I have been BF shopping many times and have seen the police called at least 4 times because people were fighting over places in line or items...BR/BR/Fanny packs are tacky, but useful...this way you have your hands for shopping and can keep your wallet and phone easily accessible.

Evenif it is a doughnut and coffee! Don't go with an empty stomach. You don't know how long you may have to wait in a check out line, etc. And take a bottle of water with you. I usually try to map out which stores I am going to, what time the sales start, stuff like that because I hate to backtrack,and it is a waste of gas. Here is my only tip: Eat before you go!
