WALMART, they have the best prices around and in this sad case our economy is in, it works. There are some who don't like Walmart, well then let them go spend their money elsewhere and spend way too much. I have always spent my money well at Walmart and never had a problem with anything I have purchased there including all things for Autumn.

Ikea. I always go there with something in mind to buy but somehow leave with a bunch of other stuff too.

In the past usually bought electronics or appliances from Sears. I will again when I need something like that. There are certain items I won't buy at Walmart but for every day things, that is the way to go, IMO.

I hate shopping in general but can happily look at horse tack, lumber, hardware and electronics for hours. For regular shopping, I try to time it so I get to the stores early enough that there are very few people.

Tractor Supply-husband will happily come in and browse to unlike petsmart we both get annoyed at all the unruly pets ppl bring in at petsmart-not just dogs who are getting trained, I would understand that, I am talking about full on aggresive dogs who slip away from their owners or growl the entire visit! I do enjoy the happy go dogs tho!

I can walk out with 8 bags of pine horse bedding with not to many looks(except a few oh what type/how many horses do you have-easy I am picking it up for my friend

a local music store. I am always there buying music and supplies for my business.

i used to shop all the time at Barnes and Noble...now i just go and browse the new books and I make a list and then head over to the library to get them. YOu see i don't really have that much space in my apartment for books I will only read just once.

Depends what I'm shopping for.

Clothing stores I LOVE Eclipse, Roots and Old Navy...clothing for the boys Children's Place.

Everyday stuff, probably Zellers.

It depends....

For clothing, I love Coldwater Creek; I love the way their pants fit me.

I love a good kitchen store and could happily wander around for quite a while.

I'm also happy to peruse Lowe's and Home Depot. DH says that I'm waiting for Ahmed Hussan (DIY's Yard Crashers - he asks you why you're at the store and then will work on something in your yard for you) to stop me and ask what I'm shopping for.
My sister and I can easily spend an hour or two walking around home improvement stores.

And then there are used book stores. I love used book stores.

For general shopping, though, I'm a Target girl.

I REALLY dislike shopping anywhere and everywhere, but if I had to choose... Amazon, I guess.

I guess it just depends on what I'm shopping for


Pets: I love our local feed store, Hollywood Feed and for bigger things I like Petsmart

Clothes: Khol's, Macy's, Target, and sometimes cute thrift/second hand stores

Food: Aldi (discount food store for my main pantry items), Costco for bulk items, Kroger for everyday things (fresh bread, produce,meat)

Household Items- Walmart or Target depending on the item/price / My Patio garden- Lowes & local garden centers

Fun Stuff: Lush Cosmetics, Hobby Lobby, Target


(One trick I've been able to use with most stores are online clubs- you join them for free and then they mail out coupons for things you use often. I've also got a frequent buyers card at our local pet feed store that REALLY helps out on things like food purchases/etc. There are definitely good ways to shop around and find good deals!)

Whole foods, farmers markets, locally owned pet store(s) (not the big box stores), local plant nursery. Can you tell my interests?
