The Lost Art of Shopping...  

I'm just like you I panic when I am in a store, especially if there are alot of people in there & the noise level get's to me to. I rush in & get what I went in for & leave as fast as possible. When I go with my sister, I'm a litle more calm,cause she's my 'safety' zone..lol...Lori

Well I am a clearance shopper so I can spend hours in a store digging thru the racks. Me and my mom could shop for hours upon hours except for a break to eat at some point.

You are too funny fluffy woman. LOL I'm a redneck girl and I hate to shop. If it ain't at Wal-Mart and easily accessible then I don't get it. I mostly just shop for groceries. Believe it or not, my husband and my youngest son are the shoppers in the house. I'll admit it's easier for me to shop if I take a friend, but only a friend. Shopping with my family causes me to spend more money that I don't have because of the pitiful faces they make when they want something. LOL

I enjoy shopping when I have the time and money to spend on some fun or wanted stuff. I have become a bit lazy and do a lot on the computer or locally, as I can usually search online and find things cheaper.

I was never a big shopping person, in malls and stuff. I like shopping in flea markets, yard sales, and thrift shops. Not because I am broke but because I love the "hunt". I never know what I will find and it's more fun that buying new.

I guess, essentially, I love to shop, but more on old and used stuff.

When my kids were little I did enjoy going grocery shopping and leave the kids at home with hubby, it was relaxing. Now I do most of my Christmas shopping online. I did enjoy going to stores with my mother also and I do miss that very much. I hate going to stores now, I get so nervous just knowing I might have to go inside a store. I do have anxiety and I hate that, panic attacks are not fun at all.
When I am at my daughter's visting sometimes I will go with her to the store and I enjoy that also, she and I have fun but I wish I could enjoy it again like I used to.

If I am shopping for clothes I love it. If I am just browsing around, I love it. But if I have to go grocery shopping I hate it. I get to the point I just don't know what to buy to cook anymore. I am sick of eating the same foods all the time. Also I think of buying groceries, a waste of money. We just eat it and poop it out, so what a waste.

But I love to shop in the malls and just walk around and browse. I like to see what the new styles are. I don't like having to try on clothes in the stores, though. I prefer to take home the clothes to try them on and if they don't fit, or I don't like the way they fit, I just return them.

I enjoy shopping sometimes, like when I'm on vacation and there are stores that are not around here. I also like going with my daughter, and we'll browse and just look at things, then go out for lunch. If I have to get some shopping done as a chore, I try to hurry up and get it done. Yesterday I went shopping for some plants for my garden, and I took my time and had to look at all the plants before picking a few out.

I used to enjoy shopping much more before...When me and hubby met and first moved in together (before being married), we lived next to a big mall, and would go there a few times a week, just browsing by, making a mental list of things "we needed to buy next time" you know, the stuff you never end up buying? LOL But now, when i go shopping with him, he is sooooo stressed out and is like "are you done? come on" i always, always forget something i really needed cuz he's pushing me in the behind!! And he gets me nervoussssss, i'd rather go alone! And now, with our 4 months old, we can't just decide to go shopping anymore like before, we have to plan it ahead, depending on what time he'll have his next bottle, etc. and we have to pack for the occasion as well! diapers, bottles, wipes, toys , you name it!

I don't care for shopping so I'm in and out. And with the price of gas I try to do as much shopping on one day as possible. I get tired after a couple of hours of being on my feet so I will grab just about anything by the end of the day...lol. Because of this I prefer to shop alone so I can get what I need and get out. I can through stores like an olympic sprinter...lol.

Well, it depends on whether I have money or not. If I don't have money I just grab what I need and I try to get out of the stores as soon as possible. If I happen to have money it takes me the whole day.
