I like browsing in bookshops, department stores with different sections like John Lewis, Debenhams, Selfridges, I also like the centre aisles in Lidl and Aldi and a rummage around Florence and Fred or George or Tu in the supermarkets.

Omg yes Wilko's

Ikea as well, I could quite happily spend a day wandering around Ikea buying things I don't need.

Like sometimes I just go into Tesco to browse the reduced items and 90% of the time I don't buy anything. And Lush is way too expensive but I just go in every time I see one to smell everything
Yeah I do if it's a small shop, not if it's a big supermarket or something. Or if the shop assistant is really helpful I'll feel guilty for not buying something

HMV is still enjoyable for me, overpriced mostly but when they have a sale it's usually worthwhile.

TK MAXX and River Island for clothes.

Selfridges, John Lewis (especially the one in Liverpool bc it has a really beautiful light up tunnel thing where you can see a really cool view of everything too), love TKMAXX and Homesense too (probably my favourites actually), also stuff like clothes shopping, HMV and bookshops and also when you go to a discount store where you find some really surprising stuff


basically I like retail therapy

Either Waterstones, this vintage clothes shop near me or somewhere like M&S (for when I want to feel posh and like a fat pig)

I used to love going into HMV and buying DVDs and games but my local one closed down years ago and now my nearest one is like 8 miles away. </3
