We live across the street from an outdoor mall, but it's been too cold. I don't like the other mall.
We've been keeping busy with gymboree, library, swim class, and just running errands at target/grocery store etc.
I'm going to head out tonight tho to get a mani and get a dress for DH's planned vday date and his gift!
How often do you go to the mall?

The mall is around 5 minutes away from us by car, but we probably go around 1-2 times a month?

Maybe once every 6 months. I'm not a big shopper, so I try to avoid it because it's usually so packed.

I vote other, because it's more than once a year, but less than once a month. I only go if there's a specific item I want to buy, or, rarely, if I have a lot of money to spend on clothes for myself.

I prob go a few times a year; I'm fine shopping at smaller strip malls that have what I need and shopping online usually! Or I'll go to the outlet.

I used to love going to the mall as a single gal. Then I got into a serious relationship and wanted to be at home with my new man everyday after work. Then we got a dog so I had to be home to walk him after work. Then we had baby #1 and I would go every once in a while to the mall. Now with baby #2, NEVER. *sigh* but i have to admit, its not really fun anymore. Maybe when the kids are a bit older.

Rarely ever. I mostly shop online if I need something.

Rarely. Maybe 2-4 times a year? Our mall doesn't have great stores, it's always really crowded, and I just don't have much interest in going to the mall anymore!

Probably every 3-4 months. Since having DS, I'm more of an online shopper, or I just run into Target or Kohls which are nearby and grab what I need.

Somewhere between once a month and once a week. It just depends! I usually get better deals out of the mall though, so I go less and less.

Maybe a couple of times a year. I hate shopping and never find anything for myself when I go look.

I hate malls and try to avoid them as much as possible, but sometimes they are just the most expedient place to find what I need..
I live in NJ, so I realize that my position is somewhat ironic.

I live behind one mall and there another across the street. We're there at least once a week. (Target is the store we live directly behind and we get our diapers, wipes, milk, eggs, etc. there)

I hate the mall! I much prefer high street shopping but unfortunately, where we are now, we don't have a high street so if I need anything I can't get at the supermarket, it has to be from the one mall we have in town. I hate it but the plus side is that I rarely go shopping for non-essentials at the moment!

Lately I've been going a few times a week because it's been too cold and rainy to walk outside much. It's about a mile to walk around our closest mall, so I'll go push the stroller around for a couple laps. Not much shopping though unless Baby Gap is having a good sale.

depends! sometimes we go as often as 2x a week.
I've gone months without going to a mall though.

Once every month or two, depends on the season- we go more frequently in the summer since we spend less time outside when it's super hot out.

We go to the mall AREA weekly at least because that is where trader joe's is. And we eat there a lot at the surrounding restaurants and go to target a lot. We only go shopping there maybe every few months.

Never / only if I absolutely have to. I hate slow walkers; which are pretty much 99.9% of people at any mall.
Malls also always stink - they either smell like old fry oil from all the crappy food court options or like too-liberally-applied Axe body spray (aka, desperation) from all the teens and preteens that slowly walk around, trying to find true love between Hot Topic and A&F.
No, thank you.

1-2 times a year. I hate it.
@yoursilverlining: the food does stink, but I do like the smell of those hot pretzels!
