I seem to be buying more and more online......I still like actually going to the grocery store though....

I would say 90% of my shopping is done online.  Our closest mall closed, making it more difficult to shop in person.  I miss the Macy’s store, especially their Charter Club line.  There are things I like to see in person to check the fit.

I do both.  I don't necessarily "walk and browse" the mall anymore, but I'll go to the mall to a specific store if I'm looking for something.

I buy my clothes at Talbots and J Jill, both in the stores and online.

I'm a huge Amazon shopper and I shop some at QVC.  I also like Etsy.

I shop smaller local gift type shops.

And I do quite a bit of online shopping.

Just about 100 percent of my shopping is in malls and b/m stores.  I like being out and about; plus I want to see what I'm buying in person.

I swear we’re separated from birth. So much in common.

Yeah, I’m not much of a shopper, either!

I enjoy going to the stores. I live close to two malls so easy shopping and walking for us. My favorite store is Dillard’s and my fav lines are Investments, Ruby Rd, and Westbound.

The bigger mall has a new Pandora (jewelry) store which I enjoy visiting. Then DH and I grab something from Starbucks. Nice and relaxing.

As long as I can, I enjoy malls and B&M stores.

I live near a very large urban area with great shopping choices.   Besides the typical chain stores there are many boutiques and one-of-a-kind stores locally owned.    I also love consignment and thrift stores.    Very close by there is a small, very high income town and the stuff I find at consignment is incredible.   Very high end, hardly used.

I have horrible luck buying online.   My delivery is spotty and there always seems to be a hassle either ordering, receiving the correct item or not getting it at all.  Not worth the stress.   I'm not that big of a shopper.    I would say 95% local, 5% online.

When I want a day to myself I like to just walk around the stores, so I'll go to the mall and just wander about. Often I don't buy anything.  I love to go to Kirklands.

I value my time too much to spend it roaming around to find things I need, so Amazon gets a lot of my business.  I can go online, find exactly what I want, and not waste time looking for it in a store then maybe going from store to store.  I HATE that.  Yesterday I got new mailing labels for the printer, ink and fountain pen cartridges from Amazon.  They came in one day.

I buy groceries mostly at a small natural foods store or Whole Foods (we cook mostly from scratch) and go to a regular grocery store maybe every 4 to 6 weeks.

Clothes?  Talbots, usually online.  Malls don't have much of what I want any more, and I don't go to stores that sell decor and knick nacks because my days of buying those things are over.  At the mall, I'll go to Williams Sonoma for sale items and some of their mixes and olive oils and vinegar; Pottery Barn sometimes; Apple store for needed items there; and that's about it.  I buy makeup from Nordies and Neiman Marcus online because I knew when they have special sales and gifts with purchase and I know what I'm looking for, PLUS FREE SHIPPING and Nordies free returns.

I still enjoy going to the stores. I like being able to look things over, try things on and pick the items I want.  I may order something online once in a blue moon if I know what the item is like and or it fits, but they don't have the color or pattern, etc in the store and the shipping is either free or not too expensive.
