It depends where I'm going and what I'm doing. For instance, if I'm going shopping for an outfit for a special occasion, I like to have someone around. If I'm just going regular shopping, I prefer to go alone.

I WILL NOT go to a movie alone, nor will I eat alone in a restaurant. I did that *once* while I was Christmas shopping and I felt like everyone was staring at me. I hated it. So if I'm alone, I either get it to go and eat in the car or I don't eat at all.
