I use to love to go to the mall even though I worked there for 10 years. When the boys were babies I was all about hitting the sales at the Gymboree and Baby Gap. Now not so much. I hate the crowds and hate the prices. I shop the sales on line and if and only if I really need something right away do we g to the mall. I prefer to shop small shops now as well. Little shops with unique things and as you say friendly people!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283260830637529760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-45155400383324814272011-01-11T04:47:07.598-08:002011-01-11T04:47:07.598-08:00What is shopping?

(and you're right - everything looks the same). I need fewer choices, or I can't make a decision. The town where you shop sounds like a perfect place to shop, and I loved your description of chatting with friends, and car horns not blowing because you run into the street to say hi. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-72728277871285892082011-01-09T08:59:00.594-08:002011-01-09T08:59:00.594-08:00Sonny I hear you on the shopping changes.

I'd much rather go to thrift stores, habitat restores, consignment stores, and good will. I do not like the crowds and traffic. <br /><br />We're expecting snow in NE Ga tomorrow night. Maybe we won't have to go in to work Monday.

I only go there if the only thing I can find is there (or when we go to the movies) I do shop at discount stores when I HAVE to, and spend way too much time in Hobby Lobby since it opened. BUT, the majority of shopping I do is online now and I LOVE it!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092297423141848525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-78939238491111558932011-01-08T13:12:06.078-08:002011-01-08T13:12:06.078-08:00HI Sonny,

I mostly food shop at Sam's,target, Walmart, Publix and dollar store these days due to our forced staycation, but love to window shop at Ross, the maxx, HomeGoods and Marshalls and Joann's or Michael's, fun stuff!!<br />Hope your New Year is going well my friend,<br />Blessings for a nice weekend, we are about<br />to go out, we have cabin fever!! lol<br />NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-6792219878746626862011-01-08T12:29:43.580-08:002011-01-08T12:29:43.580-08:00Oh I am definitely a anytime anywhere kinda shoppe...Oh I am definitely a anytime anywhere kinda shopper! I love any and all types. But I couldn't agree with you more about the need for more shoppers to shop the mom and pops businesses. If more people did where I live I probably still have my old job. I would just like to say too that those small stores can't match the prices of the larger retail because they don't pay the same as the big retail stores do for merchandise. So next time you think it's too expensive please keep in mind the owners aren't trying to raise the price to get more from you they are only trying to make a normal profit. I can tell you already know that and I'd love to shop small retail with you anyday! Yes, small owners and townsfolk really are much more personal. You have a great area to shop in too. I've never been up there, but I've heard alot of good things about Salisbury! Have a great day!The Decorative Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279782113691828056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-38786047059172471412011-01-08T10:43:02.740-08:002011-01-08T10:43:02.740-08:00Me too!

Now we live out in the country, there is a Walmart one hour from us, but the nearest mall is about 2-3 hours away. I don't miss it at all...I find such peach and joy in nature and my days are filled and pass so fast...my hubbie is happy too..I wonder shy?!

I will go to a book store or scrapbooking store and maybe Pottery <br />Barn......just have no desire to shop at other retail stores. <br />We have some cute little stores in our village what sounds like where you go to shop. I wish we had more antique stores but they seem to not be making it in this economy.<br />Great post.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477167233858602316.post-20349421836647265442011-01-08T09:55:39.484-08:002011-01-08T09:55:39.484-08:00You are my kind of girl!
