Shopping On-line or in stores? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 12-09-2005, 08:33 PM

I have done most of my shopping in the stores...I think I may buy at least two things on-line...it will be my first time buying Xmas gifts online.

Well I'm not buying anything this year. Normally I would get things from stores, but I've done online shopping before. It's fun.

Karen* · 12-09-2005, 08:41 PM

I would shop online if I had a credit card!

Crimson and Clover · 12-09-2005, 08:49 PM

in store. i have no way to shop online

dawsongirl · 12-09-2005, 11:04 PM

I'd shop for everything but clothes online if I could find what I want. I buy all DVDs and media stuff online. It's usually cheaper. I also buy all my books online. Many of our shopping centers are right in the middle of the busiest side of town and I get annoyed in traffic.

Online mostly. I do a ton of research before I actually buy though.

Mostly online except for clothes and shoes. Also go to several different websites and compare prices. Try Ebay at a last resort. That's why I'm broke.

I buy just about everything online. I compare prices at different websites, and look for promotion codes.

I don't do that much shopping, but I bought a present for my mom from amazon

Pitooey · 12-10-2005, 12:23 PM

I have been buying at the stores. I find that the Online shipping charges are expensive (for me anyway)...

I will buy something online only if I can't find it anywhere.

I don't have any money this year, because I gave my paycheck to a neighbor who was getting kicked out, and needed rent money. Usually though I prefer doing my shopping at the mall. I love the smells, the sounds, and the festive atmosphere of the mall. You just can't experience those things shopping online.

Number 9 Dream · 12-10-2005, 02:32 PM

I personally would rather shop in stores than online

I just don't trust online shopping as much...plus, I'd rather have the experience of going out and finding whatever I want than simply clicking on "add to shopping cart". I need the exercise anyway.

However, I will use ebay as a last resort if it's something vintage and I can't find it in any local stores
