Do you like to go for shopping alone?

I almost always go shopping on my own. I tend to shop pretty rapidly and don't linger in stores for very long, so I get really annoyed at people who spend 20 minutes in a store and still come out with nothing. I never push anyone to buy anything and I'll only offer an opinion if they ask for it. And if they ask for an opinion, I'll give my honest opinion whether they like it or not. My friends know that if they want a frank, and often very blunt, opinion that I'm the person to go to. If they just want to be flattered and told they look nice no matter what, they always go somewhere else. :) Don't get me wrong. I'll tell them it looks amazing if it does, but I'll never just mince my words.

hi there daliaj...I prefert og o shopping alone.. I am not the type who decides very slow..but when it comes to shopping..it takes forever for me to decide... I try on about 20 clothes and buy only one and it takes a great deal of thinking over and over before I pull mt credit card out of my wallet... I am very stingy! and i don't want anybody to come with me coz he might die of boredom.

Sometimes I like to shop on my own. I like to shop online too. It makes it easier when I do not want to use gas or make a trip. I can also find some better deals online too.

Hi daliaj, I prefer shopping alone. It gives me a chance to look at price tags as well. Actually, I do have friends who are very well off. When I go with them, I feel I end up buying something that they decide is nice because they go to shops of higher class. There are many things there as well that I dont think warrant such high price tag, and I dont think they would suit me. But they end up suggesting them for me as they know my financial background. Invariably I end up with something that doesnt fit my budget, something that I dont like, and something that doesnt suit me while they continue to shop some costlier stuff for themselves. I return pretty unsatisfied with my shopping. Double jeopardy, neither the merchandise, nor the money! :( When I go alone, I walk around, I select, I take my own time and may find something that I genuinely like. Even if I dont, I at least have the satisfaction of having bought my second or third or even 10th preference. But buying something I wouldnt give a second look to doesnt make me very happy. The day before, however, I went for shopping and while I was pulling out the pieces that I liked, one stranger was looking on. I thought she was amused that I felt I could get into those thin attires, but a little later, all the pieces that I had pulled out and left with or without trial, she picked them, and went to the cash counter. Right then, even I reached cash counter, and she said, u have an excellent selection! That was a huge compliment from a stranger - that too a lady!

I like doing anything and everything alone, including shopping. I love shopping.

It's great to shop alone because it's another way to have "me time" and basically doing things for yourself. Although, when I shop alone, I'm more prone to buy things I really don't need so I suppose it benefits the business but as a consumer it's hurting my wallet. However, I do agree that it sucks when someone tries to force you to buy something, especially a friend. I generally ask my friends for their opinions on something, but the final decision is mine. Maybe you could just say say "Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather not buy it," to your hostel mate? Well, best of luck :)

No I don't have such kind of friend or hostel mate such as yours. And if ever I do have, I would say she has not right to dictate on me. I think I have my own decision and I know what I like and what I don't. I don't need dictators when it comes to things I buy for myself. Yes, I do appreciate suggestions and weigh them intelligently but in the end it is I who should decide and not somebody else. I also love to shop alone. I am a very meticulous person and I do shop heavily so I don't want companions when I shop so that nobody will get tire or bored while waiting for me.

I prefer to go shopping with someone, normally one of my kids. If I take the whole family, it tends to become more frustrating for me because they al want things and I end up forgetting half of what I went to get. Ideally, I will take one or two kids with me and my husband will stay home with the kids that didn't go. This way, I get to shop, I get some time with whatever kid(s) go with me, and he is able to spend time with the otyher kid(s). He hates shopping, so he gets out of it, and I am able to get the things that I set out to get without too much interrruption.

i like to go shopping alone so i can shop everywhere and compare prices at different stores without worrying. I am worried if i am with someone with me going someone because i might having a longer time for shopping and they might feel bored and tired hopping to another store.

I usualy shopping alone, cause i go to supermarket just to buy some needs for my fam. So i need fast time to get the things. But if i'm shopping for my kids needs,such to buy their clothes or shoes, i bring them. Happy mylotting :)

hi daliaj, i love shopping so much, and i want to do it more often. of course if i do have the budget on me.. well i want to shop all by my own, because i want to spend more time in shopping.. if i am with someone, maybe he/she can't dare to stay in the mall on a very long hour of the day.. well, girls are girls.. they love spending more time in shopping and i am one of this girls.. i also hate people who force me to buy this thing even if i don't like that thing she likes.. gosh, that really irritates me a lot.. janebeth,

Yeah sometimes i also go for shopping alone and i hate being compelled to buy things by anyone cause the things they compel us to buy may not suit us..i have a friend peter who is a talkative and whenever we go for shopping he dont stop his mouth..just speaking in unnecessary things telling me to buy this buy that and so on..so i like to shop alone...

I love to shop with my husband and toddler and I also, enjoy shopping on my own., I think that if the person you're shoppin with is good fun and doesn't impose on you, like your roomate, then shopping together can be great fun. Two heads are often better than one and an honest opinion can prevent you from buying something that you may later regret.

I don't like shopping alone. It's being a though time to choose what to buy when you don't have people suggest what to buy what pattern to be choose.I always shopping with my wife. She always give opinion what to choose then I don't have to headache when choosing what to buy. So for daliaj I hope you happy shopping and enjoys... cheers...

I love to shop by myself. Being able to shop at my own pace and look at what I like to look at. I don't mind shopping with other people if it is just for fun and browsing and such, but if I really need to buy something like for a special occasion or something, I prefer to do that alone so that I can think and decide, and try it on in private if need be. I need to just concentrate on myself if I am seriously looking for something. I consider shopping with friends and family more like looking. If I see something I like great, but I am not taking the shopping seriously, instead I am just being with that person or those people.

I bery rarely go shopping with another person. It doesn't matter what I am shopping for I just like looking around by myself. The only exception is when it comes to buying electronics. Here i will usually ask my brother to tag along just because he keeps much better tabs on what is better than what and if the little extras they all say are so wonderful are really worth the extra money. Having someone with you for the everyday stuff just make the chore more complicated and take at least three times as long.

Shopping alone? hmm, nope, I have the worst problem in resisting (or self control), as long as I see something nice, I want to buy it right away... That's why God created wives to do shopping or accompany men in shopping I guess...

yes, sometimes i like to go shopping alone. especially if i'm in a hurry, i don't bring anyone to shop with me. but most of the time, i go shopping with my friends and siblings. i like to get other people's opinions about certain garments but i will not be talked into buying something that i don't like. i don't have a friend who compels me to buy something. my friends just give their ideas/opinions but they never dictate me what to buy and what not to buy.

I MUCH prefer shopping alone. A girl I worked with persuaded me to let her come shopping with me but I warned her I wanted to look for a book in a secondhand shop. When I was there, she just stood there tutting and sighing and saying she was bored. I like to window shop, like you, and take my time over choosing things.

It depends. If it is groceries, then my significant other would be coming with me, but most things I like to shop for on my own so I can spend enough time without someone nagging me.
