If you go shopping, do you prefer shopping alone or with somebody say a parent or a friend?
I always go with friends into town to do clothes shopping but with loads of friends you always feel under pressure and usually I end up abandoning the search for clothes and we end up going for drinks. My best friend is the same way and he prefers going either alone or even with his mum and dad who still offer him advice on clothes even though he's past 20. :P
How about you?

I do enjoy shopping with someone as it's nice to get opinions from other people rather than buy something and I may not really look as nice as I think :P

you probably shop with a male though
males are programmed to say yes you look good in that, no you don't look fat, etc.

I like shopping alone so I'm not bothered and I can go in the shops I want to go in, but I also like going with someone so they can tell me their opinions on the things I am buying - e.g. do the clothes suit me.

Nah I'd never subject a male to the torture of a female shopping. My lady friends will be brutally honest with me
Definitely with a buddy or a girlfriend because going to the mall alone is boring..

I prefer shopping with other people. Someone to talk to and mess around with :)

shopping for myself idm going alone or with my bf as he gives me opinions but i also know wht i look good in so its a win win rly
I rather shop by myself. My friends are obnoxious and tend to be really picky,and will stay in a section of clothing for way too long when I wanna keep moving along and vise versa.

I hate shopping with friends and always end up spending money on things I don't want. I'm ok shopping on my own but only if it's a quick into town, grab what I want and back home again, so I have to know what I want.
I really like shopping with my mum in town because she buys me stuff we have about the same tolerance for shopping.

I like to have someone with me so I can get their opinion on something, talk to them and joke about things but I also like to shop alone as I can go to any shop I want and don't have to go into shops that the other person wants to go to :D

If I'm going clothes shopping I prefer to head down by myself as long as I've got my earphones. If I'm going down for anything other than clothes I like to go with someone so we can grab a coffee or a drink or something halfway through.

With other people
Always love going with someone else to be fair, feel like people watch you when your on your own
Depends what mood I'm in I guess. Usually I go with my girlfriend but if she's not around I will happily go on my own.
I prefer shopping alone, I can do what I want and take as long as I want and not feel pressured

i love shopping for clothes on my own i can take my time and rly think things through about if i want it. bf hates it when i take too long so hes annoying to shop with even tho it is a lot more enjoyable and his opinion matters to me. i know he likes shopping with me when we go look at stuff for him anyway because he likes to ask me opinions n same for me. we go trafford centre a lot
in the supermarkets i LOVE going with him or just friends its so fun
If I have something specific to get, then I usually like to be on my own. For when I don't really have anything to buy then with someone.

alone for food shopping, its such a lovely thing to do to relax.
clothes shopping i'd rather someone with me but sometimes feel pressured into hurrying up.
Idk i've only really shopped with somebody so I guess thats my answer haha
definitely with somebody
feel awkward on my own

With somebody else
I prefer shopping with somebody else because if I am on my own I just get demotivated and go home lol

I find it more fun with one other person. Just the two of you means it's enjoyable and you can get an opinion without being drowned out by everyone doing different things. Although, I shop very efficiently when I'm alone.
I love to go with my sister because we make sure we go to ALL the shops we both want to and don't miss anything out. And I trust her to tell me if something looks horrendous. After that I'd choose to go with my best friend but sometimes I feel we go to more of 'her shops,' and I go along with it to please her. She isn't great at going for hours in the way my sister is. Shopping stamina ftw.

I prefer going with someone else, although if I'm on my own then I can just get on with it instead of looking at things that they want to look at too.
It really depends, if I am just wasting time alone, but if im with a friend and we both need clothes I'll go with my best friend.

For food shopping I like to go with somebody else because I never make a list and once I get there walk around the store trying to find stuff to cook.. which is usually chicken.
As for clothes and everything else, myself and myself only.

i prefer alone, most of my friends are judgemental so i'd rather just get what makes me happy rather than be persuaded into buying something that's not my kinda thing
