do you like shopping?

shopping - i think shopping is a bad habit.
women should stop this habit as fast as they can do.
shopping can break family financial balance.
so shopping should be stop.
i think it is better for charity if we have more money.

Yes I like but I prefer shopping things for me not just food,but with this economy we are lucky if we can go shopping to eat, so buying vanities is not on my plans right now, we are living in a time that we have to think three time before to spend the money in superfluous expenditure.

Yup i agree with ROsa26, shopping is not always shopping for vanity. Shopping for consumbale items is also called shoping by definition. With the current economy, it is really necessary to spend wisely.

I like shopping but I do it with plan. I just don't buy something that I was not intending to unless it is really something that I have been searching for a long time. I know how to discipline myself when it comes to shopping.

good habit. i think by planning we cant control our income balance in family. if we make plan first, we can take the most important for us. we will not waste our time and our money.

Nope, I don't like to shop at all. I only do it because I have to. Gotta feed and cloth the family, after all! LOL

I am a woman, and I rarely shopping, I probably shopping, once a year, for the needs of the feast of Eid. Everyday I am just shopping for the needs of cooking, and even then not every day. I do not have much money for shopping at the mall, or just buy the clothes.

Shopping doesn't always needed to be in the mall. You can try you local market and you might find some alternative that you can use like accesories and clothes. Though, I think you really are good in budgeting.

I think it's natural for women to like shopping. Doing it too much and spending too much money on this hobby isn't good. I like to shop! Whenever I go to the supermarket or the mall, I see many things i would like to buy, luckily, i can control myself from overspending. All i do to prevent spending money is saying to myself that i really don't need that item and i can always find another one like it someday. I like to buy clothes and shoes, just like many other women! Keep in mind the budget. Deciding on the amount of money we can spend at most at a time is important!

I think that shopping has become very interesting over the past few years. The fact that you can virtually do all your shopping online now makes for a very exciting experience. I love shopping online and this is the way I purchase everything I need. There's no doubt that we are living in very difficult times and my finances aren't up to scratch so to speak so I have to watch every penny that I spend and keep a record of all expenditure. I make sure that I stick to my budget and by doing this I protect myself from getting into debt and I don't have money worries as a result. I don't have a partner and so all spending is my own. I think when you have a little extra that you can spend it's nice to buy something new and treat yourself. Shopping just makes you feel good inside. Andrew

Grocery shopping is weekly always has been. I can enjoy doing it when I add something new to try or get items for a new recipe I found. I LOVE shopping for clothes for smaller children and babies. Their clothes are so cute and its just a special time to be able to purchase clothes for childen. And there are 2 times a year I love to specially go shopping. Its the semi-annual sale after Christmas and I believe after Mothers Day at Victorias Secret and Bath and Body shops. You can purchase lotions, body butters, body sprays and many other items at such low prices you can walk out spending only 50.00 and the retail prices from that purchase can equal up to over 100.00 if not for these sales. And sometimes you find an old favorite fragrance you love that they put out just for sales like this.

I love shopping! I'm a self confessed shoppaholic, though I know my limitations. I only shop according to my budget. Most of the time I buy things for myself not just the basic commodities.I save extra money out of my salary for my shopping spree.

No I hate shopping. I can't stand shops where I have to ask for prices, I can't stand people working at shops who keep following me and asking me if I am able to find what I am looking for, I can't stand crowds in stop who step on my feet, bump into me. I don't like to stay for hours in long rows. I seldom find what I have in mind so I mosty stay at the doorstep look into the shop, see it's not there and leave. I don't like to grab in big baskets etc to find something really cheap. I get extremely tired of this all, acutally I am already tired out if I think of going over to the shops. My health is not good enough so it's hard for me to carry all that stuff as well and I don't like to fit clothes or shoes either. If I tried one pair of shoes I really need and they don't fit I go home. So I go to the shops as less as possible, prefer without kids or only one to help my carry everything and after that I am too broke even to cook or take the stuff into the cupboards. Nothing makes me want to go to the supermarket. I prefer not to eat at all above going to the shops and buying something.

I like window shopping. You don't really need to buy something but you can fit them. When you have the money, buy the once that you like the most. Shppoing need not to be expensive, you just need to know your alternatives and know where to buy them at a lower price. Make sure to watch out for sales as you can save a lot on that. Important for the future? Well, it depends, if you shop for items that are good investments then it is something that you can make use in the future but if you are shopping just to have something new then I don't think it does somethign to your future.

Shopping is a kind of addiction that if it isn't controlled will be drowned into. hmmm... I am not a shopaholic, as a matter of fact, I hate going to the shopping mall, but then, when I saw something that I want, I really have to get it!LOLS!
