I love HomeGoods and T.J.Maxx!! so I don't go there often. We also have some good thrift stores in our area. I almost always find some good stuff. I also have too many perfect thrift cashmere sweaters!
I also forgot the christmas tree shop, there is one near me and I go in there all the time. Although most of the knick nacks I end up buying there, I actually use.
Barnes and Nobles, and Yankee Candle. Of course, it's hard NOT to spend a fortune when you walk into Yankee. Same with Barnes and Nobles . . . books are so pricey.
Used to be Lush. Then Lucky Brand. Now Lululemon. Sooooo if a store starts with Lu then I guess I have to check it out lol. My current addiction though is gym clothes and gear (yoga,water bottles/belts, etc) bought anywhere, I really need to stop.
Wow! What a wonderful bunch of shoppers we are. I frequent Costco andTrader Joe's both of which require an out of town trip. I have Amazon Prime and keep my credit card well "oiled" with them. I have to say that I recognize just about every mentioned venue.
I don't like Kohl's very much because not only do they have the fake sales, they have stuff stacked all over the place like Mervyn's did before they went out of business. A niece told me that the Kohl's in AZ is nice, but I haven't seen any nice ones near me.
I have recently become enamored with Apple products - I got a free iPhone 4 with my contract. The Apple stores in the mall are very nice. Elegant. Simple. Tasteful. Spendy. I want an iPad mini really badly.
I just had a thought: an iPad if I get back on track and loose the last 20 lbs. w00t!!!!!

Reason: Add the last sentence
MAC and Body Art Forms, for sure are my top. Makeup and body jewellery are my guilty pleasures.
Also, Costco - cause I feel like every time I go is like that episode of Modern Family when Mitchell goes there for the first time. And I can spend a lot in Winners, Sephora, any Roller Skate shop, etc.
Of late it definitely hasn't been in clothing or beauty products places since I was so discouraged about my weight . . . : but I'm looking for that to change. : I get a good percentage of my clothes at thrift stores when I do go clothes shopping though.
Mainly I'm a books and stuff geek. I try to order used books online or find them at thrift stores, book sales, etc.
Artistic, craft, and sewing/quilting supply stores are dangerous . . .
Books (ebooks too) and gadgets, so Amazon, Best Buy, etc. I'd be a very well-dressed person if I spent on clothes what I spend on gadgets & books! That said, I do spend money at sports stores for running & biking gear.
