I just recently went to Ikea for the first time and I wandered through there for about 2 hours. I could have spent longer if I was not with someone else who does not particularly like to shop. I wish Ikea was located more conveniently to me so I could go there about every few months, but it is a good hour through some heavy traffic and unfamiliar areas.
What store do you like to wander for entertainment or just to take up some time? How much time do you usually spend when you visit this store?
-
Target! I can spend a lot of time in there!
-
After working in retail for almost 20 years, i do not like to go into a store and just wander around. Get in get what i want and get out. Hubby loves it. Because i am in and out as fast as i can be. I don't like the crowds nor just senseless wandering around. Now my sis can go into a store and be in there a long time just doing that. need;ess tp say she and i do not go shopping together.
-
I like Menards .... I'm love DIY projects and tools !
-
Barnes and Noble bookstore. I love to read, and I can never get enough books! Sometimes, I will go into Barnes and Noble and just browse around all the books and see what inspires me.
-
Target... But, I just got hooked on Hobby Lobby, that is a fun store to walk around. Such cute stuff!
-
I have been wanting to go there too. My daughter went and she loved it. Where I live we don't have one. :-\
-
I like Ikea too, the showroom is nice to walk through and the marketplace is filled with things that I didn't know I need until I see them XD
My favorite type of store to wander around in is garden nursery. It's especially nice right now with all the blooming flowers!
-
I tend to wonder online stores more than brick and mortar ones.my favorite brick one is Job lot (it is closest to me)My Favorite online are qvc and amazon :rainbow: :peace: :wave:
-
I too love to wander through Ikea. I even like the basement of that store where all the stuff is stored on huge shelving. But other stores I love just to walk through are Costco and BJ's. It is so much fun to see what is new on the market in foods and electronics. The bakery and meat departments are special favorites there.
-
I would say walmart for me since I live near one not too far.
-
Local garden center is the only one that holds my attention.
Hate crowds, and have very little cash to spend. I generally make it quick.
However, the garden center does keep me in the aisles for a good amount of time.
Do love to garden, my happy place.
:rose:
-
I enjoy browsing a good Garden Center. I love the flowers and blooming trees. I'm looking for some bushes that will attract butterflies this year.
-
Oh gosh - that sounds like a trip I went on last night. My intent was to go to Michaels....as I had a gift card to use. I ended up hitting JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby and Home depot too. Hobby Lobby is probably my favorite to wander.
-
Yes, I like some of the places mentioned here too. Ikea was new and different and I can tell I could spend 3-4 hours there every 2-3 months. However, Barnes and Noble, nurseries, and stores like Menard's and Lowe's have been known to keep me there for quite some time. Sometimes it's just nice to wander aimlessly, daydream, and get away from home.
-
Home Depot, oddly. I dunno, I just like to see the... ingredients of stuff, I guess you'd say. Ikea is ok for a while but then you're sorta trapped for longer than I want to be in there.
-
the mall and then go to the riverwalk.
-
I would love to wander in stores but the only one I get to wander in is our local grocery store.
I'd probably go nuts if I went to Ikea. I see their ads and wish I could get some of their products because I love being organized and I've seen so many products I could incorporate into my home.
-
Love Ikea too but Target is my favorite but I rarely walk out with nothing! :)

-
I don't have a favorite store to wander around. I shop in stores and depending on what I need out of certain stores.
-
I like IKEA; though the European versions are nicer.... also Target is a cool place to go and "waste" some time... and money...
All these places... it is impossible to wander without spending any money at all, right?? :D
-
Probably Target.
-
i like dyi stores,,,i like to dream,,,,,,,
-
Any bookstores and art supply stores will lure me in like a fish caught in a bait. As far as time is concern, I have no idea how long I will spend my time in there when time is no longer important, especially when you are enjoying yourself.
-
I like Lowes or Menards, but only if the wife isn't with me :) If shes along, she will find and expensive and time consuming project I wasn't there to shop for. lol
-
Home Goods or TJ Maxx!
-
There are a few that I would like wander in like Best Buy or Lowes. But I refuse to do that because I am scared I might end up buying something!
-
I love to immerse myself in a bookstore. Barnes & Noble is one of my favorites and Half Price Books another.
-
IKEA can occupy me for quite a while along with Michaels. Places like Target/Walmart use to, but I skip a lot nowadays as I frequent so often.
-
I like walking through kohls. There is always something there that I would like to get even if I don't need it.
-
If I'm going to wander I would rather be in Books a Million book store.
