Do you prefer to shop in town or online? ( Archived) (19)

hi, ml

it is both options for me..

i just buy where the things cost less as i don't like to give "them" my money

but i do like good quality things, therefore i tend to buy during the sales, promotions and such...

i have never been depressed to the level i didn't want to shop

i guess i have just never been depressed...

but i find that i shop more when i'm unsatisfied...it is a form of self gratification

and yes, i do get a rush going home to try clothes i bought...

Well it all depends on what I need

Food and clothes ,I go out and buy them

blow up dolls ,I order them on line...

grocery shopping is always online,because i find it tedious
apart from fruit and veg-that takes me to the open market,i like to handpick them and buy,what looks and smells fresh..
clothes,shoes,cosmetics ,presents and all the personal stuff i buy personally,but only when im in "shopping"mood..
of course i ve had times when i havent been able to buy,what i need,but, back then that was the last thing to be worried about..

do tell Boban how many blow up dolls do you own?

I also like to do both. But if I could I would love to be able to do all online shopping. I find by online shopping I have a wider variety of choices. I like wedgewood decor. Some of the older pieces. Not so easy to find in my area. But I have acquired some nice pieces from on line.


Have you ever been too depressed to shop?
I have not only been to depressed to shop but after the death of my husband I was to depressed to even go to the hairdressers. I found myself one day walking around with a hole in my jeans and that woke me up.



Do you get a rush going home and trying on your wares or waiting for a parcel to arrive?
I do One time I had gotten a new stero and the day befor it was to be here I could not sleep that night I was so excited


Do you pine to fit into your favourites which are a size too small?
I pretty much stay the same size. Every now and then if I do not feel well I might lose some weight but it will find its way home when I feel better

I just want to add ml that if the moment is right I do enjoy shopping in the physical sense of getting dressed and going. I am also like I have heard you say about yourself comfortable at home. I enjoy doing things at home. Gardening, reading, cooking, etc....But I do like a good art exhibit

People from London very rarely go to Oxford Street, I live 20 minutes away but as far as im concerned it could be 20 miles away, I leave it for the tourists.. There are plenty of places to shop in London rather than O/S

I don't get excited about shopping, not even food shopping. I can't remember the last time I went to the mall. Never did like the mall because I don't like crowds of people. Now that I'm retired I don't need clothes. Occassionally I buy shoes online from a company that gives free shopping and if I have to return the shoes it's free shipping back to the company. Being retired and not knowing if I'll get a social security check next month I need to be frugal with my money. I prefer to see the numbers get bigger on the bank statement then shop just because I have nothing to do.

I used to love shopping now that some people can be so rude it's become not too much fun anymore.Now I just shop cause I have to.

I have always found shopping stressful! The High Street on a Saturday afternoon is my idea of Hell!

I do most of my shopping online for clothes, jewellery, etc.

But go to the store for groceries, as I like to actually SEE the food before I buy.
