Do you ever go shopping with your S/O?

I do, he carries my bags sometimes. Or tells me what not to buy when I don’t need it.

I love shopping with her! We have a lot of fun.

I don’t have a SO to go shopping with. But I suppose I would.

Yep. It’s fun. We spent a lot of time going in a bunch of stores in Las Vegas and Virginia City on our last trip to Nevada. It’s just fun to shop for anything in general with him, even if I do like clothes a little more than he does.

Oh my god we spent all day shopping together yesterday – I got a work wardrobe, he got a couple of pieces for his steampunk wardrobe..and the infant was with us too…neither of us likes shopping but we love shopping together

Yes, my girl and me do shop together every once in a while.
Although it tires me (i get painfull shoulders, i don’t know why though, it’s not as if i carry heavy bags or stuff), i also like it.
What i maybe like the best about shopping though is to see men who so obviously don’t like it.
You’ll find them waiting outside the shop, with 3 to 6 full bags dangling from their hands, looking annoyed.

All the time. I enjoy it. Except for Ross. Can’t stand that place.

All the time. I love shopping for woman’s clothing, especially lingerie and shoes.

Yes, my SO is my Platinum Visa card

All the time! We go to Whole Foods and Trader Joes and Jewel Osco and the Farmer’s Market. And both of us try to keep most of our shopping to grocery shopping anyway. Other shopping we do separately. And usually online.

We both love to cook, and are both interested in the same movies/art, so, when it comes to those things we’re fine. Our taste differs when it comes to fashion and decorating, but, we always tend to have a good time together no matter what we’re doing, so, that’s relatively painless. Now, picking out lingerie/toys for each other (with one another) is always a good time.

I’ve more enjoyed the ones who like to shop with me.

I hate shopping so I avoid it all costs.

I often drag my partner out shopping with me. He hates the malls the most though.

Grocery shopping we always do together and he loves that but the only way to get him to the mall is to bribe him with the games store * giggle *

wait…im allowed not to?

Can’t stand it otherwise. As Six Feet Under put it, life is a series of unpleasant errands. It’s great to have someone to do them with.

@wildpotato or pleasant errands

It depends on what we’re shopping for. I find that most women I’ve known don’t really like shopping for computer equipment while I typically don’t like shopping for handbags which is an excursion I’ve taken been on before.

If you’re a woman who likes shopping for PC parts, call me. We’ll go out. I’ll meet you in the hardware aisle

@The_Compassionate_Heretic dirty

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Nerdy maybe…

Yes, not always.

We both hate shopping, so we each take part of the burden and let the other person do something else. On occasion, when there’s nothing else for it, we go shopping together. However, I think we’d both prefer dental surgery without novacaine to shopping.

@DominicX has promised to be my personal shopper, which makes me endlessly happy!

My S/O loves to shop with me, he rolls through the store and picks out lots of things for me to try on, then he gives me feedback when I model for him. It is an entirely new experience for me after being married for twenty years to a guy who didn’t even notice when I cut 10 inches off my hair! I love ever second of it!

We do most of the house shopping together. As far as shopping for our own personal items, I dislike shopping with my wife. Neither of us really like to shop, but she’s way worse than me. If I look at one item for too long I can feel her begin to get anxious. I just send her to another store now.

BORING. Women and men shop for different things.. unless there is a metro-sexual involved. That and my wife loves to shop.. whereas I prefer to just get what I need and leave.

The exceptions are food shopping and home improvement shopping. We enjoy those together.

When I shop alone, I look for sales. I don’t splurge. I buy healthy food, comfortable clothes at reasonable prices, things I can use on a daily basis. For example, the purse I use for day-to-day is old, ratty, and cost less than ten bucks at Target…six years ago. I have one pair of sandals, one pair of sneakers, one pair of black “going out” shoes, and one pair of brown mocs that I pretty much wear all fall and winter. When I buy for the kids, I get things that can mix and match, are on sale, and will last them through the season (or get handed down to the next kid). So, you get an idea of my shopping style.

I love, love, love shopping with my husband because he makes me live a little. He ignores price tags, makes me go into stores I’d normally pass up because the prices are higher, and has a better eye for style than I do. At the grocery store, he tosses what looks good to him into the cart without looking at how much it costs or what the ingredients are. He literally forces me to splurge, and I only put up a token resistence. It’s so much fun. Luckily for our kids’ future college educations, we don’t go shopping together often. All of the nicer things I have were gifts from him, like my leather boots, my “good” handbag, my favorite outfits for wearing out to dinner. Once he got me this beautiful leather wallet (and it has a designer name but hell if I can think of it now), that I normally carry around in my cheap Target purse, haha! When he buys things for the kids, he’ll go into each store and pick up whatever he things looks best. He has no concept of kid-friendly colors (a WHITE Ralph Lauren shirt for a 4 year old? Are you kidding me?), sales, normal prices on kids’ clothing, etc. However, the kids look darn good in the things he picks out. I try to be the voice of reason, and sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. I think shopping with him would be less fun if it happened more often, but since we only get out shopping alone together once or twice a year at most, I get to fully enjoy it and then go back to being my frugal, practical self.

My wife and I shop together all the time. I think I might have an over-developed shopping gene. Grocery shopping, clothes shopping, electronics, pet supplies, yard sales, flea markets, jewelry stores, and little out of the way shops, we do everything together. In fact, I sort of hate going shopping alone. I refuse to do yard sales or flea markets alone. It’s just so much more fun with her.

Oooh, @DominicX, will you shop for me too? Any year is a good year if I have managed to get from one end of it to the other without setting foot in a mall.

Whenever we’re together we go shopping. It’s fun :)

@Jeruba

But malls are the best…

I will gladly do it! :P

Definitely! But we are 2 gay guys and shopping = life. :)

We like going shopping together, and sometimes go ‘fake shopping’ because we’re bored. We’ll look at furniture or TVs for when we have the money for them.

He’s great for clothes shopping. I’ll pick a few clothes, try them on to see what he thinks, and while I’m in the dressing room he’ll bring me more that he likes or think I would like. The only bad thing is that he doesn’t look at price tags.

I hate shopping in general so if I can avoid going then I will. However, I don’t mind him coming along if I really have to go because we both feel the same way about it. We don’t browse we just go in, get what we need and go home!

Get in, get it, and get out. That’s how we shop too, when there’s no way to avoid it.

@Jeruba Thank goodness for online shopping that’s what I say. I very rarely have to physically go to the shops these days (although I still make a point of doing my grocery shopping the old fashioned way!)
