Me too.

I can spend an hour or so at the grocery store, comparing price per ounce, or matchin with coupons, or searching for coupons and flyers hiding there. But clothes, shoes and stuff, I hate it. I only go if I have to, like because the kids have outgrown their stuff, or my shoes or my pants got holes in them.

Today I went to PaylessShoes to pick up my online order, kids summer shoes, for which I had 30% off code and free shipping to the store, and didn't buy anything, just picked up my order, checked to make sure the shoes are ok, same sizes and all that.

Thank God, my size doens't change, so clothes and shoes last me decades, well my oldest clothes are over 10 yrs old, and I am 26.

I don't do any shopping unless I have a list of exactly what I need and plan ahead. Every February I shop clearance clothes for the next winter, and every September-october, I shop clearance for next summer. I watch the adds and go to the store only if I found a 75-80% off deal, and have a list of who needs what for the season.
