My mom and i go shopping together a lot and she gets kind of annoyed when the store or mall is crowed it dosent bother me much but i guess it is kind of annoying when theres to many people in one shopping lane and you start bumping in to one another so i was wondering whats the best time of day to go shopping and dose it bother you if the store is crowded?

I like to go early in the morning....right when the stores open unless it's a 24 hours store.....then I still go early in the morning. I realy don't like crowds with people bumping into you and you having to navigate your way around others. So for me....morning is the way to go.

I like shopping in the evining, usualy right as the sun is setting. It is usualy lees crowded then so I can get right in and right out.

I shop whenever there is something to buy. Most of the time we shop in the afternoon or night time. Whether I bother when the store is crowded all depends on my mood. If my mood is good, crowded store might make me excited to join in the fun. However, when my mood is not that good, it is irritating. Haha

Hello apples99 I dunno about clothes shopping because I don't really get the chance or money to do it!! For grocery shopping I would definately not go on a Friday evening or Saturday as I would have my kids with me and the shop is full and that drives me crazy so I go on a Wednesday morning usually because that is when I get my money and I don't have any of my children with me and it is relaxed and a pleasure to do.

I hate when the stores are crowded. There are always long ques at the check out. The stores are making money and so are the employees, we are giving them the money and we are not paid for our time, so I'd rather not spend it waiting in long ques. I usually go shop aroud 10am as it is not too busy and some stores have only just opened so there is plenty of stock and not too many people getting in my way.

I like to go early in the morning as soon as the store is open. I hate long lines and fighting for a good parking spot.

I think the best time to go shopping is either about 9:30 or 10:00 in the morning or about 10:00 PM at night. Either of those times are times when hardly anyone is out and about. Of course, shopping later at night only happens at stores that are open 24 hours or later hours. Malls usually aren't open that late but sometimes I think it would be pretty nice if they were, it may make shopping a heck of a lot easier especially for some people.

I like to go either first thing in the morning or in the middle of the night to avoid the crowds. Sometimes going when it is busy cannot be helped though. If I have to go when it is crowded I try to get in and out in as little time as possible.

i usually go in the morning on weekdays. Not much people in the mall til lunch time. I don't really like the crowd in the mall. Some people got the habit of looking at the stuff you are buying (especially Asian countries)....which really annoys me. I would love to shout "Mind your own business!!!" out loud to them

hi there, when it comes to shopping i don't mind about the time or whether it's crowded. when i decide to shop i just go with any of my friends and we keep roaming in the malls and shop. my mom is not interested in shopping that much and she accompanies me very rarely. if she comes with me i will go in the evenings. happy mylotting! have a nice day!

I love to go for shopping in the morning hours when the store is not very crowded. It gives me an opportunity to scan the things properly so that I can choose the best out of them. I do not like shopping in a store which is so crowded that people start bumping into each other while choosing their items. I usually walk out of such stores because it annoys me a lot.
