I'm doing pretty much all my shopping online these days

Yeah, me too, but we're males. Malls or stores will never totally disappear because of females. Women, like my wife, love the shopping experience.

My wife's eyes bug out when we pass a shopping center. She and other women see shopping in a store as almost a religious experience. Men don't look at shopping the same way. For most men, like me, shopping in a store is something to be endured.

“Yeah, me too, but we’re males. Malls or stores will never totally disappear because of females. Women, like my wife, love the shopping experience.”

My wife finally retired a few years ago, and she still liked to shop.

Now she hates malls and shopping as much as I do. She will go to our local discount shopping center and to Talbot’s and maybe one other store if she has a gift card and can’t find what she wants on line.

Last week, she said she would like a light/medium weight down jacket for the fall/spring. Then I saw her looking at my new Cabela’s
cold weather catalog with sale prices and free shipping.

She said that she wanted one of the jackets on the back cover. We went into my office hooked up my Chromebook to our RJ45 and ordered the jacket in about a minute. It will be delivered free at the end of the week. She had been looking at the LL Bean catalog with 20% off and free delivery. She felt the Cabela’s jacket would be good, and if it is like most Cabela’s items, it would be in good shape for years.

I’m lucky. My wife hates to go to town and much prefers to shop and buy online. She only buys what she needs most of the time.