-
I can wander around Walmart for quite a bit. I call it the Walmart Time Warp. I enter and before I know it 2 hours have gone by.
-
Walmart always has the weirdo to watch
-
Once upon a time there was an Ann & Hope I use to love going to with my Mom. Now that that is gone I enjoy Target !
-
Garden Centers
-
Cabela's...................... :in-love:
-
Walmart here is extremely large, I call it shopping exercise. Don't even forget something, lol
-
I love craft stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I also can spend time in Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy.
-
I give up doing that many years ago. But my wife and mother in law are like the 2 wanderers of the world. Hahaha. They can tend to spend more than 3 hours at a store so I would either not go or just find a seat in the store or bench in a store area and wait for them to come find me.
-
Nick nack stores
-
Right now I would have to say that Target is my favorite store to walk around in.
-
Barnes and Noble! And the Disney Store, lol.
-
I would say Walmart. I really don't shop there but my girlfriend does and I just go along for the ride. If we did not go to Walmart when we got together, I think something might be wrong.lol ;D
-
I sometimes enjoy wandering around Home Goods, to see what unique items are available.
-
I'd say Walmart, music stores and books stores.
-
I prefer Wal-Mart and Victoria's Secret (LOL). I can be in either of those stores for at least 30 minutes.
-
Put me in a book store of any kind or a craft store and I can spend hours browsing. Other than that I really do not enjoy shopping very much.
-
I wander thru all stores when my back allows it. I like window shopping to get away from all the stresses in my life.
-
I don't like wandering in any store, but I sure do LOVE to browse through shopping sites on-line!! :D Etsy & Ebay are two favorites.
-
None,i don't like them.
-
Pier 1 Imports, Bed bath and Beyond or any store that has a home goods/furniture department. :heart:
-
I always well mostly go to Frys and wander around to see if there are anything I want that is on sale or just to check out whats new.
-
Like others, I'm not into Brick and mortar stores anymore. Love to click around Amazon. But one of my favorite stores is Kohls. Also, like others, I enjoy garden centers.
-
I would say the apple store is the best to see all new technology
-
I do not like wandering in stores. I like to find the stuff I need and go straight home. But sometimes I do like to wander in grocery stores especially the ones that offer samples to try.
-
I love going to Walmart and Target, those are my two favorite stores to wander in, because you can find lots of great stuff to buy.
-
I like craft stores for wandering. I don't buy much, just look at all the interesting supplies and tools I'd get if I were rich. I also like sporting goods stores, if they have a lot of guns and hunting stuff. Gander Mountain was my favorite, but they just went out of business not long ago.
-
yap ikea it is so much fun
-
cvs and att
-
I can wander through Lowes or Walmart for hours. I like to look. I hate to shop So If I am at one jof these places its because I have to be there,,, so I will wander around forever looking around
-
I'm not a store wanderer I like to have my list and get in and out as quickly as possible
-
I love best buy, Michael's, hobby lobby, JcPenny, Target and Walmart.
-
I don't do much wandering in stores now because I have arthritis in both knees and it hurts so much to walk, but I guess Wal-Mart is the one store that I do go into the most.
-
I got to two stores: Costco (because it doesn't deliver produce) and King Soopers because it is completely dead at ten thirty in the evening on Wednesdays when the produce comes in. I plan out my trips completely based on what I will be cooking for the next two weeks so I do not wander in the store and kill valuable time or become influenced to buy something that I do not need. My wife loves to wander and ends up buying things that we do not need: solar lights for around the fire pit; flowers; Umbrellas every six weeks (because she does not take care of the ones she has). I do my wandering on line. Personally I wander through investment articles and purchase different stocks. I also wander on line for Christmas and Birthday presents. I aim to have my Christmas shopping done by Halloween without stepping foot in a store.
-
Walmart and any gun store :heart:
-
I like to go to the thrift store. always got new stuff for dirt cheap.
-
TJMax they always great things
-
I'm normally a get in ... get what is on my list and get out type of person. But occasionally I like to go to home depot or lowes and wander around to see the things that would improve my home that I cannot afford at the moment.
-
Back in the day, I use to love to wander around book stores.
-
I like Ikea, Walmart and Target because of the variety. My favorite though is OSH, I love walking around in the garden area.
-
My favorite "store" to wander around this time of year is a nursery. I love looking at all the plants and figuring out what I want to put where.
-
I'd like to go to target but too far away so, I go to WalMart which is closer to me.
-
I like to walk around and look at the stuff at Big Lots.
