Online shopping has become a trend lately that even me who loves to do physical shopping has been doing online purchase lately. Advantages are you can find cheaper items online, it saves you time going to the mall and most of all you are not tempted to buy more like you do in the mall. You just have to choose the best online shops and make sure payment options is safe

I gather all the things I want at the checkout then wait for discount days like 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4 etc to checkout for discounts. At times, they even give free delivery.

Pretty does some shopping online but I only buy eBooks online. I'd rather go into the store and see what I'm buying before handing over my money.

I shopped a lot of the grocery which I used which is why I do a lot of online shopping.

@florelway We live in a country area and there are no malls around us. We only have a few stores or have to drive a long way to shop. When we can't find things in the stores close to us, then Pretty goes online and buys them.

I personally dislike it in general. I'm thankful it exists, but I don't like using it. I do use it, because it's my only real option. However, to say that it's cheeper to buy online, that's not true. The costs are often cmparable to what you'd find in a phyiscal store, and you can get lost down the internet rabbit hole. So those aren't really pros. A pro, is it's an alternitive to buying in a physical stre if you cannot for some reason get out.

Shopping online has a con. I tend to underestimate the total supplies I must buy and tend to overstock on perishables. For things that do not perish easily, actually, it is still all right.

I do not buy perishables online. I only buy items which will not be broken especially the handling.

I definitely agree that online shopping is the trend and the future of business. Ecommerce is now a must for every business . People are more online these days and you would need to have a presence online to get more customers and business. Aprt from the advantages you have mentioned , one of the other advantages of being online is you get a variety of products and different variants. You may not get that option in stores. Plus , there are good offers online that sometimes are way better than what you get offline. I do agree we need to shop from online stores which we feel safe and the payment options are safe as well. Have a great weekend!
