Title: Online Shopping

Do you shop online? What are your favorite places to order from?
Since we're over here in Korea (and before then, Wyoming, which has even less stuff locally available), I do most of my shopping online. We get DVDs, books, clothes, and miscellaneous stuff from Amazon, and I also order from Adagio Teas (www.adagio.com) on a regular basis. I get clarinet reeds and sheet music from Woodwind and Brasswind (www.wwbw.com).
Oh, and I get stuff from Fictionwise (www.fictionwise.com) ALL the time, but it's ebooks so it's a bit different.

The most shopping online is through eBay but we've used other websites like amazon.com. We've also bought medicine online.

I haven't bought anything online. I still like to go to the store and see what I am getting. A bit ironic since I am totally electronic when it comes to paying bills etc.
I think I have an issue putting my credit card details out there but I do it for banking....go figure :doh:
I am just looking into food shopping on line and will probably start that in the next week or so. Do you do that as well?

I have in the past---not so much lately, because I haven't been as strict with eating healthy as I should be. I used to order nuts and seeds from True Foods Market (www.truefoodsmarket.com), and there was a company whose name and website I can't remember that sold some really yummy dehydrated cookies. Also used to get dates from Dateland (www.dateland.com, go figure) because they're SO much better than the ones from the store.

Don't shop online...I go to the stores. I'm so old fashioned, I know! :tease:

I do quite a bit of shopping online....no food shopping, but clothes, gifts, toys, etc...as a matter of fact, I just got done ordering a 4-drawer file cabinet and a replacement toner cartridge & paper from Office Max....free delivery, no S&H charges...so why not?
It's just easier for me....plus it's exciting to get stuff in the mail...
Why do you think I started ordering Avon through Lynn?? B)

A few years ago, when online shopping was just getting started I used to get the best deals! Christmas 2000 I think, I spent about $200 on presents for my entire family - husband, daughter, neices, nephews, BILs, SILs, parents, and siblings. It was amazing! I got tons of stuff for free or almost free. THEN retailers got wise. They stopped letting you stack coupons and started charging for shipping. Oh, that same year I won a cappucino machine and bread machine on buybidwin.com
ahhh, those were the days!
These days my shopping is a more limited. I buy my daughter's jeans at gap.com or childrensplace.com because it's the only place I can get her slim cut jeans. I buy books at CBD.com. I buy toys from Amazon.com when I can't get to ToysRUs. And I buy and sell on Ebay.

Lynn can mail avon to us?? Hmmmm...That's a nice idea--I'll PM her for details..
The most online chopping uh..shopping that we do is books and icons
When I was in college--(I'll finish someday!)I ordered my textbooks because it was tons cheaper..
I don't like ordering clothes because sometimes they dont fit right and it is a pain to return etc...
