Hi Chaitra!
I consider myself spend thrift in case of shopping, therefore, instead of shopping at a mall (where it is always expensive to buy anything) I go to retain shop for my shopping. I feel 'money saved is money earned'.

Hi Deepak, I dont think all things are expensive in malls.. actually groceries are cheaper in mall than in retail shops but ofcourse I agree that few things like clothes, toys and home decors are costly in malls but for groceries and vegetables malls are best place as I observed..

I shop at individual or retail shops.
They do have the original price and best clearance sale and the foremost they have the fixed price, therefore u don't have to bargain.
But in malls, the price will be heavy , though they have wide range of collections, they would pose a very heavy price and we have to bargain much and if we find any damage after purchasing it, we have to do a lot of talk before they agree for an exchange.

Hi gunagohan, Thanks for sharing.. but I dont think all the things in malls are expensive and you need to bargain on them.. There are many things like groceries and vegetables which are less in price with some offers during festive season and in malls like big bazaar you can get a good discount on the groceries purchase.. but I agree that clothes and few other things are costly in malls..

Yeah, vegetables and fruits along with other things are cheaper here.
But that Bazaar is not near my house, so travelling costs would fill the costs of purchasing near my house.
Anyway these things are very affordable in malls, even i would look at the prices in newspapers and compare it with the shops present in the locals !!
Nice topic !!

Dear friend,
I do not have any particular place to shop. I do shop where I could get good quality products that suits my economy or budget. But I do like those ambience in malls and other facilities that are provided along with shopping. If any shop I get discounts I may tend to shop again in the same place. I feel malls usually give branded products and in retails shops do lack it but still they do have.

Hi Chaitra,
It depends on the demand. If we need a quick or emergency purchase we may get the same from near by retail shop. Otherwise my hubby prefers to buy things from the departmental store where they are providing the things less than the labeled price and the goods are also best in quality. I think in malls everything is very costly. Once or twice I visited malls and I understood that malls are for not for us. (But I love to display in malls just for watching). In this place there are two kinds of markets. VIP markets for rich people where cost is very high and you can get the same product in a cheap rate from a common market.

Hi Sree,
Thanks for sharing dear.. I was not aware of the VIP markets LOL.. I would chose the common market rather than that VIP market so that I can get the same product with proper price..

It depends on waht im looking for. I do like going to the mall when i go shopping for myself and then there are a couple stores i can go shopping at when looking for my boyfriend. I do like going to Ross, Tj Maxx, Kohls and Marshalls when im looking for name brand jeans because i find thenm to be to expensive at the retail store in the mall. I like to find express jeans at those places for cheap for my boyfriend because its the only jeans he likes and going to spend 70 dollars on one pair is to much for me so i like to hunt and find then at discount stores.
I also find great deals on a lot at TJ MAxx and those stores. Its the best thing to go to these places before even heading into the mall.

Well, I guess I would have to say Wal-Mart. They tend to have the best buys in town and the largest selecton. With their every day low price it is hard not to shop there.
Overall they have expanded here and have become a "Super Wal-Mart". So basically you can one stop shop for all your groceries and anything else you need.
