Gerelateerde afbeeldingAisha, 32
I like shopping, but it depends on who I go with. Trying to shop with young children is a nightmare! I don't like shopping with my husband either because he's always in a hurry, and worries about spending money. But shopping with friends is fun, and I like going on my own too. My favorite shops is a clothing shop.

Simon, 28Afbeeldingsresultaat voor simon student
I don't really enjoy grocery shopping. In fact, it's a pain! I find it stressful because I'm always afraid of making mistakes.  But I don't mind going with my girlfriend because she helps me choose. I think women are better at grocery shopping than men. They are better cooks in general.

Ivan, 30Afbeeldingsresultaat voor ivan
I'm not interested in shopping at all - in fact, I hate it. I always order the stuff I need online. However, I like to go to an electronics shops once in a while.


Afbeeldingsresultaat voor rose studentRosa, 24
I love shopping, but not on a Saturday or during the sales, when the shops are really crowded. I prefer shopping alone. Buying things often takes me a long time because I never buy the first thing I see. I always look around other shops to see if I can find the same thing cheaper. I'm quite good at finding a bargain. I hate shopping in large supermarkets and prefer buying food in small shops like a bakery and a butcher.

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor grandpaPeter, 68
I think shopping is a waste of time. My wife does all of my shopping.

The only shop I visit every week is the florist to buy flowers for my wife.
