Well I rarely go shopping. I buy things mostly from online. I only go to malls if I have to buy an electronic gadget because I want to test the gadget before I buy it.

I like going to the mall, but I rarely buy clothes. I like going for coffee or to see a movie.

Do you enjoy shopping? How often do you go shopping for clothes or shoes?
Well, I don't buy clothes very often, but I like going to stores or shopping centers just to see the products, like maybe computers, video games, toys, etc.
Things I like are too expensive, so I don't buy them

I really enjoy shopping, is one of my favorites hobbies, specially in this stage of my life because my kids grow up and now only buy for myself.  One thing that I really love is when the liquidations go on, the stuff is really cheap and you can buy a lot for a fraction.

Yes, I do, I usually go shopping twice a year to buy clothes for the summer or the winter.
Nowadays, the clothes become very expensive in my country, specially if you buy from a popular brands.
