Do you like Shopping ?

[starrysky]

Also does anyone know how much peanut butter M&M s are as I love them and they quite expensive here , so might be bringing some home for Xmas . Hoping they have them at the airport on the way home .

Can't exactly remember the cost but I know they don't seem to sell them in the m&m shops. We go to the Cvs in the Florida mall and buy all of our candy there.
Shopping wise I love Victoria's Secret I can spend a small fortune in there.
Otherwise I have a large collection of hotel soaps etc
We buy a fridge magnet and we have a collection of the decorative number plates that we have on display in our kitchen.
I have to buy a soft toy (I'm 33) bought the cutest set of kissing frogs from the princess and the frog movie, I have a hippo from animal kingdom and various others.
Last year we bought a set of haunted mansion prints which were signed by Larry Dalton personally to us.
And more clutter than I care to imagine

Another one who hates shopping signing in, but .......

We do always take empty suitcases that we bring back full . We just save up our 'needs' list and buy stuff in the USA just because it seems easier to do it that way! Sometimes I wonder how these shopping Malls make money - they never seem as crowded as the ones at home

We always travel PE or CW and so have a large luggage allowance and I stock up on stuff like bedding and towels. DH buys tons of books and sometimes tools Northern Tools on Sand Lake is a Mecca for him. I've been known to bring back quite a few bags of Ghiradelli chocs, pancake mix and syrup and chocolate chip cookie mix (which only last week I shamelessly passed off as my own when receiving lots of praise - they were warm ). I also buy Ziplock bags and containers.

Every time we go, I always protest that I don't want to buy stuff this time, but DH insists we take extra cases just in case. Never brought one back empty yet .

Have to admit.... I am a merchandiser's dream come true

I can't come off a ride and walk through its giftshop without stopping and looking at everything- even if I've seen it all before!! I spend all of my spending money on complete tat... and wouldn't have it any other way!!

Also, can't resist those big discount stores on International Drive, like the ones attached to Ponderosa Steakhouses!

Somehow, dollars don't feel like real money, because I am used to GBP, any other Britons feel this way? I just use this excuse to justify my ridiculous purchases

I hate shopping normally especially clothes and shoes in our house are the taboo words when it comes to shopping. The boys take sizes 13 and 14 in shoes and I take a 9/ 10 which are not that easy to find here in womens shops, although better than it used to be. So we always bring back 3 or more pairs each! Jeans for the boys are alot easier to find in 30" waist 37" inside leg than here, in the UK you have to be at least 34/6" waist to get 37" Inside leg, and the boys would both need a belt with 30" so that show how skinny they are - but the down side is they both HATE shopping so we have to be crafty ie going to the apple shop at the Florida Mall via Macey's

This year I have already been given a list of things the boys want us to bring them back and instructions to take my ipad to the converse outlet and email back pictures of the shoes in their sizes!!!

Forgot to add that I also hit the sewing/craft shops - DH is never impressed when I bring home sewing patterns! but they are so cheap, last year I bought a dozen, some fabric and a new pair of shears!!! I wish we had a Joanne fabrics or even a Micheals or two here (although I think DH is somewhat relieved that we don't

I absolutely hate shopping in Florida. It is a chore for me and feels like a complete waste of time when I could be doing other more enjoyable activities. Don't even like stocking up on villa supplies etc at the likes of Walmart

Unfortunately, I have travelling companions who love to shop and as I am the driver I will have to go too

We head to Milton Keynes shopping every now and then - we are just half hour further south.

Well, Laura, when you are next in this direction, PM me and we can meet up!
