What time of the day you usually shop?

hi daliaj, yeah, some shopper feel more convenient to shop at any time they are on the moods and if they have immediate need to purchases. Almost all office workers do their shopping after work hours is done and thus it would only be the time for them to stroll around the mall, besides from grocery shopping they would also visit their favorites food court to eat then do window shopping at the same time. Well, that is also a good schedules as you could really do your shopping when your mind is not tired and not into rushing to mix with the crowds. thanks

hi irene, Well,i myself shop twice a month where i already have a list of all the items which i like to purchases, Then it also calculate the estimated cost so that my money would be enough to buy all the basic need and the rest goes to the unimportant needs. Sometimes, I go to the mall not to shop but to go for window shopping then have to find a store where I could buy the cheaper item and when the end of every month or every 15th or 30th of the month when i already have the money. I would buy all the item which I like. Well,in your cases you are right the scheduled time you select every afternoon of Saturday is also a good time to shop then every Friday afternoon i also see a lot of shoppers doing their shopping after their office works is finish. thanks..

hi margieanneart, Yup, some people really set no shopping tome and they go as long as they are on the mood. Then,all have their own plan before deciding to shop so that when they reach the shopping mall they already have the ideas which item to buy and they would never need to think as they may purchase the worn item, especially if their are a lot of crowds then the surrounding is noisy one could not concentrate to find what is needed as the attention shift to other items in display. Then,before you already finish your purchases their a lot of queuing which could be annoying then have to mix with a lot of noisy crowds who are also rushing to finish their shopping.thanks..

hi silverglint, Yeah, most of the people who are employed have the same reply and I understand they are busy during the weekdays and have no time to shop. They could only buy during weekdays as it is their off from their jobs. Just like you do I shop most of the times buying basic needs which is necessary for consumption for the next week food stock, like purchasing fresh meat, vegetables and fruits. In terms of buying clothes I do shop in the surplus store for casual clothes which I normally wear in informal days while expensive clothing I buy twice a month depending on the need if i am going to use it on a party or in an office gathering. thanks

hi cbjones, lol..that is very funny and i think your parents would never do it to you. Anyway, you are condition to shop during evening as you may find it more cooler to shop after you already have taken your rest on the morning and afternoon. As some are busy during morning and have no time to shop. Well, you been good to your parents and they would give you what you ask for as long as they could afford it. You still have neck i presume as if none then you would never able to do mylotting. just kidding. Anyway enjoy shopping and don't eat much. thanks.

hi solared, well..I wait for that..Yup that is better with night shopping especially if you shop 2 hours before the closing most likely their are less crowds and it would not bother you to shop late if you only purchases little item. thanks

regardless of small items or big items, i will tend to shop at night, as it's much more cooler.. lol =D And though things might be more messy, but it's the joy of shopping, and to pass time, when one has got no other place to go, and yet dun wanna be home early.. hehe

yeah..much cooler and also it's the time you already finish your chores... and that may also be time you meet with friends... well, if you do it in the morning you could also be expose to the sun before going to the mall... as for me whatever time I am free and I am always on the go and morning shop is my choice if I am really vying to buy a certain targeted item before others shoppers get it I like to be the first one to get it....

hi kun, yeah, shopping time would depend on each individual preferences as in your case it is only the available time you are free. late shopping is nice if you are not on the rush and if you only purchase small item would not really feel pressure... me too and I do shop when it is truly need even during rush hours as i have no choice...

ya i think all busy person this time to shopping. and it also a relaxing time for next week.

Yeah,and this is the time where they could go to visit their favorites shopping mall, then have their family becomes complete by attending the amusement rides or gaming section in the mall and entertain themselves. Then, afterward have to dine in a well known restaurant or buy the groceries, children needs and other item which is necessary to make one home a good things to return after a hard days work. thanks

hi rucrazy, yup, same with me I have plenty of time to do my shopping every weekend and I stay even for more than 10 hours as I do my shopping, eating on the foodcourt at the same time watching the latest movies in town. That the best way to unwind and relax after a weekday work.thanks

hi wizzywig, Yeah,most employees also shop at the hours after work or during lunch for item which they badly needed and would do the same thins which you mention. Early morning is the best time to shop, especially if you are eyeing a dress then would like to be the first one to get or avail of sale which is a good things as you could save a lot.

hi opal, Yeah, that is the most convenient time for me and I do all my purchases every weekend of the basic needs which are consumable for almost two weeks. After my shopping is over I hurriedly go home where i could arrange all the items i purchase then have to cook after all have eaten. Then, it is now the time for me to take a nap in my room. Thus, it is my practices that i could have time pamper myself and relax my body after a period of working every weekdays. Then, on the next day my other purposes in going to the mall is not only for the sake of shopping at the same time have to visit my favorite beauty salon to have my hair trim or have a feet massage. Well, in your case that is a good things to plan ahead your schedule shopping and since you do it once a month. It could mean a lot of saving especially in terms of transportation fare. That is a good techniques which one purchases complete at one time only.

