shopping season is here and time to think of what to buy for that special occasion . there is always a lot to buy and what with the holiday season alwys with special discounts here and there most of us cant resist buying stuff we may or may no need coz they are so cheap.especially online, with sites like amazon or verizon or dozens of others that offer staggering promotions that are so low ,a fraction of what their normal prices are one will be v ery tempted to just max out your card.
but how many mylotters actually do a lot of their buying online or would they rather do their shopping the old fashioned way?

I really prefer shopping rather than buying online. This is simply because You can personally see the product and check for defects as well as functionality. Mostly, pictures appear great online but may not be that in actual. But online shopping ins surely an alternative most especially if the distance is far and going there will cost a fortune.

shopping online is more popular in the world, that's why ebay and amazon is so prosperous. You can find all items online and never go out. It's much trouble to find item in local store and the price is more expensive. YOu can save the taxi fee and don't spend much energy to find. Just stay at home and buy what you need. You don't need to go to pick it, just wait for delivery at home. I support online shopping, it will save more and most of them are free shipping.
I sincerely support all for one site www.egogoto.com. The item quality is perfect as what you see online. They offer free shipping and have great service, hoping this help!!

I would prefer going shopping. During holidays, markets buzz with people and when you go around, you get a feeling of being one with the season, people and the spirit of festivity. Discounts.. they are there even in the shops..

Hey,
for me, i seldom buy online but i feel that my online purchases are starting to increase. Firstly, it is just super convenient to purchase stuffs online at the comfort of my own house. However the only downside that that i can't physically try the product. Also, i have the risk of losing my product during the mailing process.
I think i still do most of my shopping the old fashion way but it seems like tide is changing!

I prefer to shop online. I really enjoy getting things in the mail. I also love amazon and the various products they have. It's nice for me to shop online there because they have many different things that I can't get at the traditional stores in our area.

Yeah it is so much easier to shop online. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Thankfully though I'm doing pretty good about keeping my shopping under control. It is so nice to be able to get discounts.Thanks for the info about the electronic shopping site.

I have tried shopping online at ebay and multiply.com. Some stuffs are good especially if it fits. The problem is the size. You cannot see it accurately in online unlike going at the mall, one can see it accurately. I still prefer shopping the old fashioned way.
Thanks for this.
Have a nice day!

yeah, it's not good to buy cloth or shoes online, because you don't know if it fits for you. But it's a good way to buy electronics products, it's more cheap than stores and the quality is also good. Most seller are honest and don't cheat customer, that's why the online shopping is more popular. recommand one site for you www.egogoto.com. Their product's quality is perfect and they offer free shipping, that will save more for me.

I do almost all of my shopping online all the time for whatever occasion it is. Since I don't drive and hate long lines and rude people this is the best thing for me. I never buy anything that I don't need because I'm on a small income once a month from social security.

I have so far not done any Online shopping. I prefer buying in offline mode, as I can touch and see different things, and then decide to buy what I need.

I used to love shopping the old fashioned way lol. But I have a disability and it's getting worse so for the last few months all my shopping has been done online. Including all my good shopping.
I love going to the shop and physically shopping but my disability withholds me from doing this now, I wish it didn't as IM only 24 and would like to not be stuck in all the time but maybe one day they'll find a cure so I can go back to old fashioned shopping

I had bought online only when I bought my plane tickets and those food supplements that my sister needed during her chemotherapy sessions. But when my daughter's facebook account was hacked, I decided to shop only personally because I feared that my visa card might not be safe.

I haven't really tried buying online. My brother have tried several times though. I would want to try to buy a smart phone online but was so hesitant that I might buy some thing with a defect and might have trouble replacing it. So I was really thinking. Today will be the deadline of buying and I guess my decision would be to check in shops and just buy there.
I might try to buy some vouchers only for leisure like going on a small cruise, safari or eat a restaurant.. but electronics, i think i need to know a friend who actually bought and encountered no troubles before I can convinced myself to buy.

If I can, I go shopping offline. It's just a whole another shopping experience... I feel more of that self-rewarding feeling, I love touching the products, wandering around the store...
I onl buy stuff online if they are a lot cheaper or they can'gt be bought online in my country or anywhere relatively near to the place where I live.

I prefer shopping than buying stuff online since it'll help me to save little money. Another reason is that I don't have any credit or debit card to be associated with paypal but I do have money there which I got from working online. A best part for buying stuff/s online which shopping can't offer is to provide us customers easier search and faster ordering of products which is a great help to people like me which can't find products that want to buy at malls.

I sometimes buy online but I only use local online stores since we could do meet-ups and pay in cash. I still want to check the item before I pay for it. So I guess I'm kind of in the middle. I do the canvassing of prices online but would still want to see the item like the old-fashion way

I enjoythe event of shopping. it does not seem to matter where. I like to be in the stores among other people taking in the sales and i like the opportunity of online shopping too. it all depends on the sales where i will like to shop most often.

I don't like buying online as it is very risky. besides I like to see the items I'm buying if it is really good. sometimes a picture of an item online is not enough to convince us. I think buying online is for those people who have no enough time to shop personally.

Call me old fashioned, but I like to go out shopping. Looking around and picking just what I see fit. Online you can't feel the things. Had a friend who never got what he ordered and payed for. So no online shopping for me!

I would rather go shopping. seeing is believing. I can know goods' quality and price directly. If I buy new clothes, I can try them on to see whether they fit me or not. Anyway, go shooping can assure you a good quality. Online shopping is also a good option, you do need to go outside and can browse anything you want.
