Hi, everyone! Do you like to do your shopping alone or with friends or family? I personally enjoy it either way. I like to go with friends to have company & someone to talk to if we go out to eat. I also like shopping alone though too. If i am in a hurry or just need 1 thing i especially like going alone. What about you? whats your shopping preference?

I can understand that. Sometimes shopping alone can give you that space you need for yourself. Best wishes

I prefer to go with a friend so I have company and someone to talk to as I shop. I went out shopping last night with a friend and we had a great time just wandering around the store looking at things and talking. I ended up buying things for her and me both it was a great time. I useally don't shop alone I always have someone with me.

It is nice to have someone with you while you shop. It's a lot of company i agree. Thanks for your response.

When I am not sure what to buy yet, I would rather do it alone so that I can have all the freedom I want to roam the mall without thinking that there's another person who might been bored or tired with what I am doing.But if I just want to go to the mall without any specific thing to buy, I would love to be with a close friend or a family member.

Hello halynn! I really hate to go shopping alone. I find it pretty boring. If I wanted to go shopping I make it sure my husband will go with me. Though he hates being around in the mall but he does not have any choice. Sometimes, I ask my friend for her free time to make sure that I can go with her in the mall to shop. I mostly go with my friend than my husband..lol. Also with my husband's niece. If she calls me to hang out with her in the mall.

I haven't been shopping in a while either with a friend or without. When I say shopping I am not necessarily talking about food shopping. My husband and I usually take care of grocery shopping together when we can. It has been a while since I have done any shopping for myself especially for clothes and cosmetics and the like. These are the things that women need. I like to go out and eat and treat myself and to tell you the truth I would rather get out on my own to do the shopping and lunch. I think that I just feel better and can think more straight when I am alone rather than with someone that I could possible feel like I am keeping them or holding them back. Taking my time when I go out either regular shopping or window shopping is very important to me. I guess that everyone can have a different opinion about this. Some probably like to hang out with a group of friends or one special friend. I just like to go it alone.
