I tend to shop online for gifts, books, music, all my computer stuff, subwoofer and centre speaker for the TV. I don’t buy more because, well, I don’t have the money to shop that much 😉

And of course I book all my travel online.

I find if I know what I want, online is the way to go … I come home from work, I don’t want to change, rush out to get to the store, re-arrange dinner, just to pick up something – or worse find it is out of stock that day.

But, there are also times when I like to go to a store because I’m not 100% sure what I want. or I need to see what it is I’m buying. Clothes for example – my uniforms for work I would love to buy online. Standard style, brand and size, and half the time the store is out of stock on the day I get there. But for other clothes, I want to see what it is I’m buying because it isn’t “standard”.

A TV – I want to see what the picture looks like before I buy it. A DVD player though – buy online and get it shipped.

For me it isn’t quite so much the wanting a specific thing nor hating shopping as such. It’s just that I have other things I would rather be doing with my limited free time. Online shopping saves me time.
