i know in our modern culture alot of people dont have the time to do the shopping themselves, so they do it online. but it seems to have som draw backs. i did most of my christmas shopping online, but i kind of missed going out and spending the day with my fiance, shopping for our loved ones. plus your limited abit to what you can choose. so i was wondering do any of my fellow mylotters do their shopping online? and what their opinions on it are

I hardly shop online unless it's an online deal or I have a great online coupon code. I prefer going out and shopping because I thrift shop all the time and you can't thrift shop online! Also because you save more money in store, than online with the way shipping prices are now a days. And plus the quantity is limited on sales items any way.

I have heard lot about online shopping. Buys only books and similar products online. Otherthan that I go out and buy. But I feel that online buying can avoid all the impulse buying.

I buy the majority of items I like online because I refuse to go to the mall as I have always found it to be an enormous waste of time and money. I had in mind what I wanted to get for everyone and did my best to buy everything in one place so that I would get free shipping. When shopping online I don't feel limited to what I can purchase, in fact I feel like I have more options because I don't have to waste time and money driving around.

I only buy what I need to online.
Kate buys our food/drink from asda and we sometimes buy the odd thing online which falls into a diffrent section than "supermaket" shopping but I just generally perfer the buzz of the real experience.
Online shopping is to risky and boring. although fast when needs be :)

I enjoy the human interaction from inperson shopping, the only time I shop online is when I am unable to find something in stores and sometimes I get a few last minute things online so I don't have to go out in the crowds of people and spend hours for something that would normally take 20 mins.

i am housebound at the moment so i had no choice but to do my shopping for xmas online, but i must say, from the memories i have of all the rushing, ignorant shoppers and moody unhelpful staff there always seems to be around xmas i cant say i missed it, lol
although i do miss having a sneaky bag of chips or macdonalds while im doing it, although my waistline probably never thanked me lol

I love to shop online. I go to my favorite sites and check out the clearance sales. This is how I shop in stores too. I hit the clearance racks. I never pay full price for anything but under garments.
