I usually have a list but all always distracted by shiny objects like book covers on the sale tables. I know the location of every 'ladies' and coffee shop with the comfy seats but the number one rule is...never backtrack, always work towards the entrance and leave before sanity does.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-63297782579770296132014-01-26T22:45:49.104+00:002014-01-26T22:45:49.104+00:00Hi Grace,

My husband hates to go shopping with me - I know what I want, I go directly to that part of the store, I flip through their stock, if I can't find what I want I am out of there. I also complain endlessly about the design of department stores and malls - a virtual rats maze with no reward if and when you ever get to your destination. <i>Because they are out of stock</i>!<br /><br />That's why I do all my shopping on-line now - in less time, with less aggravation I can comparison shop and know what's in stock. Of course with shipping and all of that, instant gratification is off the table, but still - NO: crowds, walking in circles, frustration in finding what you want, lines, second guessing the price - the positives just go on and on. <br /><br />I HATE shopping - for anything, anywhere except from the comfort of my desk chair.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872914493612101noreply@blogger.com
