i love window shopping.. it doens't mean that if i don't have money, i cannot shop.. there are pros and cons to window shopping: for the pros, it helps me relax my mind.. it updates me to the latest trends and it gives me ideas for my own wardrobe or gifts for a lot of occasions.. for the con, it's frustrating to see items that i like but i can't get:)

I do, most of time when the salary is quite approaching, that's the perfect time to window shop so i could choose the best things that i would like to buy, and by the time that i got the money i could by those directly because i'm done choosing for the best. :)

I do window shop when I want to buy something. It is always good to window shop first before buying and sometimes if there would be a sale I would window shop first to see if the item that they would have in their sale would be really in sale. Sometimes they say it is sale but the truth is not. Same price as the usual.

I do this all the time because I cannot afford the things I want. I will not say that I am poor or anything its just I am having a little financial problems since it has been hard for me to find a job because of the economy.

Yes, I love windows shopping. I just wanna a to be up to date with what's new market. And also checking the price for the I think I plan to buy. If I do windows shopping, usually I go to see a tech gadget or hardware store. While doing it, I could play a long with my daughter. But, I'm not just intentionally go out for windows shopping. I do this while my wife go to groceries store to buy our daily need. BR

[i]Hello orevro, Yes, I do window shops. Just like you, I want to see the latest trends but it doesn't frustrate me when I do window shopping. I guess I know my capacity, so it doesn't bother me if I can't get or shop what I want. Regards.[/i]

Hi There! Yes, when I am not in the mood, I just go to the mall together with my friends to check out new things or clothes to buy but sometimes or most of the time, we just do window shopping especially if we can’t find anything that we like. One thing that I can’t never miss though… That is to buy books or novels that I like if I see one. Cheers!

I do! I love to window shop. I literally walk down the mall and look through the windows without going inside. If I'm not shopping for anything in particular, then it's up to the window display to draw me in. if I like what i see then I'll go in for a look, but if it's just blah then I go to the next store. There are stores (like bookstores) that I have to go in to though even if the window display isn't that great.

I don't usually window shop, if I don't have money I don't go to department stores because if I only window shop it makes me feel down and gives me low self-esteem, so everytime I go to the department stores I see to it I have something to buy or a real shopping.

I try not to because window shopping turns into regular money spending shopping for me :( If I do window shop, it has to be without my wallet.

I use to window shop when i was younger, only because i didn't have any money. it was very frustrating becuase i wanted everything when i was younger. Everything, even trash. now i have a credit card and when i go window shopping i end up buying a whole lot of crap that i don't even need. Credit cards are evil. i think it's frustating for the shop owner too, since i would usually pick up everything in the store and ask questions and pices and not buy anything. but i do think window shopping is good because you can get to shop around and find the best price. in order for me to window shop i would have to leave the house without any cash or cards.

Yes I do especially when I need fresh ideas. Window shopping help me stop worrying about my job for quite a few hour and lift the cloud of my mind that when I start thinking about work again, I know what to do. Also, window shopping help me know the latest trend and canvass the amount of something I might buy in the future.

Yes, I do window shop and I love it. It also makes me feel relaxed even if I just get to see or touch the items in the mall and not buy them. Although it makes a lot of difference if I have enough or much money to buy things that I like, hehehe . Window shopping also makes me feel happy. It is true, it makes us knowledgeable on the new trends and stuff nowadays. It also is a wonderful form of exercise, as we roam around the mall walking.

Yes, and no... =), well sometimes even if i have a money to buy stuffs but only that i think first if i really need the item or not. So instead i just window shop to check on the prices so next time i know where to buy and would know how much would i need to spend.

It is fun but that is a reason that we are having a recession because people are window shopping and not buying.
