    Mine are:

    Adams Fairacre Farms for food...they have beautiful selections and produce......

    Hannafords grocery store for some of the organic products

    Nature Earth or some name like that.....small health food store with special soaps and things....and they have big jars of spices and herbs to fill up in a bag how much one want yourself...and all kinds of speciality food items....

    TJ Maxx....find great clothes at great prices

    Old navy...always have to look in there, although they have gone down in quality things this last year or so, so I do not find much there anymore...However, I like to look still for that one item I may not find anywhere else

    Target....seems to be my Walmart now....and I always go there at the mall, and then look at some other stores once I am at the mall..but Target is main.....

    Macy's...for Chanel make up

    Rite Aid...they have the best greeting card selection here

    I can probably think of more later, but these seem to be the stores I frequent the most......

    My favorite store is probably a store I've never been to; one of the cannabis stores in Colorado.

    Why? Because I love marijuana. Not to mention, it would be insanely convenient. It would become my new pharmacy.

    I used to really like going to Good Will and Salvation Army stores......could always find something useful.....but the Goodwill store here has gotten too high with their prices, and I have no idea how the very poor can even shop there, anymore. Might as well buy it new with some of their prices now, so I do not support them anymore, and the place smells on top of it.......

    I check those stores out from time to time. My problem with the Goodwill, etc is that I have a fairly common size for clothes and no interest in nicknacks or anything like that. So they don't usually have much more than shirts and maybe a couple of pairs of pants in my size. But the ReStore is pretty badass. I bought a brand new exterior "French door" there for around $200. It was unused from a construction project. I found out later that the retail price was over $1500 originally.

    I like Bi-Lo grocery store because I get "fuel perks" for spending there...money off of gas for buying stuff I'd need to get anyway. win/win

    I agree with the Goodwill store prices being high, but I still like their books...as well as any thrift store around, I look at their books. We don't have a ReStore here...I wish we did.

    Kohl's for any clothing when I want to look nice. (otherwise, I can literally always find something to wear that I already have. lol)

    train stores and computer stores. because they have the two things i'm interested in. also hardware stores. even toy stores some times.
    collecting is bull shit, but things you can make things with, yah, that's why i'm cheap about everything else. art supply stores are good too.

    if it were warm enough and legal i'd probably go naked. still gotta eat though. which i enjoy probably too much.
    and physical exercise which i enjoy too little, which is to say, not at all.

    sorry, i have no corporate nor franchise loyalties. there's some i'll avoid though.
    like off the wall mart. you couldn't pay me to buy anything there.

    i don't care much for most fast food joints either, although subway is good once in a while.

    anything that uses christerism as an advertising ploy is an instant turn off too.
    anyone who doesn't know that's a front for organized crime, hasn't been paying attention.

    this would probably be true of any other dominant belief system if i were living a country where some other was.

    i'm actually for god and morality, which is why i'm against christianity, because it pretends to be when it really isn't.

    same goes for conservatism, what is called conservatism, and freedom.

    which is another reason i try to avoid places that support that too.

    Yes, I frequent an art store here, as well.......

    I used to love to go to Bloomingdales, Saks and Lord and Taylors in NYC....every time I would go to those stores, but now I am a good distance away, and they do not have those stores in the sticks here....LOL...not that bad, here....

    Rhinebeck here has all kinds of tiny, little , one of a kind boutique shops here......though.

    What I hate are those self serve checkout things.

    Feel like the store owes me minimum wage for having to pack my own gardamm groceries

    The self-serve checkouts at grocery stores come in handy when buying certain things like condoms and you don't want to feel awkward going through some old lady's checkout with a box of Trojans.

    my boyfriend and I filled up both of our cars for $1.09 the other day using our fuel perks. Our gas ended up being like .5 c a gallon because we had $2.55 off and gas was only $2.60

    apparently i'm a better cashier than most professional cashiers. i can ring myself up in half the time it takes a paid person to do it. and then i can group my groceries in the appropriate bag for more convenient unpacking.

    the only downside is that 99% of people are obviously too stupid to be a cashier. if you get in line behind one person at the self serve checkout, you can expect to be there for 15 minutes while they try to comprehend how to scan their two items and pay for them.
