Same here. I was thrilled when I found a pair of shoes at the first stop a few weeks ago.

I like food shopping and buying stuff for my home, both indoor and outdoor. I also do well buying cosmetics and making regular appointments for hair, etc. But I cannot stand buying clothes. My idea of shopping is breezing through a store, picking stuff off the rack that looks good to me, buying it, trying it on at home and returning most of it.

I limit my clothing purchases to a few online retailers (Eileen Fisher, Gudrun Sjoden, L.L. Bean) and Lands End for swimsuits.

By limiting your retailers, you learn the particular fit of each one, and pieces easily coordinate with each other. My return rate is probably less than 5%.

The only time I buy something in an actual store is when I'm bra-shopping. Still have to try those on in person!

I do. I hate shopping. I hate looking for things I need and not finding it. It's really annoying to cloth shop and not find things in your size. How hard can it be. It's not like I am huge or anything.
That is why I buy most things on Amazon.

I mainly ONLINE order from Nordstrom, Macy's, Express, & HSN. I don't limit it on purpose. Those are just the main ones I seem to online order from the most. I can pretty much pinpoint my sizing as well as I know of a couple of shoe brands that I'm confident to order without trying them on 1st & I know they'll fit well! I've even ordered a new bra style or two ONLINE & it fit like a glove.

I abhor shopping in any form except books online since there are no libraries here. Even then, have to limit myself to the free or 99 cent deals. I read too fast!

Hate clothes shopping/shoes/groceries. DH enjoys it so he often goes grocery shopping with the other guys without me! LOL. When they are going to the big malls, I beg off.

Not sure why. It all just bores me or frustrates me....now researching vacations CAN be fun, sometimes.

I'd rather be beaten than go shopping.

I see these women just wandering around the grocery store, fingering this and that, clearly bored out of their minds.

Don't they have something else to do?

How about make a list and send their husbands instead?
