Sometimes friends or family drag you to a mall when you really don’t want to spend money. Here are some ways to survive that with your sanity intact.
Pretend you are at a museum. Admire the exhibits but don’t touch.
Pretend you are at a library. Read the greeting cards, t-shirts, posters, bumper stickers, etc. Think about what people are willing to express to others.
Pretend you are at the gym. Try out the exercise machines that are on sale with no intention of buying one.
Pretend to be a researcher. Check out the electronic gadgets to see what they do.
Pretend to be a secret shopper. Check out prices and quality and make notes relating to them.
Pretend to be a movie/theater costumer. Decide which shoes, clothing, and accessories would be appropriate for which scenarios.
Go home having enjoyed your visit to the mall without spending any money.
You can do it.
TTYL,

Fortunately I never go to malls.
Go to a mall??? HORRORS. Not me. But those are great ideas if you ever find yourself in one. Amazon is my friend.
