should I buy, which color that match for me, and so on. Sometimes, I go shopping alone to make me feel free to go to one shop to another, pick something good for me. So, it is depends on my mood :D. Happy my lotting!
