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.

Q. I simply can't stand shopping. Let alone at Christmas: packed shops, pushy people, and the same old carols playing over and over on the tannoy. Is e-shopping the way forward? How much of your Xmas shopping is going to be done on the Internet?

What should I look for when shopping for a plane?
Q. I want speed and a large useful load (like everyone.) This is obviously a first purchase. My maximum budget is around 60 or 70K. I prefer a low wing to a high wing. Any suggestions on a make or model in this price range would be helpful. Also, I don't know about overhaul time, ie, a good amount of time since an overhaul. What is the average amount of hours a plane can fly without being overhauled? How many hours will an airplane last (airframe and total time?) Any other tips on what I should look for when shopping would be very helpful too. I know I'm pressing my luck asking another question but here it goes. I hold a PPL with about 120hrs. Are there certain restrictions on the type of aircraft I can fly such as high… [cont.]

A. Ok, the best planes for that cost would probably be 1960's and 1970's mooney m20's which are capable of 200mph, and cruising at 160 using less than 10gph. They have the same o-360 as a cessna 172, but it has a much more aerodynamic wing, and a kickass tail that has a strait leading edge and sloped trailing edge. They have manual gear and flaps, but nobody even cares because they work really well and save 400lbs. Youll need to get your advanced rating, but its worth it for the extra speed. Oh, and the mooney can carry 4 180lb people 1000 miles and stay within weight and balance guidelines. The only downside is that mooneys float at landing much longer because of that aerodynamic wing, so you cant come in with any extra speed or you risk… [cont.]
