Hi Amyson,
When my late husband was still with us, both of us did grocery shopping every weekend. We also loved to go around the mall, especially in the hardware section, and looked for things that we needed for the house or the car. He loved to tinker on the car as he knew about mechanical and electrical aspects of it. As a family, we had good bonding moments having lunch in a restaurant at the mall or at his sister's house. When shopping for anything, we both went together.

We both help each other carry our purchased groceries. What I most enjoyed was the eating portion after we shop for groceries, lol.

Because my wife does a full-time job in the city, I often do the shopping during the week when I can organize my time because I work at home. Then on weekends, we can do something we want to do together without worrying about having to go out to the stores to get shopping in. - Derek

Hi amyson,
We are going for shopping once in a month together. Since the bad weather is going on, one will stay at home with kids and most of the time my hubby is going out for getting things. It is difficult to cope with the bad weather so going out with kids is not feasible especially when they are on bad health. If the day is pleasant then we can spend sometime together with family or going for a shopping etc.

In most of the cases I go shopping alone. It's because I don't like someone to tell what to buy. I'm buying what I want and I stay in the market as long as I want :) Sometimes shopping takes me about 40 minutes :) I look at the stuff there and I think which is better to buy. Usually people can't go shopping with me.

First of all nice image you have uploaded amyson. Yes I was shopping with my husband, till he was transferred outside. Then also, whenever he was in station, we used to shop together. I still remember buying one by one item to house like dressing table, cot, fridge etc. But now he is partially handicapped due to accident. So he is not supposed to walk on street, where the ground is not flat. So I shop alone or with my daughters.

I'm not a shopper by nature.. But if my gf wants to shop, or window shopping, i will glady do it.. haha =D Because it's woman's nature to shop, and even if they dun buy anything, it's their joy to do so.. hehe ^_^
What i dun like about shopping with my gf in the past is that, i dun get to see what i want.. If they are in a sports shop with me, and there's nothing to their liking, they will start to get impatient, causing me to lose all mood for the day..

yes we do. my wife is the one who cook and take care of that but i always make sure i accompany her when she goes shopping. we go grocery twice a month, but we still go to the malls every weekend or once a week for we bring our son there to have fun. i also wanted to eat out so my wife can have a break on thinking what to prepare for us to eat. though i am bored when she shops for clothes my wife is not that much of a clothes shopper. but she always goes there to see marked down priced item and to check around. i dont mind for my wife is a wise spender

good for you you accompany your wife other guy dont have enough patience to browse any items for example clothes if they like it the shirt they buy it unlike girls browsing different clothes and decided what to buy.but that is good you spent quality time to your wife and your son.

My husband and I generally do all the shopping together. Grocery shopping to clothes shopping. It's something we like together. We like to make the agreements together and it works out that we do get to spend time together more that way. He works odd hours, and I am a stay at home mom. So that small time at the stores is our time together.

HI! I have no wife, but have a girlfriend and we are together from 4 year, so I think she count already like wife . Well, me and she, we are shop together every Saturday, when we have a day-off! We go to the supermarket and buy everything we need for the weekend! Sometimes we also buy things for Monday, because we don't have much free time to go to th supermarket again! Well, we have a local store, but there the things are a little bit more expensive and I buy only bread from it

if you were together it just fine as long you and your girlfriend happy too.just enjoying each other company and plan to get married soonest you can.yes nearest store are usually sale things double the prize in the original prize from the store and ite good to buy groceries once in a week and make a list of things that you needed to buy to that it wont be difficult to forget the things that you need to buy.

I hate shopping with my husband. All he doe is follow me around and when I ask him what he thinks about something then he tells me he dont know. He always asks me if I'm ready to go yet.

i see guys like that they dont really like shopping when they see an item they buy it and they dont go to another place to browse different clothes or things if they like it they buy it they dont have the patience to browse every store to look for cheaper or nice sale unlike woman they love shopping.

sometimes i like shopping alone,because I can stay how long i like and look all around i want.and buy what i like.
often we go to shop or outside together at weekend,that is to say,we usually go to shop once a week,but sometimes we will go shopping in the middle of the weekend,just for relex.

shopping is relaxing you can see beautiful scenery too inside the malls that is why kids also enjoy and having fun inside the mall.my husband sometimes go there to window shop and since the amll is cool place to stay for a while we like sitting there and watching other people come in the mall.were talking about anything else its time for us to bond since it is very stressful at work and we need to unwind too.

I do grocery shopping once a week. Everything else is 'as needed'. My husband doesn't usually come with me. He's not fond of shopping...

It's nice going to the mall with family, but sometimes its also costly. We usually do this during birthdays or for bonding purposes. When i go to grocery and shopping for clothes and other personal needs i prefer to be alone. This would give me freedom to choose what i like without arguments.

well,not yet married but i observe my mom are the one who do the shopping most of the time while my father is often stay at the car or at the home. he does not have patience to stroll around the shopping mall if he like to buy something he pay it immediately then go home. they are likely opposite of my mom as he does not like to haggle or to browse longer in many item in display. my father like to decide and buy quickly as possible.

My girlfriend and I have actually not gone shopping together yet, but I am sure we will sometime in the future because it seems like every girl likes shopping.
