I have found that I do not go shopping in stores that much. I do most of my shopping online. I think its easier to spend more money when I am in the store than online. I think about it more when I have to order it. When I have it in my hands it ususally will go home with me , lol..How do you but your stuff? In the store or online?

I always do shopping physically, i will do shopping on Internet only when i dpon't find good cloths in physical shops and only if it's really cheap! ^o^ It's better to shop physically for me to try if the clothes are good or not for us because we can't try it on Internet and if we buy a cloth that we can't wear, it's disappointing...

I started shopping online because it is more convenient. I just don't spend as much as I would going in as store. In a store I am more of an impulse buyer. Yes teh downfall is when the sizing is wrong or it doesn't look like the picture...

I always go to stores if I have to shop and buy some clothes. I dont like shopping online because its not really very popular here in my country. For me, it would be difficult to make transactions online especially if you are not sure of the company where you bought the items. I have this idea that I will not be able to trust them unless I have direct contact with it. Maybe I will go for online shopping unless it will be more published here in my country.

Wow I never really considered the availability of online shopping in other countries. It is a risk and a pain if what you see online looks different from you get. I think its more convenient because I do not have to fight for parking and have to get dressed up all the time to shop. A lot of the times I do find it cheaper to shop online lately though. I guess it all depends on circumstance thanks for replying.

while i like to look on the internet for things that are really different that you cannot find around here, i like to go into brick and morter stores because i like to look at the item from every angle, try it on, etc.

I like looking too. That's my problem, I look, I like, and then I buy. That's my problem. I am a compulsive shopper when things are on sale, look cute, and so forth. Thanks for input.

Hi there. If it's something I could buy in a regular brick-and-mortar store, I prefer to go out and buy it personally. That way, I get to inspect the item I'm buying before actually purchasing it, especially if it's a high-value item (e.g. electronics). Of course, for stuff that they don't sell in my locality - or in our country for that matter, such as Japanese Pop CDs - I have no other option but to purchase them online. Even then, I am quite careful with where I buy these items since they are a bit costly so I don't want to take any chances with bogus sellers.

Yeah sometime you do take a chance that what you're getting is not the real thing. High ticket items I like to see up close and personal. I guess that is why I do not buy them online when I do . I rethink my purchase which saves me money. I would like to know where my savings from not buying things are though?. The economy has be come expensive for basic needs that what I save from not buying is going to them anyway when I use gas, electric, food, etc.......Ugh! Thanks for your input.

Yes being able to touch and try on is easier and you have less returns like that. Sometime pictures can be deceiving to. I am going to mall now I am thinking too much about shopping and I am ready to spend some dollars. Watch now I am going I won't be able to find a thing. Take care and thank you for commenting.

I do a lot of my clothes shopping online. The only clothes shop I really shop at online is asos.com, they are only an e-tailer and don't have an actual store. I would probably still order off their website even if they did operate a real store because it's easy, fast and convienient for me. I also buy my books online from amazon because you can get three books off of amazon that are in good condition instead of one from a bookstore here. I love amazon and I'm always buying books or looking at books that I want to buy off the site. I tend to get really stressed when I shop in stores so thats another reason why I like shopping online.
