shopping with friends?

when you go shopping w/ your friends - do you shop on top of each other?
ex - you walk around the entire store w/in a foot of each other.

or do you shop independently while in the same store?

or do you split up completely and then meet up at a specific time?

im so glad im not alone!

i also hate when you go with someone and they keep yapping while im trying to look for something. i feel like abruptly saying "SHHHH! im shopping here!"

Re: shopping with friends?

I shop with friends almost everyday at work but we split up. I could never shop with someone by my side. I wouldn't be able to concentrate

Re: shopping with friends?

I really dont' like shopping with anyone else because I feel rushed...and I like to take my time.

Or I feel like they are slowing ME down.

Too much of a pain....

Re: shopping with friends?

We usually stay in the same store, but browse around on our own...

unless only one of us is shopping, if that's the case the non-shopper tags along and gives her thoughts on the items the shopper has chosen.. i LOVE shopping for other people.. I seriously should have been a personal shopper..

Re: shopping with friends?

My preference is shopping alone .. BUT when I do go with friends................


It depends on the friend. There is one friend I sometimes go shopping with and I just KNOW that I will not be buying anything for myself. She yaps the ENTIRE time that it's hard to focus and we also have very different taste- so I can't even get her opinion on things.

I have another friend though who is pretty good to shop with- we get ideas from each other and we do a mix of shopping side by side (and sometimes trying on the same things Chat Icon ) or splitting up ... depending on the store.

My DH is my FAVORITE person to shop with! Chat Icon He is so patient and helps me look for things to try on! Chat Icon He's a really good sport! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: shopping with friends?

If I go shopping with a friend or with my mom and sister, we usually each circulate through the store on our own and then go into the dressing room at the same time to model things for each other.

The other day, my GF was specifically shopping with me to help me find something to wear to my b-day party, so we were browsing together.

Re: shopping with friends?

the only person i can shop with is my mother, bc she is never looking for herself so she just walks around with me and helps me pick stuff out and gives me her opinion

if i go with someone else i just go to keep them company, i could never really shop with anyone else. . .

Re: shopping with friends?

If I don't have a lot of time, I prefer to shop alone. I'd feel bad rushing and dragging someone else.

When I have time, I like shopping with my sister or two of my friends. We don't shop on top of eachother, but we stay in the same section.

Re: shopping with friends?

i shop well with certain friends as far as browsing goes..we walk around the store on our own. we dont stay next to each other.

the only bad thing is the dressing room- i dont like to "show " people things that i try on. .. i prefer to try on alone, and then buy it myself- i dont want peoples opinions...

i also do not like to give others my opinion, i usually have different taste than most of my friends.
