Yeah, I prefer shopping alone, going to the shops I like, taking my own sweet time. If I'm with friends, they might not have similar likings, and I often worry about others waiting for me, so I will rush and most probably won't be able to buy anything.

I like shopping alone. Gives me time to really think about what i really want. this or that. It also gives me the sense of freedom. Haven't been able to shop these past few weeks because of limited budget :( Oh well... Thats Life. :D

while a lot of women enjoy shopping with someone,i on the other hand,is the opposite..i cant think clear when im with somebody specially my husband.he's just annoying to be with.so i prefer being alone because that for me is my "me time", my therapy when im stressed.

I like shopping alone too. It gives me more freedom to go to any shop I want to go to without somebody telling me to go to other shop first. Shopping alone also saves me time cause I don't need to worry about going with someone to her favorite store. The only downside about shopping alone is you eat alone come lunch time and it's kind of awkward and boring to sit there and eat lunch all by yourself.

I like shopping alone. I tried to join my sisters, but ended up with separating to respective focuses. And the different preference and acceptance even for one subject might lead to waste of time, if not bad feelings. The company of my husband is even a bigger torture for both of us. I like to wander about, while he rushes directly to the deal. I heard most couples have similar problems. So better we go separate to enjoy ourselves.

It really depends on who is accompany mewhile shopping. Usually a man would rather stay home to watch DVD than go shopping with women. Notice! the wife, but not girlfriend. I mean once Mr. Right finds Mrs. Right and get married, perhaps keeping passion for the same things just like what they ever enjoyed together before marriage is a little bit difficult. So sometimes I guess when the girl turns into your wife legally, you should pay more attention to your relationship than before. Different types of persons have various shopping habits. The nature he or she was born with, the circumstance he or she grew up with, the education he or she attain and etc are respectively playing important roles in building up shopping habits as well as other habits people take with them. One thing we've all experienced unavoidably is to impulse-buy something proved not needed afterward. It's interestingly a must-make mistake to everyone, not only women but also men.

I like to shop alone, in fact, i enjoy it more than shopping with hubby or a friend or relative, because i can take the time i want to, go where i want, etc. the only inconvenience, is that i have nobody to help with the shopping bags! LOL

Hi, lingzi! Yes, I do like shopping alone. I like to be in peace alone. I can shop much better and faster. When my kids are with me, they will grab things and put into the buggy. They will wander throughout the store. And they will put stuff inside the buggy that I did not ask for. They are in the way.. And if my hubbie comes alone then he is ready to go. He hates waiting on me to shop! MEN!

wow!! I do too.. I love to shop alone. I don;t want to have somebody with me who keeps on bugging me to go home because he/she is tired? sometimes keeps on suggesting the item to buy immediately so that we will not stay longer in the shopping malls.. Oh!! it drives me nuts.. I want to be alone and I can spend the whole with nothing to worry about somebody complaining why I can't decide immediately of what to buy? hahahaha that's me.. it takes hours for me to select the item I want to buy.

hello lingzi Do you like shopping alone? about the only time that i do not mind to go shopping alone is if that i happen to be grocery shopping. otherwise, if i plan on going shopping at the mall or to several different stores around town, like wal-mart, targer, k-mart, hobby lobby or wherever like that, then i like to go shopping with one of my friend's or even one of my family members. lol i just do not like to go to the mall or to go shopping by myself. you have nobody to talk to when that you go shopping by yourself like that. i enjoy being in somebody's company. and i also do not like to go out to see a movie or to eat by myself. lol i have before in the past went shopping alone to purchase a gift or something but haven't stayed very long at all when that i have ever went alone. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

I have yet to find shopping by myself enjoyable. Honestly, I think it's because I always want a second opinion that isn't from a sales associate who will probably try and talk me into everything. I like having a friend there to talk to while I shop because it makes the time pass by at an almost alarming rate and it's a good way to catch up when we haven't talked in a while.

It's better to go alone. Men are not good shoppers, and worse companions at shops. Remember this lesson.

When I first read you topic for this discussion I thought I was alone in that I don't like to shop at all. I can never find any thing that I like and I never know what I want as far as clothes go. I don't like to shop with any one. Besides for some reason having someone shop with me seems to give me permission to spend money I wouldn't other wise. Now if it''s grocery shopping that i can do alone because being alone gives me time to really do a better job than if some one is with me.

I love to shop alone with no one with me. I can take my time to look at things, I don't have to deal with other people going, ok are you done, can we go now, etc. Only problem I don't get to do it a lot. Now even sometimes when I'm by myself shopping, I don't get to enjoy it. My hubby will call me and ask when I'm coming home, that I have been gone over an hour. That sort of thing that takes all the joy out of going out by myself.

You are quite wrong. All women do NOT like shopping. I don't like shopping. I also don't like people who start a post then don't acknowledge or comment to their responders. It's ignorant.
