Post by: tigerlilly01 on October 24, 2011, 04:17:35 am
do you shop online for gifts etc?  I love online shopping!  I try to watch what i buy but i do get a lot of good deals.  I started selling on ETSY recently and found that I have bought as much as I have sold !!  I love quality handcrafted items ....I just love shopping !!

I love shopping on line. No long lines, no traffic although you have to plan for delivery.I will have to try Etsy. It looks like the place to find a gift for the person who has everything.

I am so scared to spend too much money right now. So I got to wait and see if I still have my same job.

I have only shopped online a couple of times and really like it. I do plan to start doing more in the future. I hear a lot about how people really like it. I have an Amazon account that I will be using for Christmas gifts.

I do most of my shopping online.  I just ordered the new Kindle Fire with gift cards that I have earned.

i like shopping online, but the thing i don't like is the return process if something isn't right
and not being able to try on clothes/shoes, I tend not to buy those items online as much

I love shopping online. Being a mother of eight, I need the convience of shopping at home. In addition companies seem to offer a better discount if you shop onlne more than if you go into the store.

i love shopping online! It beats fighting through crowds in stores, and you can always compare prices from different sites so you make sure you always get the best deal!

I've bought a few things online but I'd still rather talk to someone in person about what I'm ordering.

I'm still not sure about the online shopping thing either.  Sometimes I would rather see some things up close.  I don't think I would buy clothes online.

I love shopping online. I really don't like running around to a bunch of stores trying to find what I am looking for.

I love online shopping. I seem to find better deals and easier to compare price. The frustrating thing is I'm competing with too many other people who love shopping for deals as well and I seem to miss a lot of good deals that are gone sooner than if strictly a brick and mortar advertisement. Black Friday? I'm terrible whether in store or online.

People who don't shop online have no idea what they are missing.  Sit in my pajamas to shop? Or, battle hoards of rude people and wait in long lines to checkout?  I think I'll choose the former every time.

Not only is it much easier to comparison shop without having to drive from store to store, but you usually can get much better deals.  More and more places are also now offering free shipping.

This holiday season I plan on the vast majority of my shopping to be done online, as has been the case the last several years.  Screw the craziness of the brick and mortars.  :P

I do a lot onlne, but usually to pay bills, not so much for gifts unless I know exactly what I want to buy. I will buy work related stuff online becuase I usually know what I am getting.

I usually do most of my online shopping at Amazon.com, but have started shopping at Walmart.com, which offers free shipping on some items to your home or free shipping to your local Walmart store! I have recently also started shopping at Ebay.com!

Hee, Hee...I have to stay off the clothing sites because I do alot of my shopping on-line and I think my husband is getting pissed.  I don't even open up the "sales" e-mail I get from stores because I know once I'm on the site, it's a done deal.   :)

I shop a lot online!  :thumbsup: Mostly for my automobile in the past few years with the economy the way it is. New radiator, light kit and other things that I chose to install myself to save money.  ??? I also have an Iphone that I put through a life of its own  :BangHead: so sometimes I have to repair it.  :thumbsup: Music is my number one purchase online! 8)

Best way to shop.
Whether you're making an actual purchase or shopping for info before you actually hit the store.
Either it saves a whole lot of time.

Most of my online shopping is done through eBay. I love trying to get the lowest price at the last second. The only other place I really shop at is Amazon.com. I am always weary of shopping online to places that are not well known, because of all the security risks associated with buying and selling online. My mother won't shop online at all for that reason.

I really enjoy online shopping as well because there are so many deals that you won't physically find in stores.

             I do a lot of window shopping online...before I go to the store. What you see is what you get! Better to see it in person...than on a screen!

I do alot of online shopping because it's easier to find a better price/deal on certain things than it is running from store to store hoping they have the sale item in stock........and also because I do not have much time for going to actual stores.  The only actual store that I will make time for leisurely shopping in these days is PetSmart---Tuna's "high maintenance" and has got to have all the latest toys & kitty accessories you know!  ;D

I have been doing online shopping more and more. Saves time and gas and everything gets delivered to my door. What is so great is I know what I'm buying as I've bought it before. Usually I frequent free shipping sites like Amazon, if you buy a certain money amount. My clothes from Lands End are always free shipping. I buy most of my OTC meds. and vitamins from VitamanShoppe.com.  Ebay is another good site for OTC meds. Just make sure they are sealed in their own packaging, and check expiration dates. I never just buy the bottle by itself. Wether they say it's sealed on the top or not. I also buy stuff like razors for my quattro razor. I pay about a third of what they charge in the store. My hair products (Kenra) can be found on Ebay also for a fraction of the price. With the price of gas, it's just good sense to buy online.

I get most of my grandson's gifts online. That way, my son can look too, and help me decide what to get. Once in a while I get something for myself.

Shopping online can be dangerous for me! I tend to impulse purchase more than I would in a store... maybe because EVERYTHING is available online! I HATE paying for shipping so that helps keep me in check. And if I am shopping online i try to do it through a $ earning site so i at least get something back on my purchases!

Shopping online is great, can be a real time saver. And it beats dealing with crowds around the holiday season. Etsy is amazing. I've found so many unique items there and have several friends who sell there.
