You've won a free, take all you want prize from any shop/store of your choosing, where's it going to be?

Target!
I’m stocking up on food, furniture, household products, makeup, hair stuff, wrapping paper, shoes, clothes… I freaking love that store.

edit: I missed the confines of the mall bit. I know one mall with Target but I think it’s an anomaly. So I’ll say Anthropologie. Beautiful, expensive clothing, home goods, shoes, and accessories. Swoon.

Confines of the mall, eh?

Hmm… that’s tough since my local mall is nearly bankrupt and is now overrun with airbrush t-shirt kiosks and cheap Chinese knick knack shops.

I guess in that case, I’d clear out Spencer’s Gifts and resell all the sex toys on the black market for fun and profit.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Yeah bit of a crappy regulation. Was meant to deter any enormously expensive luxury stuff, you know? Tell you what, seeing as though your local gaffe is, well…the pits, i’m going to let that shit slide, knock yourself out….or not, whichever.

The confines of the mall? Well, at Northpark Mall in Dallas, Texas, there’s a Tiffany’s, and I choose that store. I’m taking every rock in sight!

Probably Trader Joe’s and then I’d hold a cheese tasting party for everyone!

Yeah, I would clean out a jewellery store! Hopefully a big one!!

I’m going with Sears. Furniture, appliances, electronics, clothes, shoes, makeup… Yup, Sears.

REI.

Sam Ash!

I would take out everything from Macy’s, JC Penneys, or some other bullshit department store, and donate all of that stuff to the Salvation army a thrift store or a homeless shelter.

An electrical store. Computers, laptops, games consoles, TVs, digital cameras etc, for me and all my geeky, gadget-loving friends.

Harrod’s

And I am buying these—one of each. Also some tea, and spotted dick (just because I want the packaging) and clothes.

@marinelife Fortnam and Masons would be good too, thinking about tea.

Hee hee about the spotted dick. It’s a dessert right?

@Kardamom A pudding.

‘Bottle shop please driver’

To a lot of Jelly’s disgust, it’d probably be walmart. There’s the biggest variety of stuff, so I could get stuff for my parents, my little sister, and me all at once. Walmart stuff really isn’t that bad.

@marinelife I always laughed at the line in Dicken’s Christmas Carol, “every idiot who goes about with a ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”—Scrooge.

Pudding is a whole different thing in the States than it is in England. Yummy, nonetheless!

Best Buy/Magnolia TV and Stereo – most complete advanced home theater system possible.

@Kardamom what does pudding refer to in the US?

@downtide Here is an example. it is a sweet dessert.

I should say a store that contains necessities, like clothes or food…
But I’m going to say Hobby Lobby instead. Or possibly Michael’s Art Supply.

@downtide It has the consistency of custard, so it’s creamy, and is usually has a dairy base, rather than eggs. The most common flavors are vanilla and chocolate, and then there’s rice pudding and tapioca pudding, which are usually vanilla flavored, but have the addition of those grains, making it have a texture (which some people love and some people hate).

Here’s a site that shows what typical chocolate pudding looks like with a recipe. And here’s one for tapioca pudding, so you can see how the texture looks slightly lumpier.

I would get 2 new high end graphic cards and some RAM

…but what store would you want them from @ragingloli?

There are two malls in the next city, so i have the choice between either mediamarkt or saturn. coinflip

Burlington Mall is three miles from me. They have an Apple Store.

I’d keep a couple items for myself (my iMac died over a year ago) and sell the rest on eBay.

Best Buy. I’d get all the electronics, TV’s, computers, movies, washer/dryers, sweepers, etc.
And hopefully a geek squad guy thrown in to show me how to use it all.

ooh bad prize to give me
I’d take the local Future Shop…. the building and everything in it.

@chyna Yes! A cute Geek Squad guy would be even better than the electronics, themselves. Especially if they had one that looked like a young Paul McCarney.

just sayin’

GA Hawaii Jake !! Grab those diamonds and rubies!!

I am buying everything at Brooklyn Industries.

My local bank is in the shopping centre – could I clean that out?

House of Fraser I suppose :)

I’m with @Likeradar . I love Anthropologie. It’s definitely my favorite store. Other than that, I would pick Babies R Us (so I could finally buy all the toys I want for my son) or Musician’s Friend (for my hubby)

Layne Bryant, or Macy’s… I would prefer both!

Well, if the luxury stores are out then I’d probably hit up Fry’s partly for the same reasons that some would hit up Best Buy. Also, they have some cool stuff (mostly tools) that Best Buy lacks, and a far better selection of PC components and accessories.

Unlike Best Buy, they don’t unabashedly fund anti-gay political candidates, and unlike some others here, I not only have no use for Geek Squad™, but hold a small amount of contempt for them as I generally know more than they do and get a bit pissed when they assume otherwise. It’s rare that you run into ine that even knows what Linux is :P

Mountain Equipment Co-Op. I’d take everything I could and dispense it to the homeless.

You guys, if you have gold,diamonds, rubies, and emeralds you can sell them and do a lot more for yourself and causes.

@faye The purpose of money is to buy stuff, so why not skip the middle-man?

Oh, never fear, I want to keep some of the jewellery.

The diamond merchant – as many as I could carry.

Some sort of sporting goods store or a military surplus store.

Meijers. They have everything. I would clear out the electronics section, the ammo desk, and load up a trailer in the lawn and garden, get groceries for a month, clean out the liquor dept and the lobster tank.

I was thinking along the lines of jewelry as well, then I thought of all the fresh, new, clean pastels I would have if I raided the art supplies store. I don’t even draw!

Please can I say the Cher merchandise shop in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas? It’s not technically in the mall but by the same token it’s hardly wiping out a car dealership either. Pretty please?!?!

@Leanne1986 You rock! This is the best answer so far! : – ) Maybe I’ll bring over some of my cheese from Trader Joe’s and we’ll have a Cher party. Can we invite Chazz, though? He seems like he needs a little lovin’.

@Leanne1986 Well being my question i’m going to assume you’re asking me. Sure you can, go for it. I hear they’re selling face lifts, tummy tucks & a free nose…on a first come first served basis you understand.

@Kardamom I’m always up for a Cher party! I even have a Turn Back Time outfit!!! And of course Chaz can come :)

@ucme A free nose is very appealing if I’m honest!

@Leanne1986 Not to be sniffed at :¬)
