Do you like to go shopping for things other than groceries? Why? Do you have an particular favorite stores? Do you like to shop in person or online? What do you go shopping for most often? Do you like to go shopping alone or with friends?

Other than groceries, I like to shop at either best buy or wal-mart for electronic or other stuff. As far as clothes go I shop at Jos A Bank and Brooks Brothers for myself and Macy's or Penny's for my sons.

Yes, I love to go shopping for other things than groceries. Buying groceries is more of a chore to me and something that has to be done. When I go shopping for other things like things for the house, my kids, my husband or myself, that's what I enjoy more. I usually shop in person, but lately I have been getting myself into buying online. It saves me a lot of effort in going out especially that I can't just go out anytime I want to with 2 kids to look after in the house. The only disadvantage with online buying is you have to trust the images that you see... what you see, is what you get. I prefer shopping alone. By shopping alone, I know I don't have anyone else to think about on whether I'm boring them in making them wait for me while I check item after item. :)

I shop because it's necessary! I have one or two favourite shops which I will go to if I need something other than groceries. Currently my favourites are Primark and Ikea. They are fairly new around here. Ikea only opened at the end of last year (or beginning of this year, I can't remember) I probably shop for clothes for my kids more than anything else. I occassionally go shopping with a friend but I would really rather be on my own. Often the only reason I am in a shop for any reason other than grocery shopping is because there is nothing to do around here!

I shop because it makes me good, it lessens my worries. I never tries online shopping. Only online window shopping. Sometimes, I prefer to shop alone because when Im with somebody I tend to buy the same thing as my friend brought.

I detest shopping in any form or shape. It's something that has to be done otherwise we'd go hungry but I really do not understand the pleasure in shopping as a pastime. It smacks of a life bound up in consumer culture and I find it quite sad that so many people have nothing more inspiring to do.

I will like to go shopping other than groceries, only if I have the list in my hand so that I don't waste any time walking around. I personally like to go to Watson. I prefer shop in person rather than online because I can actually check the item first before I bought it. I will rather prefer to go shopping with friends. For me, shopping alone is actually very boring.
