It's sometimes better to shop locally and then go online to compare prices. I generally will find different deals on different products each time. There is never really a set rule that online is better than in store. In-store, you find the products at the finger tips and you can try them on. You can ask questions and get immediate response, best of all, you can make use of the item purchased immediately. Yay ;D

However, the greatest advantage of shopping online is ofcourse not having to stand in line or not find the items in stock.
Online shopping provide a convience (lazy :D) way for me to buy the items in-stock (most of the time anyway) with some waiting period. And then there is the issue of the package deliver at the door and no where to be found. Hmmm... that happened to me a few times, but I was luckily doing business with reputable retailers that will negotiate the issue to be fair.

I'd have to disagree. If you know how to shop online you will almost always find better deals then at the local stores. I do alot of shopping online, especially for electronics and car parts. I almost always use the local shops to see what I'm getting, then order online. There are many ways to save a buck or two online if you know where to look. Search part/manufacturer numbers and if the site offers a coupon code you can almost always find one on the net to save you even more. I have got some crazy deals online doing this.

I do buy at the local shops only when it is convenient and I want it now.

I definitely shop online more, especially living in a small town where Walmart is the only option for a lot of things.

All our groceries, household cleaning supplies, and personal care items we purchase in store.  For everything else, the scale is starting to greatly tilt in the direction of online.  In the past few years we have greatly increased our purchasing of items online, especially if the item can be had with free shipping or free in store pick-up.  Purchasing online allows you to purchase any time of day or night without having to worry about store hours.  Plus, you have the ability to receive frequent flyer miles, cashback bonuses, etc. if purchased through various programs you may be associated with.  Plus there is the savings in gas use. ;)

I have only recently bought some things online. I never would trust it before, but have come around some.

I like to shop in stores more than online because I like to check the item out before buying it. Plus I like to shop around too.

you can usually find the best deals online but i love to try on my clothes first.
plus you never know who can get ahold of your info online.
so i play it safe and for my taste and go to the stores!!
unless i KNOW certain clothes will fit or they only have them online
then ill buy online and pay smart.
