Online Shopping VS Store Shopping

Amazon does sell the candy for more than the grocery store sold it. It was a huge shock to see the price and am trying to find other sites now. Thanks for the reply and yes there are a lot of products available online.

@Fishmomma I have regretted buying a few things online as they didn't look the same as the picture... like the colour of the purse I purchased recently. As for the pool filter, it was not available in Canada at all and $11 worth of long distance phone calls resulted in no dealership wanting to ship to Canada from the U.S. I bought it from ebay. The other thing that bugs me is these .ca websites (Americaneagle.ca and justfab.ca and others) they prices are actually American dollars being shipped from the U.S. and I have to pay an exchange rate on top of that. Total rip-off in my opinion. Why have a Canadian website but still charge American?

@patgalca I think that is terrible and $11 phone bill with bad results would have made me really angry. The exchange rate would certainly make me think twice before buying, as I don't like to return anything from online purchases. Some sites even charge a restocking fee, so I would be even more upset.

I agree about the shipping charges, as what might sound like a great deal isn't when you realize there are many places you have to pay them. Amazon has many places that you pay the charge, so its important to consider who will be paying and how easy it is to return products. My daughter buys her textbooks online, as she usually can find a better deal. The biggest exception is when the textbook was written by the teacher, as that means buying from the school. Clothes are one item that is a good idea to try it on before buying, as female sizes sure aren't the same from different companies. I know that what looks great on the web site might make me look really heavy or older than I am now and that would be bad. There is nothing worse then somebody asking where you bought it and clearly they want to avoid that company. Sorry about the pool filter and I know that is one place I have a challenge for parts. The pool parts are so expensive that you really hope everything doesn't need to be replaced anytime soon. Our pool isn't used much and I always thought we would use it a lot when we moved into the house. I didn't know how much work it is to keep the pool looking good. Thanks for posting.

I do shop on Amazon where there are great deals and certainly makes my gift giving a lot easier. My challenge is when a product is to high and I can't find it easily elsewhere. The candy I'm hunting for isn't a brand in the United States and am hoping one of the organic stores carries it. Sadly, its the only candy that has few ingredients that I can eat without any side affects. I realize candy isn't something I really need, so maybe having it less often. Thanks for the reply.

Wow, I think that is amazing, as there are certain food items like eggs I would never buy online. I use to live on a farm, so had lots of eggs now I visit the grocery store for them. I might start bartering for them soon, as trading lemons for other products saves me money.

@Fishmomma i dont buy groceries online..... actually i never buy groceries. my mom does that
