Shopping is the examining of goods or services from retailers with the intent to purchase at that time. Shopping is an activity of selection and/or purchase. In some contexts it is considered a leisure activity as well as an economic one.

Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75–125 AD and written for a soldier.

When do you start shopping for your kids clothes from the adult section?
Q. My eldest daughter is 13, almost 14 and just started 9th grade. I still shop for her from the girls section. When I saw her new friends today, they dress like 20 yr olds! Aren't 13-14yr olds still little girls? I don't want her to get influenced by them and dress like a 20yr old. What is the appropriate age for kids to start shopping from the adults section? I thought it to be around 16-17?

A. At the age of thirteen or fourteen they shouldn't be aloud to only shop at little girls stores, as they technically aren't 'kids' anymore. No matter how much you wish or hope to believe that they are, they aren't. Reality is now a factor and most kids around that age do dress far to old for how they should be dressing. Though- that doesn't mean you should restrict your daughter from shopping at all the trendy teenage stores if that's what she prefers or if shes willing to pay with her own money. At thirteen or fourteen I wouldn't necessarily go out and take her to high fashion adult stores but you could start showing her the juniors and teenage sections by now. Keep in mind- this is my own opinion and it's truly up to you and your daughter… [cont.]

How do shopping trolleys grind to a halt when they cross the red line?
Q. I've never tried to steal a shopping trolley (why would you want to?) but I have seen that sticker on them that warns that the trolley will stop immediately when it crosses the red line. Is this true, and if so, how does it work please?

A. What do you mean steal a trolley ... I paid 1 for mine!!! "The introduction of a hi-tech preventative measure aims to reduce the problem and Sainsbury s has committed to installing a new electronic security system which will prevent people from taking the trolleys off site. The system works on a radio signal transmitted from within the Horsham store via a sunken wire which will surround the car park and be marked by a highly visible red line. All trolleys will be fitted with a device within the wheels and if trolleys are pushed over the wire, a brake comes on and the trolley can no longer be easily pushed. The brake is de-activated and the trolley can be wheeled once it is pushed back inside the car park boundary."
