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.

Yes of course, I often go shopping for clothes on special occasion. However, I prefer to shop online because it's convenient and saves money.
