Personally I like shopping online because I feel I can have time to get a better view of things without feeling rushed with the crowd of people around. I can find really good deals like this and the variety of stores you can find online are endless. Its much better price wise as well as being convienent.

Well, for me I like to go shopping in the mall. I can choose better if I see it personally. Most often I go shopping when they are on sale,there's a big discount. We have so many malls here in our place and you can also enjoy to go window shop if you don't have the money. You can choose from different booth what to eat for lunch or for a snack at minimal cost. There are also expensive restaurant in the mall, but I prefer the booth besides the supermarket, they are low in price.

I would go buy at the mall more often but the prices are higher there compared to just stores not located in the mall. I think the businesses have to pay a high rent fee for being in the mall.

I agree with you elmiko, but when you are at the mall you have many choices to choose. It also depend on the budget you have. There are mini bazaar on the isles of the department stores and food booth which offer low price. At the bazaar you can ask for discount, unlike in the dept. stores. They just give discounts during sale period, usually starts on friday till sunday. If you come early you will get the best buy. Thanks for your response.

Hello elmiko. I havent tried shopping online. I like shopping in malls. I like sorting out clothes and other items in malls.

I don't buy cloths online either. Thats kind of risky considering same sizes can be diffrent depending on the brand.

Yes, I rather shop online than go to a store. I do not like stores full of people in a crowd. I can in peace look at things I am interested on and not be disturbed by people around me. Do not get me wrong here, I am not a phobias of people. But I like do things in peace. And believe me or not, but some times when I sit here online and look at stuff I would like to have, some times I get to think why and actually do not by it if I tend to find out I really do not need it. I can change my mind faster when shopping online rather in a store.

I rather shop on line, I can't stand the long lines in some of the stores especially when some of the people in it are yakking on their cell phones and not paying any attention about moving up or putting their articles on the counter so the cashier can do their job. Some of the customers are really a pain in the neck and slow the lines down because they're not sure they want some of the things in their baskets or sure if they have enough money.

Thats another reason why I like shopping online because you don't have to deal with wating in lines. I think that actually waste too much time in life and time is one of the most valuable things there is.

Thats true and thats why I avoid stuff like buying cloths online because I don't know if they will fit properly even though its my size. Electronics I think are kind of risky but as long as you have a site with a good reputation like amazon there should be no problem exchanging it.

it depnds with me really... christmas time i do enjoy doing it online, i can get much from amazon in 1 day.. nearly all of it be sorted :) whereas if in the town it would take me much longer, there is the parking problem, the queus, bad weather, carrying many bags.. So online its less stressful, warmer and relaxed. I do enjoy going out shopping if its for clothes.. i like to try them on as thats part of the fun, although sometimes if i want real nice summer dresses or club wear i like ebay, buying from other country from power sellers, brand new as they going to be more unique :)) Be nothing worse then dressing up in your new dress to go to a club and seeing someone else wearing exactly the same dress lool Gadgets i wil look online for, checking out the reviews is very nice.. and as say you can get a better deal online if you shop around.. There is more choice online compared to your own shopping center.

Thats 1 thing i've never bought online is cloths. I don't know whether they will fit me because same sizes can be diffrent depending on brand and the comfort can't be felt.

I enjoy doing my shopping online. I live in a small area and there aren't many clothing stores to chose from. There is so much variety to chose from online, not only for clothes, but for many other household and everyday things. Although there might be a wait to get what I ordered, it definetely feels worth it to find better things at better prices.

Thats good you have the internet in your area for reasons like that. It actually could be a good thing that you live in a small area because people can save money online. The waiting is not a problem for me as i'm patient as a person.
