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.

What to look for when shopping around for home equity loans?
Q. Any advice on what to look for when shopping around for home equity loans? Are there referral commissions? I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan ... I told them I'd look into it for them. I'd like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I'd like to negotiate for that too. How do I figure out what is a "great deal"? PS. I'll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

A. You have to have a mortgage license to collect a commission. It is not legal to be involved without a license.

How do you keep your infant from crying while shopping?
Q. I have an 11 month old infant who has a difficult time keeping entertained while I shop. The only way I can doing any shopping is if I know exactly what I want, purchase it, and then leave immediately. Whenever I need some time to browse, my 11 month old begins to fuss and eventually begins to cry. I've always fed and changed her before our outings so those reasons go out the window. Is there anyway that I can keep my daughter entertained better while I'm doing errands? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A. Hi I totally feel your pain... First remember this don't worry about those childless people (or even parents themselves) who'll give you dirty looks if you baby so much as cries while you are trying to shop.. They'll get over it and ig they donn't eventually they'll go somewhere else. Some people seem to think they were perfect angels when they were young (yeah right!) Babies are going to cry... even if there is nothing wrong. Babies cry to relieve stress too. Not just when they are hungry or need to be changed or tired. Alot of time shopping in the morning not too long after the baby has gotten up and been fed. Not too close to nap time though : ) Sometime I bring cheerios and juice. Or I let them bring a toy... Once they get sick of… [cont.]
