Do you go to shopping Malls? Do you buy things there?

Yesterday I went to Forum Mall here. I noticed many people simply entered, stood in stalls, saw the things there and went away. No one is buying anything in any stall as far as I have seen. Very few like one or two, have made purchases. Do you go to shopping malls? Do you buy anything?

Hi Buchi, there are two shopping malls quite near to my places. My husband and I usually would visit either of them at least once in a week. The nearest one is rather smaller. We drive there just spending 6 minutes or so. It's quite convenient eh... We go there if we really need to buy some articles of everyday use. Most of the commodities are on sale during weekends. So it is crowded with lots of people and customers for sure. My husband doesn't have any patient to queue in the long line for paying the bill that might save him a few dollars. sometimes we even put back the stuffs on their respective places we have picked due to this Have a nice Sunday and happy posting

Anyway this still worth. Yeah, we could save our precious time doing other things first. What’s more the place is quite near to our house. We would visit it at night time again and pick the same items from the same places very much easily

Selecting the item and putting them back for crowd's sake is disappointment is it not?

Yes I love going to the shopping malls. I do buy stuff in the malls like jeans for my daughter and going into bath and body works for nice smelling perfume or body spray or lotions. My daughter likes to get her hair cut at the mall. We got her hair done last week. We like shopping at Clair's in the mall and lots of other places in the mall.

I used to go to shopping malls for buying video games and spending my quarters on arcade games, but now that the arcade business is almost extinct, it's a letdown for me. I missed those days. Nowadays I only eat out at the mall and go for the technology that's in there. Maybe perhaps because i've been to one mall too many. I go to another mall, but rarely on a trip from another person.

I seldom go to malls without purchasing anything! It will be so sad.. hehehe. But you know, people are just being practical now a days. Mall is not just for shopping, there are amenities that you can visit without spending a dime. Like, strolling, window shopping and seeing free programs like concerts, and promos are a nice things to do if ever you would like to go to malls and you are on a tight budget.

I regularly go to shopping Malls, and of course you cannot buy everything you see. I have also done some window shopping, and if some thing is of interest to me, I do certainly buy it. For example, there is a Pantaloon show room in the mall, I am visiting and every week they offer me extra 5% discount over and above the 10% which they give me through their card. So I take this opportunity and buy some nice garments. Not all malls are expensive, if you search, you will get some very good bargains.

Very true. I was thinking malls means expensive. But my daughter bought one dress very good and very cheap. In another mall she bought one sandal slipper for a very low price and it is coming from such a long time for rough use.

Hello Buchi-bulla. If I plan to buy something, then I will go to shopping malls. Otherwise I don't go there. We have some very nice and big malls that I love to go. I can stay there for a long time there to pick up things that I need. The longer I stay there, the more things I buy. I love the nice atmosphere there.

If it is a reasonable bargain, then naturally we feel like buying more things.

Oh yes!I love shopping.I always go there once a week.But i just buy whenever i want something or there are stuffs that i like.I love strolling around because its one way of getting away from home.I feel bored sometimes and going there makes me enjoy but of course with my family.

You are correct. If we feel bored, we will get good time pass there along with knowing what new products have come and at what price range.

Most of the time when we go to the mall we just window shop and then eat in the food court. We love to see how it is decorated for each season.

Hi Buchi_bulla, Going to shopping malls is one of my hobby. It does not necessary have to buy something from the mall,I can just went there for window shopping,to get out my stress. When I was in my college,I used to visit shopping malls every weekend,just for a movie ,chatting with friends at cafe,do some shopping or either window shopping. Frankly speaking, I am not a homely girl.But now after I married with kid, I hardly been to shopping mall again,once a while. Most of the time, I just went to nearby supermarket to do my grocery shopping,hardly do my own shopping.No time for it,I guess.

I usually buy things in the mall whether they're clothes or things for the house. It depends, really. If I cant find what I'm looking for in the mall, then I'll go elsewhere.

That is true. But we can know about new products and their prices etc. so that when we want one, we know we will get it there.

I love malls but since I have a newborn i haven't been there for quite a while. I usually buy clothes for my kids and myself there. but i guess it is more window shopping than a shopping spree.

Hai your avatar is so cute. Where did you get it? Well, I know we cannot buy what all we see. Naturally having gone there, we will see everything to know and buy later. But some will not buy anything at all. They sound like came there to spend some time.

We very rarely go to the mall, so it is a treat when we do. We do not have one located close to us.
