How often do you go shopping for yourself?

Malls - I love shopping.

I find myself shopping about twice a month. I don't go overboard and spend crazy, but a nice outfit or maybe a pair of shoes, something I feel I worked hard and now I need to reward myself, and I feel good about it. It's like a incentive for myself in other words. I love looking around for something that just catches my eye. I know there are alot of people who could careless for putting a foot in a shopping mall or even a department store. Do you enjoy shopping? How often? If you don't like shopping? why?

I am also not a frequent mall goer. But most of the time i go mall to buy some household items or just to chill out with friends and family. Here in India malls are famous because you can see city's all the beautiful girls and handsome boys under one roof.

That's what I love about shopping especially if I waited a couple months. I probably wouldn't know how to act if I waited...thank you for responding

Shopping for yourself would be determined by how much money you have to spend. Some people can afford to go out shopping every other week, other people only go out twice a year to pick up things to replace the worn out clothing in their wardrobe. Others only shop once every five or six years. Clothing is something that someone should never go into debt for.

I agree. I think I have enough clothes to last me another 10 years. Some of my clothes are over 10 years old and still in good shape.

I enjoy shopping, but have been avoiding shopping for myself, because we can't afford it. I know once I start buying things, I don't really stop. It's a thing where, oh, well, I already blew the budget, what's another sweater/shirt/book.

Uh oh, that can be disastrous. I'm on a fixed income so I have to be careful what or if I buy.

I used to go shopping all the time before I came to college. It got so bad that I didn't what I was buying or who I was buying it for. just the thought of something new in a bag that gave me satisfaction. Now that I am in college and money is a lot tighter than it used to be(with me having a part time job) I have learned to budjet myself better and control my naughty shopping habits.

Yeah, when money is tight we have to learn to curb the shopping.

Depends on what I'm shopping for. As a general rule, I do the typical guy "equipment replacement" type shopping. I know what I need and where to find it and that's where I'm headed. In and out and done. I do, once in a while, actually shop. It's ok. Depends on what I'm looking for. If it's shoes, it's usually a pain as I have odd sized feet. Usually when I go shopping it's for nice clothes or something like that.

Typical for a man, so practical. Of course now we can pre shop by checking what's what online which I do a lot and then I check if the prices are better in the store vs online.

i love to go shopping atleast once a week. i feel relaxed in shopping malls and i feel so excited whenever i get to shop for myself. i usually buy a pair of shoes, clothes or bags. it's a fulfillment for me to atleast buy something at the mall.

I go from time to time, but not too often. I like it when my husband is with me. He is good at giving a second opinion on things.

It's rare to hear that men go shopping, most just want to go in buy what the need and leave whereas I love to look around for bargains

I love to shop. It's one of my fave hobbies. Even when I am broke I still go window shopping and I go grocery shopping almost daily. It's a stress reliever to me.

I used to shop daily but now I shop for food once a month or so and for other things every few months. At least I'm not spending too much money.

I hate to go shopping,gocery shopping,clothes shopping you will never see me a mall. I just hate fighting the people and the last time I was in the grocery store I was hit twice with a buggy . People are so rude when they are shopping I have found.

yes that is very true, I try to just ignore them cause I got shopping on my mind..Mind over matter :)...On a lighter note, I agree, you have some real bad attitude people out there. It makes you wonder why even come out frustrated to be rude to other people who are doing the same thing you doing....thanks for responding...

I go shopping for myself pretty often. But it's never anything major, and now that I'm thinking about it, it's always stuff that I need. It's never anything huge. Every once in awhile, I'll splurge on something that I want, but that's pretty rare. Now since I'm having a bigger income come in, I'll probably try and do some more shopping soon..especially since I need some jeans and what not.

i like to shop but i can't afford it. i go shopping every 8 months. but when it's time to shop i go crazy. i go to jcpenny and pick out two pants. EACH 15 DOLLARS. then i go and get two shirts both for 10 DOLLARS. yea i kno i kinda need to settle down but i can't control it. then i go to walmart and buy myself a nice pair of confortable shoes for 20 dollars. this one time i got to go shopping for my birthday, my dad got me an aeropostale hoodie for 20 dollars. that's the most expensive thing in my closet. i tried to get something like that last year but my dad said we couldn't afford it. o, it was a bummer since i love shopping.

Seeing as how I don't like to go shopping I would have to say that when I do go I don't spend that much on myself and it is about every six months.

I soooo love shopping. I love going to the mall and see what's the latest finds. Shopping for myself is like awarding my own self. It's such a great feeling when you bought something for yourself. I also like shopping for my siblings, too. Sometimes, I tend tp overspend. I shop at least once a week.
