Stores

What kind of stores do you like to browse in?
Bookstores? Hardware stores? Gardening? Cookware? Malls? Clothing? Thrift?........or do you hate shopping and browsing all together?
I could easily spend a few hours (like I ever HAVE a few hours......LOL!!!) in a bookstore! So could my husband! That does make it nice when we go on a trip out of town because if we discover a bookstore (especially used books) we both want to stop!! I also like going downtown to Goodwill to shop for bargains!!

hugs,train

On a good day when there is nothing to do I love to go antiqing.
I love old things.
Love craft stores. Could spend many hours looking at new things to make. Or things my kids would like to make.
I also like book stores.
If I had money to spend I would probably go more often.

I love antiquing and have even converted dh the "anti-shopper". And you never know what you can find in a hardware store, there is always a suprise waiting for me, something that needed me to take it home

Target is the store of my choice. I could stay there all day. And sometimes secondhand stores are good, but I don't like goodwill at all.

I like target too. Bummer we don't have one close by(within100 miles). Goodwill prices have gone up but I get a lot of faux wooden skilets, wood plaques, breadboards and other wood and glass to paint on pretty cheap. I also collect baskets and get a few there on 1/2 off day. I really think it depends what you are looking for and which goodwill you go to. I was only in a
Tarket store once but thoughly enjoyed it. Right now, all the stores in our area seem to be downsizing or going out of business. Walmart and Peebles are the only two dept. stores in our town. Our Ames went out, Hungers(office supply), a lot of little speciality shops and now Bi Lo food market is going too.

Barnes and Nobles...i used to sit in there for hours looking at books...
Walmart...that's also where i met my sweetie...
Bed Bath and Beyond...i love home decorating...
KB Toys...okay that's one self explanatory...

now for my dislikes
Clothes...anything to do w/clothes...it's hard for me to find any that well actually fit...i find the right waist size then have to have them all hemmed up so the length could fit me...ugh...or i find the right leg length and the waist is to big...i think they should make stupid clothes stores for shorties like me...i'm glad i'm not shorter...how ppl shorter than me do it...heck i'm 22 and sometimes have to go to limited 2 to find the clothes i need...sorry about the ranting...but ugh...it gets frustrating...
