Lightbulb Making shopping fun

Somehow I'm not into shopping.
I was wondering how to make it fun.

Re: Making shopping fun

Money... makes shopping fun. Seriously- much more fun when you don't have to look at prices or sales- when you can just look at anything you like.

But people hve issues for several reasons for not liking to shop:
spending, crowds, no interest in material things, waiting, looking...

some people jus don't like to.

Re: Making shopping fun

Erm. Lol.

Bring a friend.
Having a shopping budget, like Jen said - a lot of money is more fun to spend.
Go when there isn't a lot of people. That's usually an hour after opening or an hour before it closes.
If you bring a friend, we always like having a nice lunch/dinner to look forward to after our shopping.

That's all I can suggest. I dunno how to really make shopping fun... it just happens, not something I really plan for.

Re: Making shopping fun

Yeah, my only suggestion was to bring a friend... it IS so much fun to spend a lot, if you're in the position to.

Re: Making shopping fun

I make a list of what I need, or think I need, like a treasure hunt. Sometimes it helps keep me "on task" so I don't just go start shopping for other stuff..

Re: Making shopping fun

I hate shopping too lol Funnily enough shopping with someone else makes me hate it more. I like to go alone and just get it over and done with quickly and then I can go home. I always write a list on the back of my hand so I know exactly what I need so I don't waste time.
Sorry, I really don't know how you can make shopping fun

Re: Making shopping fun

My mom hates to go shopping too! She can't stand the crowds and line ups!
I, on the other hand, find shopping is a very pleasurable and relaxing experience for me.
I only ever go to the mall alone, and that way I can spend as long as I want looking at everything I please. I can walk at my own pace, and it gives me time to think about things, when I'm stressed out.
You should try going alone, take an Ipod, and spend a few hours on your own, doing your own thing
It really isn't as lonely as it sounds, and it's less chaotic that way!

Sorry if I'm not much help!

Re: Making shopping fun

I'm the same as Katana... I shop alone!

I am a very indecisive person, and I like to change my mind about things a lot.. so when I bring people along they get frustrated, LOL.

I am a huge impulse buyer... and then after I buy it I'm like ''I don't really NEED this''... and usually return it.. lol, I am terrible.

Re: Making shopping fun

I don't know... Dressing up like the opposite sex and going shopping has always made shopping fun for me!! . But Its probably not for everyone!! I love to shop...
