S/O how often do you go to the mall?

I went to Eddie Bauer in November. It's technically in the mall, but I went only to that store. They had a new winter coat I wanted. So while I was there I bought myself a few things, and DS a shirt and a jacket for Christmas.
Before that, I honestly thing it was last February I was in a mall, but again to go to one specific store only.

Well, I haven't been since last March. . .

Just for order pick ups.

Pre Covid, maybe once every 2-3 months. I don't particularly love going, but SO likes to walk around. Also, there is a dumpling place there that I love, so that's my incentive.

Maybe twice a year? And usually just to get out of the house. I do most of my shopping online. I’ll go to the mall for Barnes and noble and stop in a few stores. But like I said maybe twice a year.

As never as possible.

Precovid I lived a couple miles from a large indoor mall. Every few months I’d hit a couple of the anchor stores (JCP, Macy’s, but rarely go into the mall. Now I live in an area with a nice outdoor “mall”. It has a nice grass area in the middle with benches, a fountain. So much nicer!

Our mall is really sad and pathetic and I never go there. I haven't been at all since our Macy's closed almost 4 years ago. There is a restaurant we like and eat at (pre Covid, haven't been there since before March) but they have an outside entrance so we haven't actually been inside the mall in many years. Even when Macy's was still here, I used their entrance and never went out on the mall. We do have a Dillards that moved to where Macy's was but I rarely shop there. Our Penney's is closing in March. I can't imagine our mall will even be open much longer. I think they are in bankruptcy.

*Edited to add that I forgot there was a movie theater on the mall and we sometimes went there to see movies but not since March. But even that was rare because we have two other nicer theaters in town that we prefer to go to. 

I used go about once a year during the Christmas shopping season just to see the decorations and find something I might not ordinarily find but I haven't been for a couple of years now.

I've been a few times but only to pick up from store.  Haven't gone browsing around the mall for a year now.  

The last time I went to the mall was prom dress shopping with my daughter - that's unfortunately still hanging in her closet unworn. We'd go every couple months pre-Covid.

I guess because I was a young person in the late 70s an early 80s, I typically love to go to the mall. Walking around, looking at stuff, watching people - I've always loved it all. Not that I could afford or bought that much stuff, but you do have to have new shoes and clothes occasionally. Maybe it's because my dad was a department store manager, so I grew up with a mall being a big part of my life.

But it's not fun to go to a decaying mall, which narrows the field down a lot nowadays. It seems really sad. Also not wild about the couple of times a year that the news reports everyone streaming out of the mall because somebody was shooting at somebody else. That's sad for many reasons.

I envy those of you who say they order everything online. Maybe I just have a weirdly-shaped body, but even in a store I can pick up two pairs of jeans the same size made by the same company, and one will fit, but the other won't. I can't imagine buying my whole wardrobe (haha, like i have a wardrobe) online. I'd be a Glamour "don't" for sure. More power to you if it works for you, but some of us need to try the clothes on, and it seems so inefficient to order a bunch of stuff and return most of it. Much easier to take a bunch of stuff in the dressing room and put most of it back.

Guess I'm just a dinosaur, er, product of my times.

E.T.A.  Haven't been near a mall since COVID started.

Very rarely do I go to a mall and that's because I'm not counting trips to my Target which is technically in a mall. I was a SAHM when my boys were little and we went all the time to play at the indoor play areas or just to walk around and be somewhere that wasn't home in the winter. These days (pre-Covid) I don't have much of a need or a desire to go because there aren't many mall stores that I want to shop at.

Pre-COVID, maybe 3x per year. I am actually looking forward to going window shopping, once I am vaccinated. It will be fun to grab a coffee, shop, have lunch - like a real person!
