    1) Favorite Grocery Store Cheap - Market Basket  Whole Paycheck - Whole Foods
    2) Favorite Clothing Store Depends on which city I'm in...Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Anthropologie, Cusp
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack
    4) Favorite Bookstore Not too many bookstores around me.  I guess B&N.  Although there's a small bookstore/cafe in my city center that I keep telling H we're going to own someday...
    My favorite overall when I was living in LA was a place in Pasadena called Vroman's.
    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall  I can't answer this.  There are specific places I go to for specific things.

    1) Favorite Grocery Store - A local chain called Dave's Market
    2) Favorite Clothing Store - I don't really have one.  Maybe Loft?
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes - DSW, because it's convenient
    4) Favorite Bookstore - I went to this amazing barn of a bookstore in Columbus, Ohio once, and I think it remains my favorite bookstore that I've ever been inside.
    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall - This place called the Fantastic Umbrella Factory, in Charlestown, RI.  It's a collection of various shoppes, and a farm.  There's a greenhouse and a cafe, and chickens and peacocks running freely all over the place, and it's a wonderful place to roam around after a day at the beach.
  • 1) Favorite Grocery Store Publix
    2) Favorite Clothing Store Probably Banana Republic Outlet or Nordstrom Rack.  We have neither locally so I get excited when I find one.
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes Dillards when they have their big shoe sales
    4) Favorite Bookstore Can I say Books & Books?  I've only been once, but it was the best place ever.
    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall I love Target. I'm not sure if it's my favorite overall, but they have everything and I rarely leave without something.

    My replies are a little odd given how much stuff I buy when I travel to the US, but I'm going to post it anyway!

    1) Favorite Grocery Store - I don't know it's name, but the local store with all the Indian imported ingredients.

    2) Favorite Clothing Store - backcountry.com is probably the single place where I buy the most stuff. I'm addicted to high-performance jackets and moisture-wicking travel clothes. 

    3) Favorite place to buy shoes - Zappos.com Their customer service is truly amazing. They went way above and beyond to help me out with an issue during a short trip to the US.

    4) Favorite Bookstore - BetterWorldBooks.com Affordable international shipping on used books, and it's for a good cause.

    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall - DesignTorget! I go in almost every time I pass one.

  • 1) Favorite Grocery Store BiLo or Costco

    2) Favorite Clothing Store Don't really have one. I just go to the outlet mall or TJ Maxx

    3) Favorite place to buy shoes Payless - They have a size 5 section. :)

    4) Favorite Bookstore There's this amazing old house that used to sell new/used books in a small town in McDonough, GA called Dawg-Eared Books. I used to go there with my grandmother and cousins when I was in town. I think it's out of business now though. There's also a used/new bookstore in Asheville, NC that I love but I can never remember the name of. 
    I love old houses converted into bookstores. I'll miss the GA one a lot.

    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall Target. They have everything. I do wish the book section was larger though.

    2) Favorite Clothing Store - Macy's, I always find great clothes, that fit me (granted I have to go to the junior section but oh well) and they always have sales/coupons etc...
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes -Also Macy's
    4) Favorite Bookstore - My local library's used book sale room, which is open the same hours every day as the library. Hardbacks $.25 and paperback's $.10. I don't think I've ever walked out of there with less than 4 books at a time.

    3. The Shoe Company
    4. Chapters
    5. Target
  • 1) Favorite Grocery Store For specialty or frozen stuff -  Trader Joe's, for everyday stuff - Target, for fruit and veggies - H-Mart or Shopper's
    2) Favorite Clothing Store J.Crew, Anthro, Boden, Modcloth
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes DSW, Modcloth
    4) Favorite Bookstore Amazon and the Scholastic pages that my daughter's school sends home
    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall I probably spent the most time and money at Target.  My favorite place to walk around and look is probably Old Town Alexandria, which has a ton of little boutique shops, fun places to eat, and a gallery with jewelry artists, but I rarely buy much there.  I have lots of love Eastern Market in DC, although it's not quite the same since they rebuilt it after a fire.  I usually go a couple times a month in the summer to get fresh food.

  • 1) Favorite Grocery Store - Ralphs/Kroger
    2) Favorite Clothing Store - Kohls
    3) Favorite place to buy shoes - Payless.  I have wide feet and they're one of the only stores that carries reasonably cute shoes in wide sizes that aren't an arm and a leg.
    4) Favorite Bookstore - Close by - B&N is the only one.  All time - Book Revue is this cool bookstore in my cousins' town that we used to go to all the time when I visited.  I could spend a whole day in there, I swear.
    5) Favorite place to shop (for anything) overall - Target.  Or Amazon.

    I am a sale watcher.  I'll buy nothing for months then get a gazillion things at a 40% off sale.
