Agree that it's just a way to spend time and get out of the house and be social.
My Grandmother would have me drive her all over town every other weekend to do the shopping, She would go in say hello to some of the staff, bump into a few people she knew etc..
She also lived a 3 min walk from the mall were should could easily have bought the same things for about the same price but would not have the same little adventure or see the same people.
