Do You Shop Online?

I prefer to shop online. Shopping in NYC, although great, can be a real hassle. Too many people, things picked over, not always a good experience. So if I shop online, everything is nice and tidy and delivered right to my house.

Sure, there's that what if it doesn't fit or look good issue, but I tend to shop from places that I know what size works for me and I have returned items through the mail with no issue.

I always look for a coupon code and often can get really great deals online. So even though I'm paying for shipping (unless I have a coupon code that removes shipping), I can usually work out some sort of discount.

My favorite online shopping is Etsy Vintage. Oh the deals!

If I'm in the suburbs visiting my parents, however, I love shopping at the mall.

Do you do most of your shopping online? Why or why not?

I prefer to shop online too.  Although for me the ease of point, click, purchase makes it a little too easy to go overboard!

I prefer to go and shop. I seem to find better deals that way and don't have to worry about shipping costs. I do however have to drive there and take my toddler with me. So I suppose if I could find the same deals online with low shipping that I would probably rather shop online.

momoflilangel, if you use www.retailmenot.com and other similar sites you can find free shipping PLUS coupons for almost every website available.  I would say 99% of the time I can get at least 10% off of whatever I'm ordering, if not more by using online coupon codes.

I like shopping for real too, but the convenience of online shopping is soooooo hard to pass up. I can go to target.com, walmart.com, or sellbits.com and be done so quickly. Maybe I'll try and mix it up this year...

I would much rather shop online..I have found that I have become impatient in my older years and would rather stay home to shop.  If I could I would have my groceries delivered to me!  For those Mothers that do like to shop online I sell AVON and have my own website.  You can order online safely and securely and have your purchases delivered directly to where you live.  Shipping costs 3 dollars unless we have a coupon code.  My web address is amysavonstore.com.  Check it out!

I love shopping online.

It's alot less hassle in my opinion, but I like traditional shopping as well....but NOT during the Holidays!

I always feel like I'm in the middle of a herd of cattle during the holiday shopping trips --- People can be downright nasty individuals.
There are some quite psycho shoppers out there during the holidays, they are willing to practically kill to get what they want.
