Do you shop online a lot or do you still do it the traditional way?

I am very happy that we have the option of online shopping now. However, I still find it gratifying to get into the car, park and do my shopping. I have been wanting to switch to online shopping since gas prices are through the roof, even for groceries. I do have to admit that shopping online is a lot of fun also. You can compare prices a lot easier, you can find things online that stores sometimes don't carry, and if you buy directly from the company, it's usually cheaper! I have definitely turned to online shopping a bit more than I used to. The process had become a lot easier and more secure which makes it more appealing. Have you done a lot of your shopping online? Or do you still prefer to do it all the old fashion way?

I have never shopped online yet. It looks like it would be handy, and fun. I have seen loads of things I wouldn't mind having. It is mostly because I do not have a credit card that I do not. I would not use my bank debit card, mostly because I do not use it that way. I hate buying things on credit, I almost always pay with cash. Well everything except my bills.Those I use money orders for.

Don't money orders cost money? A lot of banks have bill pay now for a monthly fee. Then you just have to get online and no stamps! My husband and I do not have credit cards either. It isn't too smart to use our debit card, but we haven't had any problems yet.
Knock on wood or whatever works.

IN the past I would have said I'd much rather shop live but the reality is alot of what I like (fashion wise and whatnot) isnt readily available to me...also with the health issues I have and that have gotten worse as time goes on, shopping online really is a much better option for me..

I am a traditional shopper, I have shopped online before and do enjoy the conveince of it but am always afraid of having my information stole like my brother did with his. I also like the human interaction when shopping outside of them home, except around the holidays when it is so crowded. I might get back online them.
