Give Me 5 Monday!

The 'Give Me Five' Monday meme (sponsored by Becca) is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here's how it works. Each week, Becca will put out a random topic from her list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back to her! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn't have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.

Give Me Five pet peeves or dislikes associated with shopping.

1) I do not like crowds. I usually do my shopping online or BEFORE Thanksgiving. (I know, I am a freak.)

2) I don't mind spending money if I know the person is going to like the gift. I do mind spending money if it is just a guess.

3) I do not like pushy people. If there is going to be a fight over an item to be purchased, I will walk away. Ick!

4) I do not like shopping with another person. Their opinion usually influences me to not buy what I want to buy and I have to go back! ;)

5) I don't like shopping with my kiddos either. It is difficult to think and get in that gift-buying mindset when they are "helping". I love my kids dearly but I do not like to shop with them!

:) Happy Shopping!

This is great!!! I love that you are willing to give up when confronted with a pushy shopper...it's gracious and I wish more shoppers would be this way!

I love your #4! LOL I love that you will let the person think they convinced you not to buy something then you go back to get it anyway, girl just tell them, leave me alone, I'm buying it, it's my moolah! LOL
Great GM5 list, thanks for participating!!

Great list! There are definitely times that I want to shop alone, but then other times I enjoy having company. I guess it depends on why I'm shopping and what for. :)

I love buying online and praise be for gift cards! LOL! I know that if I give a niece or nephew a gift card, they'll get exactly what their heart desires! It makes me a popular auntie! :)

I agree, shopping alone is the BEST. No one to tell me, "that is too expensive" or the opposite, no kids running up and down aisles asking for everything (even if they already have it). Peace and shopping, my therapy!

I agree with you on #2 and #5!!! My 15 year old is always finding things he wants. Then my boyfriend is always showing me car stuff (that I could care less about), when he's not doing that, he thinks he's "helping" but he's not...at all.
