It depends on what I am buying. If I am buying clothes I want to shop alone. If I am buying groceries maybe it is more fun to go with a friend. But it also depends on the time of day. In the daytime it is OK to shop with friends, but at night I prefer to shop alone or only with very close friends.

Oh, yes, if we are shopping for someone else, they should be there to help choose, unless it is a surprise gift ;-)

i want to shop alone, if it refers to my own things. But shopping for the kitchen, i want with my friends and loved ones. Because, im not just the one who loves to eat. :p

If i need a break and i want to be alone and taking all the time for myself, i shop alone but most of the time i shop with my husband and kids. It's nice to be with someone so that if ever you want to buy clothes you can ask for their comment about the style, color, etc... i value their inputs. But of course i have my own preference that they too respect.

that's what makes shopping fun being with family and friends---the dilemma of what to choose from among the choices is challenging LOL. if you're alone it's kinda boring but if you want to be alone and have a break--shopping alone is one of the greatest moments of your life.

Hi, Itzmee! I like to shop with my hubby because I like to ask his opinion and I think that's the problem, when I shop alone particularly clothes, I can't make a quick decision because I am used to ask for his opinion. However, shopping for other things, I can do it alone, but I don't like to be alone when I go somewhere.

hi itzmee...For me I really like to go shopping with someone. It could be my mom, my sisters or my husband,because by that you won't get bored and you got someone to solicit some advice on what stuff to buy.

It depends. When I want to shop for things,I'd prefer to shop on my own. I don't want others to tell me what I should or should not get for myself. But if I shop for food in the grocery or shop for clothes, I want my mother to go with me. =)

hi friend,you don't want others opinion ,it's fine.I personally feel that the person who comes with us for shopping surely will be close one(even tho not all the times ,but most often),so i respect their ideas too.But like you i also go with my choice sometimes.Thanks for the response friend

I am not at all good for shopping. So I alays go with somebody for shopping . If it is on week days I will call my friends while coming from office. It it is on a holiday either my wife or my children will help me.Een if I know what to buy or the quality of the material, I will discuss it with somebody and buy that will give more satisfaction to me

Im not fond of shopping actually, and Im not fun when Im the one they think of bringing shopping. I can walk around and follow them or help carry stuff for them but when they insist on picking outfits for me, well, Id really rather not. Its a rare occasion when Im shopping. That's almost when I need to shop cause most of my clothes are starting to get old and worn out. When I shop, Im on a mission. When I have a clear image of the things that I exactly want then I prefer to be alone. But when there are some selections that Im undecided about then Ill bring along a friend or two just to ask for a second opinion. I dont mind tagging along when friends are shopping though. I dont mind giving an honest opinion about a particular dress/shirt that they picked out. I guess it just depends on the degree of shopping. If shopping for no particular item, then I like to shop with friends, but when I know exactly what I want then I tend to shop alone.^_^

It depends. If I have a lot of money and so does the person with me then I enjoy it with someone. If I am shopping for groceries and I don't have very much money then I would rather do it alone. My daughter and both grandkids always want things and I can't always afford to buy them.

As for myself, I tend to enjoy shoping alone. Howver I do enjoying shopping with my gf and her childeren. when I am with her it makes me feel like we are a happy family. but I do like to shope alone becase that is what I am so used too. I will go to any store and get what I want or need. even when I am not buying anything, I will look around and make futue slections.

If I am shopping for gifts for my family, I like to do it alone so I can go anywhere and go back from shop to shop anytime I want. But if it just a routine shopping, like monthly grocery, I want to do it with my kid so she can practice shopping for herself and it is our bonding time. If my husband is not abroad, I always do shopping with him because he is the most patient companion.

Hi itzee1009, I usually like to shop alone. I do not want to buy something that my friends or mother like. I found that if I shop with others, then I will easily buy something that others like but not me, so I do not use it much, or even not using it. I do not need others' opinion when buying things. However, people like to shop with me, as they need my opinion and advice. Thank you for their trust. Have a nice day! agonyaunt69 (1:00am 1 Dec 2009 Hong Kong time)

For me I'd prefer to go shopping with friends so that I have someone to refer if something that I choose suit me or not. At least I know that I don't look like a clown when I will wear it. Plus my friend knew that I will not get offended when they will tell me the truth but I will just be thankful about it.
