Title: online shopping
Post by: LaKecias on December 27, 2014, 08:08:40 am
Do you shop online? I recently developed a real love for it.  No crowds, rudeness and they deliver it right to your front door.Find free shipping and it's on

I do most of my shopping in the stores but sometimes if I can't find what I am looking for I will shop on-line especially if there are good deals. Do far I haven't bought clothes or shoes on line.

I've been doing a little online shopping in the past few years.  Started when our youngest daughter was getting married and she found most of her decor. online.  I was a little scared of putting credit card info online but am getting a little easier about it.

I never did much of it until I moved to a really rural community.  We have the tiniest grocery store and a pharmacy and that is about it.  So, since it is about 35 miles to the nearest larger town, I started to shop on line.  If I stick to my list and make sure I shop only when I can get free shipping it is really a boon to my lifestyle.  Sometimes I can't figure out how the stores get by with it....I ordered $75 worth of stuff frm Walmart and it came in an absolute tower of boxes...probably 10 or so.  Not real eco friendly so I am reconsidering how I do this. But, yes, now I shop online a lot.

Yes, I do shop online, and mostly with the gift cards I earn from some sites. Also, when possible, I use another site as well to get cash back from shopping.

I saved a ton of money shopping online this season.  The best part was not going to a store & searching in vain for a much wanted/needed item & wasting time finding out it wasn't there.  Love online shopping.

The stores contract rates through whoever does their shipping & they get really great rates because they ship in bulk.   All the big stores negotiate cheap rates.

Other than things involving perishables like groceries, I do a lot of my shopping online. I do this for convenience, but moreso due to the savings. If shipping is free, I do not feel as compelled shopping in person unless I just cannot find it online, need something more instaneous or worry about return policy if I'm getting something as a gift.

I shop a lot on Amazon, especially for things I can't seem to find in the stores any more.

I do it most of the time when I can't go to shop.  I like to shop in the store more but if no time I'll try to shop online.

If I have a choice I will shop online. I hate large stores and have trouble getting around in the winter time. I do like small local shops but most of the time I can't find what I am looking for. I also love cash back from FC for shopping on line! :peace: :snowflake: :snowflake: :snowflake: :wave:

I shop online, also.  I have arthritis which is very painful.  Long shopping trips are not very much fun.  I have been shopping online for several years now.

I don't like to shop online for clothes because I don't know if it fits

I actually prefer it, you usually get what size and color you want too. I hate crowds and waiting in line. So yeah online is the best, even if you have to pay for shipping, it evens out on what you would have spent on gas to go to the mall and the kids asking for everything in the world.

I like shopping online, especially since I'm on the computer everyday anyway. I like the ease of just pointing and clicking and there's no waiting in line.

Sometimes but then i run the risk of not liking it or right size.  Sometime what you see in the picture is not what you get in the mail

I've been a big fan of online shopping for years.  Never liked the crowded stores and malls.  Now with all the online rebate sites, it's becoming more advantageous to shop online to get the rebate, then either have it shipped (if it's free shipping) or choose the free store pickup options.
