I don't enjoy clothes shopping but i do love shopping for shoes & boots

I don't mind shopping, but it's the long queues that you have to wait in that get me, especially when you are only buying one small item, and the person in front has 10 times that. Would be nice also if the streets were a little less packed leaving some walking space for the rest of us, but considering it's Xmas that is very unlikely!

I just plain hate shopping too, with a passion

I don't like shopping, except maybe to a nice bookstore-shopping for myself.

Just wear your Unie LC, keeping a snarl on your face, with your hand on your gun! You'll see how easy shopping can be! :p

longer the line, more time to learn the whole history of someone in line near ya.:wah:



when i am in a good mood,i love shopping...............

I loathe shopping. Its my personal phobia. I become overwhelmed in huge stores. That is why I try to stick to smaller stores. I never go to stores to " Look at stuff" That is totally unenjoyable for me. ( Except anything artistic)

I go shopping when I need something. But then that probably is because I have never been able to spend money with wild abandon.

totally depends on the shop! If you ask me to go to Primark then I might have a fit and go into a fear induced coma - however I do love going into shops like Jimmy Choo or a Gina Bocconi, because they're lovely and clean, and well set out! Plus there's only ever about 3 other people in the shop!

I have to go to WalMart twice a month for cheap prices on nursing suplies, I go at 7 when the door opens, so I am out of there fast. Other wise, it is hell with shopping carts.

Oh too right, and boy do they talk about everything and anything. I had to put up with some lady and seemingly her whole life too date, whilst trying to buy one item.

I read the National Enquirer healines and stuff when in line, I want a good laugh while waiting!

I like shopping - but I would like more if I could buy the things I like..

Let me explain: when I go for clothes shopping, i take a look to the price before telling: yes, I like it.

If the price is high - and believe me, there are unbelievable prices - I just say: no, it doesn't match me...



Moreover, it is quite impossible to find clothing for women of my age!

There are only very slim and short tee-shirts, low waistline pants, and similar..



what about you?

an exception...i like bookstores.

anything over an hour of any kind of shopping I start to go loopy! :yh_silly :wah:

I do all mine on line now..

I hate shopping. I hate the crowds. I hate the lines.

Hate it to, spending $ stresses me out :wah:

The Walmart in my town smells like something is dead. Lowes has vaulted ceilings like your in an airplane hanger.... makes you feel like an ant. Cosco thinks we are buying supplies for a bomb shelter. 16 tubes of toothpaste. 36 cans of chicken noodle soup. 50 pounds of cherries. 86 boneless chicken breasts to a package. I am growing to love Big Lots. Its fun to find an item or two that is 1/3 the price somewhere else. I get a big charge out of getting ammonia for 89 cents that is 1.49 elsewhere. I also love TJ Max.

well for one thing, guys DON'T shop.

we buy. our experiences at the mall is incredibly limited. for all intents and purposes, we hunt.

we know what we are after, where it is, how to get to it, and roughly how long it'll take to get it.

we formulate a battle plan before heading out.

for most women, shopping is hunting.......

No shopping here.



I enter

I purchase

I exit

Kinda like my sex. Thats for you buttercup. :wah:

yeah, but they're "bargain" hunting. they'll spend the shole freaking day looking for the best deal.

guys don't do that.

we already know where the best deal is BEFORE we go out.

You have just given a great reason to cut down my drinking. But what do you do while you fish, drink water? Thats just wierd.

Oh god I hate that too, or people that use a £20 note, when they are buying something for a pound. Little things like that really irritate me for some reason hahaha.

I used to love shopping...now it's a pain...ESPECIALLY Wal-Mart...I dread going there, but convenient and less expensive than grocery store... I'm trying my best to stay away from the mall this next month....

Shopping is fun if you have the money...otherwise very painful, why would one put themselves through that?
