Hi! I am the ultimate shopaholic. I really like to shop till I drop. My hatest is window shopping because I can't buy anything! So, out of curiosity, I'm asking the mylotters here how many times do you shop in a month or how often do you shop? Happy mylotting!

I shop wisely and also I depend it all with my budget. I don't even go inside the store if I don't have anything to buy. But if it is really required to window-shop to differentiate the prices because usually I compared the amount and the quality of the item. Sometimes, if my budget is okay, i will buy stuffs for my nieces and nephews just to make them happy.

I don't like shopping at all. I don't get any enjoyment out of it at all. So I only shop when I need to get something for me and my family. Other wise I don't really care for it and try to avoid it as much as possible.

My mom was the same way and she was no tomboy. I'm a tomboy at heart I rather spend my money on things we need then things I don't need and be able to do things with my kids. I don't mine shopping for my kids that can be fun at times but not always.

Usually do food and drink shopping three times a week. I can't get all I need for any one supermarket so I visit three different ones. I shop at Sainsburys, Asda, Waitrose regularly and the Co-Op less often. I eat a vegan diet and so can only eat food suitable for vegetarians and vegans. I shop for clothing as and when required. I get disappointed when I look around clothing shops. They don't have what I wish to get most usually. I order some items on-line and they the postman delivers them to me. I used to get a washing clothes liquid in Waitrose but now I can only buy it on-line.

is it better to buy online? I have tried it but sometimes what I get is not what is described on the website. :) thanks for your response.

It depends on my mood... I urgently shop if I need to buy something... I wait till there is a price off if I would just like to do shopping... I also shop if i don't feel well to make me get back on track...

I don't usually shop for a bunch of items but I get easily tempted to buy something when I happen to pass by some interesting things even though I don't really need it in my everyday life. I end up spending much on a thing that I will eventually not use which is the reason that I can't save up money. We should learn to be responsible enough on what we buy I guess since I got a different situation but similar case with you.

I agree that we should not be responsible. Over spending is really bad. thanks for the response!

There is no particular number of frequency regarding my shopping, especially for my personal needs/wants (snacks/meals, books, writing materials, among others). I shop whenever I have the financial capabilities to do so, which is as of now, quite little. Hahaha. Anyway, I think it would count if I get to shop for our goods/supplies at home, and that happens almost every now and then.

I am also a shopaholic. But I can control myself in malls. Haha. When I feel as if I already spent and bought a lot, I either go home or eat at some restaurant and just hang out there. Sometimes, I like window-shopping. I usually shop twice every month, usually on Saturdays or Sundays. Sometimes I shop alone. Sometimes I shop with family or friends.

I only shop for food and ocassionally I will shop for things I want. Money is so tight right now that I try not to buy anything extra. I used to be a shopaholic until I got married then I realized that I cannot keep on spending money because it would put me further in debt. I am very careful with money and I set up and budget and stick with it. It can be hard at times, but I do manage.

uhm are your particularly talking about shopping of clothes/electronics, or your also talking about the grocery needed for the house. Uhm anyway, for clothes, maybe in 3-4 months I'd buy new clothes, but with it comes to the grocery. I accompany my sister doing it. We usually do that every month. or when we need to resupply. I try to control myself because I believe that I am an impulsive buyer :D happy myLotting

I shop a lot too!! I don't know how many times in one month I went shopping, but everytime I am in the store and I spotted something I like, I buy it right away! :D

I do love shopping, whether it's groceries or things that I want. But I'll just talk about shopping on things that I want. I really feel good and happy going to stores and malls, watching the different things that I want like clothes, shoes, bags, accessories and many others. The only problem I have is the budget. haha If only I have lots and lots of money, maybe I'd be doing shopping as often as I can. But since I have none, all I do is only window shopping. I just imagine myself wearing and using those things I want to buy. And in times when I already have the budget, I feel like I'm in heaven specially when I go home with lots of new stuffs on hand. I can only do real shopping when it's my birthday, Christmas month,summer, and sometimes during mid-year.
