I mostly do offline shopping because there's a mall near my place . There are supermarket, stores which sell apparels, electrical appliances, personal care products and shoes. A wet market is also within a few minutes walk. But I do online shopping occasionally. I only buy from online stores which are reputable and trustworthy. When they have a promotion, I order from them. I buy packets of milk, frozen food, toilet paper and canned food. They are heavy and it's convenient that they are delivered to my home. I also buy books, concert or movie tickets online. Do you buy online or offline? What items do you buy if you buy online?

I buy offline. There is a store less than 4 km from my house. I drive my car there, shop and drive the items home again.
Once in a while Pretty will order something online.

I just buy online when they have special promotion because there's a mall near my place.

@Beestring That's probably a good idea. We just don't think to check for online sales.

@DaddyEvil I check their website everyday and I also receive their email if there are any good deals.

@Beestring The good thing also on offline, specifically for appliances, we can try that actual if it's working or not. Unlike online.

@luisga814 You have a point there. I don't buy appliances or computer online.

You find buying items at physical stores cheaper? Here, we sometimes can get very good deals at online shops.

I do online shopping occasionally but I just buy from reliable stores. No problem so far.

So far I only like online to shop, but when I move maybe I will venture out to stores nearby.

I do most of my shopping online since i can't walk far distances anymore so the convenience of having it delivered works well for me. As for groceries we usually do a pick-up at the store or my daughter actually goes in and does the shopping.

@Beestring having everything so close makes more sense to shop there rather than buying online

I buy offline because lots of shops are just a few minutes walk from my place. I don't need to buy a lot every time. Otherwise, I'll buy online too.

For fresh vegetables and groceries physical stores or open markets are the best option however for clothes, online shopping is also preferable

I don't buy fresh vegetables online. I got them in the supermarket or the wet market.

I do both. I would love to never go in a store again, but I don't think it's possible.

Online most definitely except for food . I love markets and small food shops so I shop for food offline. Everything else I mostly do online.
