My Psychology Class is doing a project on what influences people to shop at different stores. Where they shop, why they shop there and, what they shop for.So, where do you shop for;
Clothes:
Groceries:
Electronics:
Entertainment(Music, Games ext):
Other:
Please put why you chose the store for each of the things. I realize I have not given names of stores but that is so people can put where they actually shop. We decided on that in class because we have noticed that there are always many more options than just what is given. Also, this will help keep the data from being bias just because there were only certain options given.

Clothes: Most of my clothes I have bought online since it's easier then walking around looking for clothes because I hate clothes shops.
Groceries: Since most of the stores around here aren't in America I'll tell you the one I use when I'm in America - Walmart because it's the most convenient for me because I've learned from experience where most things are in there.
Electronics: Normally online since it's probably the easiest place to find them.
Entertainment(Music, Games ext): Online because it's the easiest place to find things fast or I buy games in Game Stop because it's easy to access from where I live.
Other: Hmm..?

For your project, AG is the perfect place to do a survey, because the community is always willing to help you out

Clothes: The Westfield Mall that I live near. Has quite a large selection, to say the least.

Groceries: Probably Vons or Target, both have a large selection and are near to where I live.

Electronics: Electronics: Fry's, or online. Fry's, like all my other choices, have a wide selection of items, and is near to where I live.

Entertainment: For games, I go to Gamestop. Wide selection of games, really. For music, I just get my songs off of Youtube. It's technically not illegal, and it's free!

Other: Online, I guess.

So in conclusion, the things that affect where I shop is usually selection and location. Oh, and prices.
