Well do you like company while shopping or prefer alone? And with whom you prefer going to shopping. I mostly go alone so that there is no one to stop me from buying.

Well Reploid for girls its different if we have a plan for shopping then we just cannot plan other things the same day because we do not know for how long we will be shopping. And as per a research it is said that girls like shopping alone so that she is free to choose and no one to count back her money. And again as per the reseasrch Men tend to do quick shopping and to go directly to the shop where they will find their stuffs instead of going to different stores to have a look like girls. Probably you like to go shopping alone or with others because simply you know where the only store is found to get your stuff. Instead to make other with you restless when waiting. Yeah sometimes its good like that but as I said its better to see in different stores to get the best as girls do. Happy mylotting!

Sure you're right. Going shopping with girls means you're going to spend a lot of time there doing shopping.

I usually prefer to shop alone because shopping is a stress reliever for me.. I find that when someone shops with me they add stress on me.LOL I am not sure why but I just like being alone shopping.. The only person I dont mind going with is my hubby. We always have alot of fun together

I like to go shopping with my friends at times, but normally I go alone. I tend to spend less money when I am by myself. With my friends they will say something is cute or they really like something on me and I feel like its something I have to buy. Plus going shopping is something that I just tend to do alone because it give me time to myself and to relax.

I'd like shopping with my friends, especially my goodfriends, because I feel they will give me the objective advice to me when I hesitate to choose whice shoes or clothes or pants and so on. Along to shopping is impulse, I often bought nothing when I was along.

If I have to go choose a member of my family to go shopping with then she gonna be my elder sister as she is too good to be a wonderful and genuine company. She gives many ideas. My dad..well I will go with him if I know my money is not enough and I can always persuade him to buy something for me. My mom...not really..she is always giving me reason not to waste my money. My boyfriend...he waits outside the store and I don't like him waiting too much so I have to rush and I don't like that. Just imagime a shopping in 4 hours..it is not done! So I go most of the time alone to enjoy my shopping day. Happy mylotting!

I am not a shopaholic, but most of the time, I would rather be alone. However, more often, I would rather be with my daughter (she's 26 years old) because she understands me and my needs, and we never tire going around the mall. Of course, we are aware of the financial constraints, so we stick to our list so that we buy only those which are necessary and those we can afford. I don't like to shop with my son or with my husband because they are not "shopping friendly", he, he. Oh, men, you know.....

I suppose all men are similar them. When I go with my dad he becomes so restless and helpless ;-) And when I go with my boyfriend then he just prefer to sit outside and wait for me and when I come out of the shop his usual sentence is "Its ok now have you finally got what you were searching for" And I just say "erhh well I think there are other stores over there" And it understand that again he got to wait outside for don't know how long. More often, So, I prefer to go alone.

it depends on my agenda really, if im just killing time, i like to go with friends. or if im shopping for things that i will want opinoins on, like an important event, like prom or a real hot date. haha. otherwise i prefer to go alone, because not everyone likes to shop at the same stores so there is always that well i wanna go here, or i dont wanna go there, so they are very pushy. and i am a pokey shopper, i do not like to be rushed at all.

I prefer shopping with my sister - she like walking around and she doesn't get tired easily so we can go on and on for a whole day. If I were to shop with friends whom I know don't enjoy walking around doing nothing for hours - who like to buy exactly what they want when they see it and not try another store just to check out other offers... then I'd rather shop alone because I might just get in their nerves :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

My elder sister is a great help to me when I shop. She is so careful when I buy something I mean she check everything before I finally buy it. I really like her company. She is so genuine about everything. If she finds a dress not good she will give me many logical reasons outside the store. Unlike my mother who always tells me after I buy the stuff. When its too late.;-) But i like going with my siter whenever she is free to go with me.

It depends on my mood actually... if im in a good mood... i dont mind having other people shopping with me.. but sometimes... if i am in a piss off mood.. like had a fight with my husband or something.. then i like to be alone.. usually i go out shopping with my husband.... but then you know men... they dont like shopping.. so he ends up sitting in a chair outside the store.. while im in shopping.. and i try to hurry.... as i dont like him to wait for me..

Then your case is similar to mine. My boyfriend always wait outside sitting in a chair while I shop and I got to hurry as I don't like him waiting for me like that. So most of the time I go shopping alone.

Once i went shopping with a friend. I found a beautiful yellow dress I wanted so much to take it and when she saw that i was really interested in that she said "hey are you really going to buy this one, in which occasion are you going to wear that" And I was a bit furious though I didn't let her know. And I simply prefered to let it go. I like going with friends and I also like them commenting but not as such that they make you believe your choice is very bad. So from now on I go shopping alone. So there are no one to rush or something like that.

Shopping with whom depends on the situation.Usually I go to shopping with my friends.We enjoy eating roadside snacks when go to shopping.But some time shopping with my boyfriend is also a happy thing.

One day I went shopping with a friend in college. I wanted so much to eat roadside that day and i remember the face she made when I said that. So Now i prefer not going with her as I like my shopping day to be wonderful and do everything I want.Without someone interupting in your "eating roadside" ;-) Happy Mylotting!

I always shoppping with my friends or with my wife. I cant shopping ever alone, because whenever i shopping alone i feel fear and shyness at shop or boutique. I always call to my friends before going shopping and make programme of whole day for shopping, normally i shopping on holidays, so we go shopping with whole day picnic also enjoying. Atlast i say that I not shopping alsone still in my life of clothes and costly items. But i purchase small and cheap items alone.
