For the shopping experience, I've started to enjoy Costco...the samples, the randomness, it's just fun, and there is usually a good deal.

I like to shop the most at Target. Usually I buy household items and snacks
there because they are cheaper and usually have good deals. In an enjoyable
shopping experience I look for good customer service, high quality items,
good sales, promotions and a clean environment.

I like to shop at Target in person because there is something for every member of the family. Online Amazon is my favorite store.

I don't shop much but I'm a sucker for thrift shops. I love it when I find something I need for a rock bottom price that would have otherwise ended up occupying landfill. Plus if I change my mind I don't have to discard it, I know I can donate it back to the place I bought it.

I usually go to Barnes & Noble. I tend to buy magazines, usually as a substitute for actually doing something, like knitting. Only I call it "research."

As much as I love to shop at local stores, I actually prefer bigger national department stores. The layout is usually consistent, the return policies are similar, and they usually have a restroom!

I've moved to mostly online shopping for stores that are in my area so that I can try things on and return them to the store. I also use shop runner a lot so I can return items for free. Most of it is clothing from Kohls and lord an taylor.

The best are harvest season farmers' markets. Finding locally grown food that can be frozen, canned, or eaten as is is awesome (so is paying the farmer directly)!

Amazon. We buy stuff from salad dressing (variety that is no longer sold in local grocery stores) to college books to a new timing belt kit for my Honda to a new mattress and drinking water hose for our camper to a pet food container, etc.

Tjmaxx. Small, friendly, boutique-ish. Love them.

Honestly I love shopping at Amazon the most. I can get my orders in two days (sometimes sooner) I generally have store credit I can use and no hassles whatsoever!

Actually, I do most of my shopping on Amazon. Since I cannot drive or walk even short distances because of my lung cancer, I love that Amazon brings it right to my door!

Amazon. For everything.

Amazon.com (I have Prime), Macy's (quality goods at reasonable prices and killer clearance sales.), Marshall's (I love their home goods dept.), consignment stores (for really good stuff at low prices.)

BTW...I find some of these entries questionable...as if they were written by one of the stores' employees.

TJ Maxx is my favorite place to shop because they usually have anything I'm looking for-clothing, shoes, home décor, beauty products, etc. and you can't beat the prices for the quality you're getting.

Target, Amazon, and Zulily!

I like to shop at places that save me money, like Aldi. Or department stores that put out good coupons.

I like to shop at thrift stores because often you find unique items at a reasonable price. For the items you just can't get at a thrift store, Amazon is great - huge selection, good prices, and lots of reviews to learn about the products. My one window shopping weakness is Bed Bath & Beyond. I love to look at all the kitchen wares and appliances there.

Consignment shops/thrift stores are great for hidden finds. Retail shopping for me is done at Macy's and Dillard's, especially when traveling around the great United States; if something doesn't wear or wash well both stores stand behind their merchandise. I also love to shop at boutiques and airport clothing stores. They feature things you won't see yourself in every place you go. As far as groceries go, Publix is the best if you're lucky enough to have one in your area.

Clearance sections! My favorites are Marshall's, TJMaxx, Banana Republic, Anthroplogie, and Ann taylor to name a few.

I like to shop at Target the best. I can find everything from groceries to clothes to items for our home there and they are usually very reasonably priced. They always have a sufficient number of check out lanes open (as opposed to Walmart) also.

It depends on what I am shopping for, it could be walmart for groceries and household items, to target for some clothing and hh items, or pennys for just clothing.

I like shopping at Costco. Free samples plus I can get groceries, clothes, electronics and even everything I need for my pets.

I'm a big fan of Amazon - online shopping is a godsend when working long hours and wanting to spend weekends just relaxing! Amazon Prime is definitely a great investment if you shop often and want to get your items quickly. I also like grocery shopping at Publix. Prices are a little more expensive than other grocery stores, but I like their business model of giving employees shares/ownership of the company so I'm willing to spend a little more.

Target. When they have good deals, it's awesome. (I'm still learning not to be tempted by the just-30%-off aisle end caps, though!)
