How often do you buy something online?

When we can't buy anything in stores buying online is a blessing. I ordered some items online. I asked for my money back for that broken thermos. I am waiting for their response. But they offered only half of the money. But the thermos is leaking and I can't use it. I bought some teas online for my digestive problems. I have free shipping because they have a special offer. My mom doesn't have time to buy and visit stores. She needs to prepare our house for Christmas. We will have guests. My brother with his fiancee will come here. I said I would stop buying, but I need to increase my water intake. And everything costs money. I bought vanilla extract and maybe I can add it in water to change its taste. I bought teas for my digestive problems. Do you buy online often?

I often find myself shopping online these days because it is more convenient than visiting physical stores, and I get to enjoy discounts and free shipping promotions. However, I only buy essentials.

Me too. I buy what I need and not more. And I usually buy what it's cheaper. I check the prices everywhere and I choose the best offers.

@dya80dya Likewise. It is a good practice to compare prices. :)

In the store, we can see those things and decide if we would like them or not. Online we can see only pictures.

I often buy different kinds of products online since it is much more convenient. Of course usually the price is better.

I agree with you, the price is better even if the products are the same. Even medication is cheaper if we buy it online.

Me neither. I don't trust to buy groceries online because they can be expired. And I am not sure if we can return them.

i used to drink from the same water bottle for days, i would only refill it. you don't need thermos for water intake, i guess. but you do how you want and as for shopping - i only buy things that i can't find in stores or that are cheaper online than in store.

I think I need a thermos for traveling. I need to travel very soon. And I can't avoid it no matter what I do. At home, I don't need a thermos. When I go somewhere I feel extremely dehydrated, my mouth is very dry. And I need to drink something. At home, I don't feel this extreme thirst.

@dya80dya Depends on individual products. Generally speaking, the price of most products is about the same unless the online store is doing promotion.

Most of my shopping is online as it saves both time and effort to get to the stores. As you pointed out , there is good time saving . Plus, I do see a larger collection of things apart from better prices. So , guess most of people are now getting into online shopping . In fact most major stores across world have online presence and shopping enabled. The other disadvantage is when you get the wrong product or you need to get a replacement or refund. That does take time and well is a major deterrent for purchasing some of the things. I did have my share of challenges in returning things. Well, enjoy the day!

The prices are better online, I noticed that. They are cheaper. I returned a lot of things too. I even returned a TV. It wasn't easy to return it. My mom returned a huge oven.
