Window shopping

[ladyspur]

How often do you do that? I do it alot, but never buy anything.

[TexasNurse]

Never. It is a tease. If I go out to the stores I am buying!

[austin_spurs_fan]

i do it all the time, i even do it online

[SAScrub]

I do it at place like Academy, or with sporting goods. But I can't stand wasting time at clothing stores and stuff.

When I shop for Windows, I intend to buy. 98, XP, 2000, Vista, NT, whatever.

Whats means window shopping?

We bought one of these for our basement last summer, does it count?


Note to bonnington: Window shopping is the idiom for when you go out shopping with no particular goal or intention to buy.

Addendum, it is called WINDOW shopping, because in the old days of shopping, people would look at the window displays of storefronts from the sidewalks before actually going into the stores.

My wife still do that. A lot of people do that in Buenos Aires. There are thousands of shops in the avenues.
