Where do you shop?

WallyWorld (wal-mart) I don't really like it that much but with only $850.00 US a month I have to really watch my pennies. I shop alot at the Thrift and second hand stores also. Being a man thoiugh for me shopping is more a chore than a fun thing...lol

Places that get all my money : Yankee Candle, Bath and Body Works and QVC, Hallmark Store

I avoid shopping like the plague.
I only go to Petco (Petsmart if Petco doesn't have what I need), Smith's (Kroger) for small food items, and Costco for everything else.

shop??? What's that?

I forgot a store...........PETSMART!!! lol I go at lease once a week.

For groceries, I have a bunch delivered by Longo's every two weeks, and pick up the little things I need in between at either Loblaws or Dominion (prefer Loblaws, but Dominion is right next door, so it probably gets more of my business).

I buy my pet supplies at Global Pet Foods (a small chain, for my cat food, I think they're the only place in the city that sells it) and Petsmart (for everything else).

I buy the majority of my clothes at Club Monaco, the Gap and Banana Republic.

My iPod, laptop and TV all came from Future Shop, and that's where I buy the majority of my electronics.

All of my furniture and most of my household stuff are from IKEA. Any household stuff I can't get there comes from Canadian Tire.

I spend an obscene amount of money on drinks at the Second Cup.

For shampoo/conditioner/body wash/vitamins/prescription drugs, etc. I always shop at PharmaPlus (because they have airmiles!).

On the other hand, I boycott Wal-Mart and Starbucks.

Oh, and I live in Toronto, ON, in a highly urban area, for context.

Shopping? You mean for me?

Walmart, Target, and shops in the mall are all good with me.

For my furbabies, Petsmart is always a favorite, but its far away.

We go to Petco (its closet) and Pet Supply, which is a small store I go to for fun...and you know I can't leave a petstore empty handed.

We shop at New World for groceries.

We shop at North City Plaza Mega Centre(Which as a K-mart) for everything else. Including pet supplies. (It's a whole bunch of little shops!)

I do most of my shopping on the Internet! Seriously, though, when I'm really looking for something, there are so few stores in my town that I depend on Stuttgart's pedestrian shopping precinct, which has a mixture of department stores and smaller retailers. I work just about three blocks away, so it's really convenient.

I absolutley hate shopping, if i do go anywhere, i go in get what i need and get out.

Most of my shopping now is done over the internet. It cuts out having to avoid dealing with mean people also.

Groceries i get at the Commissary on base. And i get all of my alcohol at Class Six/BX. Those are the only two I really dont mind going to.

I like big lots, a store near me called gabriel brothers (irregular & closeouts at amazing prices), bed bath & beyond, New York & Co, Aeropostale, and *hides face* I do like WalMart But I hate the effect on America.

I have a couple of consignment stores that I like: Twice As Nice and Buffalo Exchange. They carry better-quality resale.

Fourth Avenue is lined with funky boutiques and vintage stores but, its hard to find anything, larger than a size 12.

I can sometimes find good stuff, at Goodwill or the Salvation Army stores. With them, it depends upon which neighborhood that they're in. At one near my house, all blouses are $1.99 and dresses are $3.99. My friend Jennifer outfits all four of her sons there.

The only other department store we have here in Garfield really is Kmart and BigLots. What are the names of the places you shop? I know Susan told me about Primark in the UK. What about the rest of you?

Walmart is awesome.. I love it.. When we lost Kmart I was so upset.. It was like the best store to shop.. Great bargains and a lay-a-way plan.. When Walmart was built YIPPPPPEEEE you're right.. Its a great store.. I get lots of great stuff from there.. Great prices and that lay-a-way plan is perfect.

I live in Jersey (the mall state) so I've got about 5 major malls within 15-30 minutes from me. Most of my money lately though has been going to Target for house hold stuff, movies, cds (5 minutes from my house or there's one 5 minutes from work) & Mandee's for clothes and shoes. My fave mall stores are American Eagle, Express, & Aeropostale.
I've never been a fan of Walmart or Kmart - all the ones around here are kinda dirty and disorganized. Plus, there's always been a Target around for the past 10 years to go to that was closer.

Groceries: Safeway, IGA or the locals -- Choices, Capers, Stong's; things that can be bought in quantity and stored: Costco; awesome breads: Cobs, Terra.

Cat stuff: Tisol or Pet Food'n' More; occasionally Petcetera.

General household stuff: The Bay, Sears, Zellers, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, IKEA, Costco.

Clothes: The Bay, Jay Set, assorted consignment shops; shoes: Ronsons, almost exclusively.

Pharmacy/Cosmetics/small appliances/electronics: London Drugs.

What did I miss?

I know what I missed! An absolute boycott of WalMart, for reasons already stated by others.

We've managed to keep WalMart out of most of Los Angeles area, and like others I'm not to into the company.

I still frequent Target sometimes, but trying to move away from it.

I'm not much of a shopper anyway. Never had much money growing up so I didn't really get the concept (you go out and do WHAT?). I like used books, and of course pet stores are impossible to avoid.

Wow, very interesting guys!!!

I also boycott Walmart.
FYI for you Walmart boycotting warehouse shoppers, Sam's Club is Walmart owned.

All of my furniture has come from local stores: Sam Levitz, Bargain Center and Discount Furniture. Our washer, dryer, stove and refrigerator all came from local stores, too. The new TV was from Best Buy.

For groceries, I alternate between Fry's (Kroger to the rest of the country) and Albertson's - it depends on which one has the most sale items, each week.

We only have one K-Mart and I rarely go in there. Depending upon which part of town, Ross has some good stuff and I shop Old Navy, a bit. Mervyn's has cute clothes, for the twins.
