Yes I shop online for toys and sometimes clothes at websites I like and trust.  I don't buy food or general supplies online.  Shipping can kill you.

If I am shopping at Wal-Mart, I shop online most of the time.  The only time I don't is if I have to buy groceries or I need something right away.

It really depends on what I'm shopping for. I shop for clothes, groceries, and everyday items at retail stores. I shop online for holiday items and components for my computer. I prefer to go to the store to buy crafting supplies for my cross stitch and tatting but the craft stores around here don't always have what I need so I end up going online to buy whatever I couldn't find in the store.

And books are a different story all together. If I know I want a specific book, I'll buy it online(or on my Kindle) because it's generally cheaper. But if I'm looking for a new series/author to read, I find it easier to browse the shelves at the book store.

I shop mostly online now because I am not really able to shop in stores because of my health.

I don't think it has anything to do with age, it's all about not wanting to get knocked side ways trying to traverse thousands of people.  I have always preferred shopping online.  I find some good deals-lower price, free shipping, no tax.

I do almost all of my shopping online except for groceries. I buy clothes at landsend.com and chicos.com, yarn and other supplies for knitting at knitting-warehouse.com, toys for the kids in my family at amazon.com, and all kinds of stuff on ebay.com. I usually only buy when there is free shipping involved so I don't feel guilty about not going to a physical store to buy.

I usually shop online during the holidays, but a friend of mine told me that if i went to Walmart (for instance) and wanted to buy something, to check the price online line and you could possibly get it cheaper than the store price. I'm lovin that.

I do both, especially for holiday gifting.  It just depends on the prices, item availability, and shipping dates.

It depends on what I am shopping for, but I definitely like online shopping because you can usually find better prices that way.
