Duchess commented that she enjoys retail therapy, and i wondered if others here really enjoy shopping? i HATE shopping. i used to enjoy high-end stores, but now i can't stand the hassle, the driving distances, and never finding exactly what i want. ::irk::
since i started shopping online i have been very happy with the ability to getprecisely what i want and have it come right to my door! :cool:and i can still shop the better stores that i would have to drive into boston for otherwise. now THAT's a nightmare! ::death::
I think she meant online shopping... that's basically the only kind of shopping I do anymore except for groceries. Crowds irritate me, Utah crowds even more so. I've never seen so many ill-behaved children in my life.
I did mean online shopping, I think it's the best invention since air conditioning...I like spending money, it makes me happy...It's also the only reason I work, I want financial independence & I'd rather slit my throat than to have to justify a dime I spent...fuck that.
Grocery shopping I have become ruthlessly efficient at, its like a timed military mission, if my daughter is with me she knows just to grab onto the back of my jacket and keep moving.
I can do a full daily shop in about 13 minutes.
I hate shopping per se, with a passion... but I love kitchen shops. I'm a gadget man, I have kitchen gadgets for everything! Don't get me started on herbs and spices and condiments...
cool :cool:
last week i went online to look for some Chanel sunglasses. i found some i liked, $228. marked to $56. so i started to order them when i noticed the money was going to the bank of china! :shock:no way! hell, they were probably knock-offs. have to be careful out there! 
one of my favorite sites is williams-sonoma, i am a sap for beautiful cookware.::stir:: you'd love it Crash!
Ooohhhh, I like handbags & stiletto heeled badgirl boots...Yummy cashmere sweaters & pretty sandals...The list goes on & on.
lol... My fashion shopping extends to a pair of 501's or wranglers, a blue tshirt and a pair of RM Williams boots

You've got to be really careful with chinese knock offs JB, they are all over the place (especially fucking e-bay), a friend of mine bought a rolex for £100 when it came it looked like a plastic replica with scratchesall over it. When he checked to return address it wasa P.O.Box in Hong kong, even though the E-bay ad said, item location - Paris.

Me too. We have a gourmet kitchen store here that I could spend all day in. They have everything from wine and condiments toprofessional restaurantequipment. Some women like shopping forjewelry and clothes, I like shopping forWusthof knives and Allclad pots and pans.
I could go nuts in a Le Creuset store. I have Zwilling & Henckels knives, have had them for about 15 years and they still sharpen fine enough that I can shave with them
i have the same knives, any serious cook knows the right tools are everything. and as expensive as they were, my grandkids will be using them!
the other obsession of mine is 900 thread countegyptian cotton sheets. 
must have! try finding those at the fucking walmart! ::lmao::
Lumpy, you can get groceries at home.....

I'm like you Crash.... I love to cook and all kinds of gadgets for the kitchen thrill me.
Where I live finding good produce and ingredients is becoming harder by the day. I'm finding online shopping better and better and never mind the people here.... it's freakin' Benny season now the beach is open. I don't go to the stores unless its necessary.
Nice herb shop, Ant.
I also very much prefer to shop online. I DETEST going to 'walmart' and I generally don't enjoy grocery shopping (unless I'm looking for something special).
