Huh-uh!! No Way!!!
I don't care for big stores or malls or any of that jazz (though I DO like Jazz!
)!!! I buy groceries and consumables as needed....clothes very seldom....etc...etc...and do most (if not all) of that at local retailers. For electronics, books, and other stuff like that, I shop online....NO crowds, and it shows up at my door!!!
I don't have to fight for parking places, or get jostled or knocked around by rabid shoppers, or stand in ridiculously long lines to checkout!!!
Plus, I don't have to go to 2,3, or 4 different places to find the best prices
......AND fight for parking places, or get jostled or knocked around by rabid shoppers, or stand in ridiculously long lines to checkout...at each place!!!
We don't exchange "gifts"....I'll pay for a trip or 2 for her, she'll get me a gift certificate at my favorite butchershop.....or vice-versa.....No shopping for junk, just for "good living" stuff!!!