Hey Neelianoscet! You are right! But with me it has so happened that I often overdo shopping even I don't have the money. I may do it on credit, and then I have to kind of really really slog it out to make up for the bills. But yeah you can say I never do so much of overshopping, so as to go completely bankrupt. I quit and take a break whenever my current credit outstanding reaches $200 to $250.

hi arnica, if that's the case then you are a certified shopcoholic... I rarely, uses credit card as it is very pricey... one need to pay the monthly dues accumulated or if you fail their would be additional penalty...

hi arnica, Well, shopping time is dependent on your free time and whatever time you find it convenient. being shopcoholic is not a sin especially if you never over do it and just buy the things which you needed. Thus, you may choose either morning, afternoon or evening as long as you assure yourself have enough money just to make sense.it within yourself then it would be alright.thanks

hi keola, well, it is also good to shop at noon if you are been busy during morning and afternoon as it may be the only time you are free from your working schedules. Yeah, those stores you mention are good choice and they have been like a one stop shop as almost of the item you need to purchases could be find on those stores. Some prefer to shop during morning especially during weekends like Saturday or Sunday where their is no work as one could roam in the shopping mall doing a lot of things not just buying of groceries. thanks..

yes misterwit...really!

hi ckyera, Well...that is the right time as you mention before lunch and you could have more freedom to choose where their are lesser shoppers the aisle is not yet crowded..thus you could select well and never felt annoy with less noise.. When I am in Manila too have to go to the market earlier as the fresh veggies, fish and meats are usually found in the morning you could be assure that is still fresh quality... and you could also bought those things a t a reduce price.. unlike in the shopping mall where the price is fixed... hi misterwit, glad to see you again...

yes, in Manila i guess mornings is the best time to go to the market...but from where i am now, i guess its afternoon...haha coz more fish is delivered in the market at noontime & they are more fresh... well, public market is always better when it comes to freshness & prices for we can always ask for a discount to the vendors specially when we are already their regular buyers... but with groceries, i still go to supermarkets...

hi downwindz, yeah, that is the better way to avoid the queuing and with less distraction from fellow buyers. Well, you could always buy what you like especially if you are not on the rush such as sort of short item and that great you use a bicycle for shorted distance it may be possible. It is also a good things as your BF is always on your side to help you, especially in buying heavy item you really need a man to assist you such as he would need to carry heavy things for you. thanks again..

hi downwindz, wow..you're such a lucky gal.. your boyfriend is really a great help... yeah, that the right attitude girl... you need to identify your need so that when you come to the store, all you have to do is to pick up the item which you badly needed and that saves a time... have a great day!

He will certainly carry all the heavy items for me, as we earlier concluded his a lovely gentleman. But he prefeers i know what i need for shopping so it doesnt take ages, and then when i go myself it is easier spending the time going through the whole shop and also get an idea of which items i need, or which could be interesting to use in the future. I happens about once a week i dont know what to cook for dinner, and then i go through the supermarket until something appeals me.

really never hit a real long line as we have enough cashiers to take care of it all. Just hope some arent on break lol

hi lakota, It is nice to shop around when their are less crowd and in your case you go shopping anytime as long as you feel not busy or without an appointment. You could do shopping even with a lot of crowd as it would not matter as long as you are patience even waiting on long lines. thanks.

well..that is good for you..as what I observe here in my place, when I do my shopping before lunch their are only few cashier on duty as some are busy eating their lunch and have only few shifts to take their place. Thus,it result in queuing most of the times.

hi ladysurvivor, That really nice as you could shop together with your husband and he could help you carry all those shopping bags. Shopping could be done anytime of the day as long as you feel comfortable in doing it as long as your working schedules is not affected. Although, morning shopping is the best when done during morning to avoid the rush hours. thanks for sharing.

hi kathy, That is a good things having to combine worship with the same day you do your own shopping. It is like a having two important purposes done at the same day. As nothing beat having done your bible study before shopping as it is more important than all the other task. So it is a wonderful things that most of your sis and bro in the same faith as you find the grocery store feel convenient to do their own shopping. Though, you could extend some chatting with your friends without neglect with your own faith. whew, that is fast and for almost 30 minutes you already finish your shopping and those times is also the off peak hours where most stores have to close after 10 pm. thanks

I don't have very much to buy since I live alone and since I'm living on a budget. I get there just before 8:30 and I'm out of there before they close at 9:00. Kathy.

hi flower21, yup, shopping could be done anytime you are free and the time you could feel at the right moods to shop. it is better than to force yourself to do the shopping when one is not at a right frame of mind then shopping could not be a pleasurable experiences. thanks.

hi acie, well that means you are a certified shopcoholic and you enjoy doing it. Though, you ma come to the mall to purchase the things you need not just doing window shopping as for me i get tired doing it and get envy if i have no money to buy something. Though, it is a good things to stroll along the different unit stores as you could compare the branded to the cheaper item at hand and do a lot of research to the prices of the item you likely plan to buy. have a nice day!thanks for sharing.

heheheh!yeah thats true i get envy sometimes... but now that im married..im focusing more in saving money for the future crisis.. and even though i stroll to malls and likes something.. i already know how to control and spending money wisely.. im kinda thrifty..hehehe! so its ok to window shopping...what i liked in malls.. is eating!heheheheh! thanks!friend!

Well, other too have the same ideas as anyway it does not matter as long as you have the ideas which item to buy to avoid confusion in going to the mall as having list of your needs you have a tendency to by them all without forgetting other item. then the listing could also help on getting the things you need and finish your shopping as quick as possible to avoid ramming with the busy crowds..
