I do both. I like the ease of online shopping but there are some items I prefer to buy in a store.

Like many others here I do both.  I live in a relatively small town and sometimes it is more convenient, if now cheaper, to order online and get the items shipped.  Many companies I deal with now have no shipping charges on a particular minimum amount.  We order a lot of books from Chapters/Indigo online this way (we wait until we have enough for no shipping charges before ordering).  I am even willing to pay them shipping/handling charges if the total on those is under about $10 as it would cost me at least $20 in gas to go pick them up at the nearest store to us.  Walmart in Canada is not charging shipping costs on a lot of their online stuff.  I don't know how the online prices compare to the in-store prices but sometimes just more convenient to order online.

It is not really practical to order everything online so when we do go to the nearest larger cities around us we will do in-store shopping as well.  Also, we will buy some things in town to support local businesses if their prices are not really too far out of whack.

It depends on what it is I'm shopping for.  If I know that I can't find it in a physical store,  I'm shopping online for it.

I do both, I can always find a better price as well as a discount coupon to make a reasonable price even more reasonable online, while I don't mind doing the same offline as well.

I do both.  Most clothing I buy in store unless I'm on ebay and the sizes are listed.

I enjoy shopping both in store and online.
For clothes and shoes, I'd rather buy in person, however I do love JustFab (an online shoe store).

I like shopping online but I tend to worry if my personal information is secure enough online.  At least when I shop in a physical store and pay cash I don't have to worry about my identity being stolen.

I do a lot of shopping online, with FREE shipping........  I lived in Colorado for 12 years in a very small town, so it was just more convenient to do the shopping online, after the kids were in bed.  When we did go into the big city it was to see the lights and the Christmas programs going on.        I could always count on JC Penney, then a lot of the specialty stores (sporting goods, fruits).

I am also of the older generation, and still prefer to shop in the physical store; but I will shop on line depending on what  I am looking for and if I am buying a gift from someones registry, I will do do it online. So it just depends, I prefer the store but am not oppose to online shopping.

Anything I can buy online I do because I don't like going out shopping at all - groceries I have to go out for and that is bad enough.
