Do you notice that whenever you go to the mall to shop , your tendency is to eat in any of the restaurants or food outlets of your choice ?
Although your main agenda of going to the mall is to shop for some things you needed or may want , it is inevitable that you will eat there.
Thus , when you go shopping the expense for eating will surely be on your budget.
Although, if you are sure of where to buy and what to buy at the mall and be able to buy it for a short time , it most unlikely that you will eat .
Thus , if you don’t want to have an extra expense for eating when shopping for something at the mall , you should eat a full meal or have taken something that can make you full before going to the mall .
That way , no matter how much delicious you have sniffed when you pass by those restaurants or fastfoods you will not have the craving to eat .
At the mall , mostly are unhealthy foods . Specially those fastfoods , they mostly have fried foods. So cholesterol laden.
However , there are restaurants that offers healthy foods such as very deliciously cooked vegetables. It’s just that, they are a bit expensive than those fastfoods.
For me , I only go to the mall if I really have to shop for things I needed . I do it when they are more than two and have to shop also for some wants . That way , it is reasonable for me to eat there also .
If I have lots of extra money I eat at any of those fine dining restaurants and yes I do shopping alone so I eat alone . I don’t like hubby nagging me for shopping so long.
But if my budget is tight I have no choice but to eat at fastfoods because anyway they are what I want also and much more cheaper than those fine dining restaurants .
And when I shop and dine , I call it my “me day” because actually I love shopping and eating .
So I do it whenever I have lots of extra money . lol
Do you also like shopping then eating afterwards? I bet you do , because I love it so much too.
Note: Picture attached is mine. That is Bicol Express , my favorite. It’s one of those we ordered at a fine dining restaurant on one occasion.

Hi @Dina, lovely first blog here. Hope this will encourage you write more here, I am looking forward to read more articles from you.
Nice to read your shopping and eating out experience. I think if would like to analyse the logics behind why shopping and eating are always hands in hands, I have few ideas to share here.
First, shopping mall is a fully air-conditioned environment, it make us feel cold, and make us utilise more energy, thus we will feel hungry faster than usual or when stay outside.
Second, shopping need some energy too, which walk up and down will consume some extra energy of us, we can walk more if compared to than in a park which without our knowledge. Thus, we feel tired after a whole day shopping activity.
Third, the promotions offered by the restaurants or eating outlets will make us feel carving to the food although we are not hungry at that time. That’s why better not go to shopping mall if really tight of budget… haha!
It's nice to see you here too. I think,I will be writing more here because I have seen common friends from the other site where we write too.
I certainly agree on all those factors you enumerated as to what makes us like to eat when shopping.
And true, we should go to the mall whenever we have a lot of budget or like I said when we are still full from the meal that we have eaten. But even then , when we are at the mall, we fastly get hungry because of the eating joints we pass by. ha ha ha
Seldom I join the two .When I shop, I do not dine. I cook my food for know well what I am cooking. It is not advisable to always dine outside of your home.The foods prepared by fast foods contain recycled cooking oil,fries are bad for our health, they contain carcinogens due to its way of cooking and others there. I seldom dine outside.I am a choosy type in terms of food, It is not nice to feel something malicious to our body,Let us protect our body and health.
Good for you that you are that determined not to eat those unhealthy foods. I sometimes crave for them , so even if I will not be shopping I will drop by the mall , which is at the very place where the jeepneys going to our place are waiting for passengers.
So , you know why I am tempted at times when dismissal comes.
Though,most of the time , I eat veggies and fish.
Sometimes we are setting our mind not to eat unhealthy food specially when we go shopping.But time is running so fast and we do not notice that we already spent lot of time going around.Even if we say that we already rush on buying items that we need.When we get tired and hungry, We have no choice but to pick something which is being served fast.Then we will end up eating at fast foods or food carts.
That is so true. When one is already so hungry, the speedy way is to eat at those fastfood joints. Although, we can compensate the "unhealthy foods we have eaten, by having an exercise once at home already. In addition, we should eat a fruit and drink lots of water so those fats taken in can be swept away by the fruit when we are able to eliminate our waste inside the body.
Besides, at fastfoods the cost is cheaper than in regualr restaurants.
