I lurve doing in-store browsing. I like to touch, smell and see the stuff with my own eyes. Internet shopping is very convenient, but it does not give me that "hands-on" feel

I prefer internet shopping, except for stuff like groceries. I don't like dealing with all theother shoppers in the stores, and waiting to check out, etc.

   I use both. For example: Walmart- Explains the product online, then when you go to the store you know what you are getting.

I do a mixture of both. For example, I found a video I know my sister would like, just browsing at the thrift store. I never would have thought to buy it while shopping online. Some gifts just jump out at you when you're in a store. It makes things fun! On the other hand, I knew I wanted to buy a certain type of body lotion for my mom, so was able to use the internet to compare prices easily and buy online.

Use the store to get  feel for whatever it is, and use the internet for a better deal.
Stores also for the convient NOW factor.
Of ocurse it depends on the product.
Sometimes there is piracy to save time and money.

I love online shopping.  :heart:

Today my wife mentioned she lost the charger for her Kindle, so I jumped on Ebay and got her a car charger, house charger, USB cable (charge from computer) along with a protective case and screen protector for $15 shipped free. It took me 15 minutes instead of 4 hours to drive to the Mall (plus parking) and I saved more than $15 in GAS.

On-line shopping has been my life saver this Christmas. I can usually find better deals on a website than if  went to the same store. I also love the pick up at store option. I can just go into the store and go directly to the service desk, no wandering around the store or fighting crowds, or waiting in lines. WONDERFUL!!

With my schedule and my responsibilities, I have no time to go shopping outside the home. I miss it!  :crybaby2: I do 98% of my shopping on line. I belong to certain clubs where you get cash back for shopping on line, so it's not all bad.

I do a heavy portion of my shopping online. I enjoy the convenience, ease of comparison shopping, special incentives and discounts and at least until the end of the year tax free possibilities with Amazon.
