Which is more convenient to shop and why? Is it easier for you?

If I know exactly what i want, then I'll shop online as it's usually cheaper and don't have to fight parking, crowds.  But sometimes I like going down to the store, just to walk around and see what's new.

We like to shop in stores, because we know that we can get what we are looking for right then and there, so there is no waiting around for things to come fed ex or any other way.

I shop online because I have PAD and COPD and it makes it hard for me to physically shop.

For the majority I like to buy in stores, because there's no cost of shipping or the anxiety of waiting for a package to be shipped in time.

I enjoy both, but so far I've been mainly shopping online.  Got some things off of Etsy and looking forward to getting them.  I'll probably be shopping in stores this weekend.

I got to really enjoy shopping online.Using Paypal and just the easy way of doing so.I enjoy the shopping networks on TV too and so does my wife.

I shop more online if I can get free shipping.  My mother and I used to go on day-long shopping trips to the mall, pausing for lunch to fortify ourselves for the afternoon, then ending up with dinner at a nice restaurant.  She's gone now and so is the enjoyment.

i tend to shop more online at christmas and other times of the year as well. Between the winter weather and the fact that I have troulbe getting around large stores I pretty much shop locally or on line. I start my Christmas shopping early  :rose: :turkey: :peace:

I am learning to shop online much more which is something I never thought I'd do :)

Now I am comfortable doing some searching for products online and since I have joined a Cash Back site I am very excited to do the shopping for even the most mundane household items......

I get Cash Back AND free shipping on toothpaste, dishsoap, cat food, even cat litter......I don't have to drive to the store anymore, unless I choose to.

With my Cash Back site, I am even able to order it online and pick it up at the store if I am in the area anyway.

Like FusionCash pennies that add up, the Cash Back I get on money I am spending anyway is really adding up!!  Can't beat that!

I like to shop a little of both.  Being in the stores gives me some holiday spirit, provided I can just leave when I've had enough.  Online is convenient and you can check various sites easily for product, pricing, and shipping.  However, providing personal financial info over the internet creeps me with all the malware nowadays.
