i hate the mall and dont go there unless my youngest daughter begs me to take her , other then that i dont go, i would ratehr go to goodwill.. i was talking to my chilhood friend the other day had not talked to her in years and she told me they love to go to the mall, and since her husband , who i set her up with, has a great job they can afford it, she told me some stuff i could not believe, she said her kids there teenagers and that they will only wear clothes that come from the mall and then she said that her daughter and her own makeup foundation cost 70.00 each i would never pay that.. and i often telll my husband see if you got another women you might have to pay that for makeup, he laughed and said he would not do it.. do you spend alot on clothes and makeup ? does your clothes have to come from the mall ?

I personally believe buying things from the mall is a waste of money as people only care about brands and not quality. I go to thrift shops to buy my clothing.

I don't even remember the last time I was at the mall, it's been so long ago. If I never go again, I won't miss it. I prefer the Goodwill, too and not just because it's cheaper. They have a lot more styles and colors than retail stores and it's not unusual to come across very expensive items that I could never afford new. My daughter finally bought three new pairs of jeans, the first new jeans she's had in years. I don't remember exactly how much they cost, but it was 'way under a hundred dollars. She buys her makeup at the Dollar Store.

I don't wear makeup at all, so I don't worry about that. 70.00 is ridiculous and it probably doesn't make her look a bit better than the dollar store kind.

I get most of my tops at Walmart or Goodwill. I haven't bought jeans in a long time because the Avenue quit selling 100% cotton jeans, I get itchy in stretch jeans, probably yet another allergic reaction.

I like getting good quality expensive clothes, but I hate going to the mall. It's too much people, and annoying salesmen, waiting in line, etc. I like buying my clothes online from the same shops you'd see at the mall.

No I don't. I buy all my clothes online. For one thing I hate the malls, I hate the crowds and as a big busted woman I hate when the store clerks look at me as soon I enter with a look on their faces and say "I'm sorry we don't have anything that would fit you". I'm long past getting angry over stuff like that, but I still hate it,lolll. Malls are to pricey for me, I can get some of the same stuff at some very cool prices without the hassle of being placed under the condescending stares of the store clerks.

I prefer boutiques and small stores to going to malls. I prefer less crowded spaces and more individualized attention. I also do a bit of thrift shopping. It's fun to go on the hunt for designer wares in the "sea" that is a thrift store. I'm pretty good at finding the quality stuff, too. I haven't been thrifting in a while, though, so I need to go sharpen my skills some. However, I'm not certain if this small space can handle any more clothes. My poor boyfriend may end up losing his side of the closet.

I don't go to the mall for my clothing. I can buy my all cloths from retail stores without having to go to the mall. Mall is for people watching and leisure walking. It seem like every cloth sell in the mall is getting ridiculously expensive every passing year compare to retail store, that stop me from doing my cloth buying from the mall anymore.

hi there, i used to shop a lot at the mall but now i don't have a job. i am still looking for a job and i can't wait for the week to start. but i know better now, i don't want to spend that much money for just a shirt or make up. i would rather splurge it on a vacation with my boyfriend. we just have to be more practical.

I do go to mall but do not buy clothes from there because the clothes are at least 10% costlier than other shops who are buying the same clothes.

I buy my things only from the mall, cause i have many stores to chose from and i`m a little lazy i dont like to go in like 10 different stores in 10 different areas. In the mall i always find what i`m looking for in like 10 minutes i buy it and that`s all. I hate shopping and spending hours for finding 1 t-shirt.

No, I am not always go to mall and end up buy clothes or make up. Sometimes I just walking around try to get fresh air and hang out with my friend. It's actually depend on my budget on that time, if I have more money or really want to buy clothes I am gonna buy it..., Or maybe in the sale...,

Well, I actually lived close to the mall so yeah I tend to go there often. I love shopping and all the walking, choosing, tossing, etc it entails so its cool I'm close to the mall. And its not that I can afford to buy things but I do budget my salary and stuff. Its the experience of shopping that takes away the stress from my body. Its kinda fun thing for me to do.

I don't spend very much money on clothes at all. Most of my clothes I get as Christmas or birthday gifts, and most of my son's clothes are either gifts or were handed down from his cousin.

It was my first time again since we moved here in my province I been in a mall, when I won the raffle gift check last month. Actually this mall was the famous malls we have here in my country and here in my place it was been newly build. When we are still in the city (Manila) there are many kinds of famous and expensive malls but I rather go to bargain goods that you can buy more clothes in a small amount of money. Most of my expensive perfumes and make up's are from my friends who traveled from abroad. I rather spend my money in some important things or keep it for future use.

I do shop at the mall but not all of the time. I tend to go to Walmart which is normally a lot better. I don't like wearing used clothes never know what people have done in them even if its been washed it just doesn't seem right for me. I can get good clothes from the mall for a good price. I would never buy anything that is $70 dollars. The highest I ever paid for something at the mall to wear clothing wise is $20. I don't wear make up so I don't buy it at all. What make I do have in my house is either one from my mom that has gotten them as gifts and doesn't using it or I bought it at Walmart or something for like a $1 or more but nothing over $5 or I won't buy it when it comes to make up. I like to price shop when I need something that I've either killed from wearing it a lot or it got to small over time. But no not all of my clothes need to be from the mall.

I have no problem shopping at any mall provided I find whatever I am looking for. The only problem that I find is that most of the time especially if you go in the afternoon, the mall is congested with so many people, to avoid that I usually go in morning or just immediately after the mall is opened.
