Are you a fan of shopping? What shops in general do you like going to? Are you an occasional shopper or a compulsive shopper? Discuss.

I like shopping. Nothing better than popping into my local BHS to pick up some fine china and faux-fur rugs.

Don't mind going shopping, apart from when it actually comes to buying things

I must admit I am rather keen on shopping days out, I am always very careful though about spending too much, don't want to throw away money on useless nonsense.

too many people working at the shops trying to help you

I've got to say I don't mind the occasional browse in an entertainment or sports store, but when it comes to most others I am rather weary of them.

I hate that. You walk into a shop and you want minimal contact with anyone. Just want to get your purchase and get out of the shop, but the assistants are always there, hiding behind some clothes rail, waiting, watching, until you get near enough for them to pounce on you and try and 'help' you by asking many pointless questions. I always feel like telling them to piss off, but my manners won't allow me.

Sounds more like a serial rapist than a shop assistant

Hate when you're walking down a supermarket with small aisles with a trolley and you get a parade of people walking down the aisles with their trolleys and you end up being stuck in the middle of what ends up as a game of dodgem cars

I love shopping but I have to be in the right mood.

I don't shop often anymore as I am locked away but in the holidays I love hitting the streets or splurging online.

I love shopping, but not so much on Saturdays I tend to go during the week when it's a bit quieter

I rarely go shopping any more, tend to just order things from the interwebs. But I do enjoy it.

Urgh, I remember when sarongs were trendy and David Beckham sported one. Bad times.

I shop online to browse for what I want and then go out and buy it at the local store if it can be found. Hate spending too much time out with loads of people browsing unless the stores are somewhat bare of other shoppers getting in my way.

I love shopping but the quality on the high street has really gone down in recent years so I tend to shop online - buying more expensive clothing but less often and always hunting for bargains. I actually save alot of money by only buying pricier brands because I never impulse buy and I buy things much less often

Im not a big fan of shopping itself unless it's Gamestation/Game, but one great thing I always get out of it is the distractions if you get what I mean, and of course Mcdonald's.:hugesmile:

Unless its in HMV or That's Entertainment, I don't really do much shopping, apart from the occasional Primark character T-shirt. :laugh:

Internet Shopping all the way for me so I don't have to put up with my Mom staring at the same product for 20 to 25 minutes.

I love it apart from near Christmas when the queues are just ridiculous and people are pushing past and stepping on my toes.

Any other time though I love spending the day out shopping, having a bar lunch etc.

Loathe shopping except if I'm on holiday, but here - I will do anything I can to avoid it and shop online for most things - I even get groceries delivered.

Like Josy: I love Christmas time but not necessarily the 'shopping' as such, but I really get pleasure of browsing for gifts for friends - but again - thanks to crappy weather, queues, ignoramuses etc: I'd rather do it with my fingers than my feet.
