There are times that I like shopping alone. The reason why it's because I sometimes just want to stroll around on my own and discover stuff. Though at times I also want to have fun with friends so I ask a friend to accompany me but usually most of my friends ask me to go with them to shop. I usually suggest the best outfits and all so it is so much fun.

I enjoy shopping alone and with my husband. It depends on what I am shopping for and where I am going. If it's grocery shopping I like my husband to go with me because we can get it done faster. If it's just personal items for myself, then I like to go alone because it gives me time to go slow and enjoy my time.

Thank you for this interesting question. Now then, what I tend to do is...shop on my own whenever possible! The reason? It's quicker that way, although if I shop with hubby we tend to be quicker than if I was with Mum. She tends to get a bit side-tracked so we end up being out longer than necessary lol. Nah, she's alright really, can be fun going out with her as I don't see her as often as I would like...so I let her have her own way. Hubby is useful in that he is much taller than I am so if there's something out of my reach he can get it down for me. Such a kind-hearted soul!

If i was shopping alone, i would just get the stuff i wanted and leave, if i was shopping with others i would just spend more time with them, walking around, chatting etc. So the answer would be that i enjoy shopping with others because shopping alone seems a little boring unless you were stricly buisness then so be it. Without a companion it is boring.

If I had to be alone to shop or to buy groceries, it's no big deal. I actually enjoy it because I am free to go where I please and no need to wait on anybody. But if I had to be with someone/some people, I would only enjoy shopping with my husband and/or other immediate family members.

Hi azlin..i'm agree with you. if we shop to grocery store with the kids, i'm afraid they will ask for unimportant things, which mean our budget will decrease LoL. thanx, have a nice day!

Actually i'm quite enjoy shopping alone , eat out alone. Sometimes i just want to be alone no matter what i'm going to do . I don't go shopping too much because i'm not a fashion girl and i don't make up at all. Sometimes i would go shopping with my husband but most of time when we go out we would enjoy buying tasty snacks in the street instead of buying clothes or shoes.

Definitely no. For me shopping alone is not enjoyable. I love to go shopping together with my mother, sister of even with my friends because it can be fun. But there's nothing wrong with shopping alone. I just don't want to enjoy the moment all by myself. ^o^

I used to be so scared of shopping alone. (Or even doing anything alone!) But now, things have changed. I find that I love to shop alone rather than with someone tagging along. I can take my time, try on things, be picky, and just enjoy time with myself. I don't have to worry about the other person being tired, thirsty, hungry, and other things. Shopping alone is really fun!

Hi emediloy. Shopping alone is impossible for me. I do that normally for purchasing some personal stuff, I will do that very fast and will straight away go back home after that..just feel weird to be alone out there. I need some friend with me when buying something like cloths, birthday present or some references book for my study...I will like to hear some opinion or comment from others when buying something. I enjoy shopping when it is with my friend and we can chit chat all the way...

I don't mind being alone when i shoppe, and there's no need to treat anyone a snacks LOL after a long hours of shopping..

I prefer to shop alone because my husband had no patience in terms of item prices. Now a days it matters to me the price because it is not an easy money to find and speed it with no limits. So i use it wisely and if the things that i would like to buy is very necessary for me.

Oh yeah, very much! I have more fun when I have no one tagging along with me. I get to take my time, and I don't feel uneasy or awkward having to stay in one place for too long or going in circles inside the shopping mall. Although it has some advantages too when I go shopping with someone, especially if I'm gonna be shopping for a lot of things, it'd be good to have someone help me carry all those bags. hehe.

I tend to have more fun when I go shopping with a friend, or even my mother, but I don't mind shopping alone. I just love when you see something you can't afford that you like, you want to show someone else too. To say "Oh my gosh how cute is this?!" But nobody is there to share that with you. Plus shopping with a friend or close family member brings about conversation, which to me makes it all the more fun. But sometimes shopping alone is a good thing - especially if someone you normally shop with has a lot of opinions!

Yeah. .sometimes we need other opinion before make a decition. especially when suddenly we lack of money, we can lend it from them LoL :D thanx 4 response, have good day!
