Default Shopping online versus going to a store

Do you like to shop online or go to a store? The one thing I like about a store is if I have to exchange an item, I don't have to worry about shipping fees.

I like to shop online at Walmart and pick it up at the store. That way you don`t pay for shipping costs. I hate the crowds in the store. I do love to go to the malls though because of all the decorations they put up.

I prefer going to the store. It gives me some exercise and I get the chance to see and meet other people. Relieves the monotony of my own company too.

On or offline shopping is fine but it depends what I am shopping for. You can find awesome deals both ways but part of finding them is researching first. Same goes for just about anything you can buy online too, which I think some people tend to forget.

A lot of times I think it is just easier to buy online. You don't have to pack up the kids and fight off the crowds in the store. I do a lot of research before we buy anything either way though.

I like both ways! I love the deals I find online but only with free shipping. I only buy things that I can return in a store or things I know I won't be returning. I love amazon!

I shop both ways. I also love Walmart.com because it is free shipping to the store. If I shop online I usually find free shipping codes and also discount codes to use. I never pay full price when shopping online.

I like shopping in stores because I can really see and touch the quality of the item I am getting.

I don't really like large crowds of people so shopping online is much better for me. I like the fact that I can compare shop easily and I also like the fact that I can look up coupon codes to get some things cheaper. It's hard to compare shop if you are driving all around looking for the same product. I know shopping online has the risk of having my debit card info hacked but that could happen in a store too so it doesn't really bother me to much. I really follow my bank statements and credit reports so the first sign of anything hinky I am on it.

I want to physically check the things I'm buying so I'd rather buy things on a brick and mortar store than through online store. Although I still buy some things online when I can't find that specific item in our local store.

It all depends on what I'm buying. I like to go into stores to look at the items and I like that I can return them to the store too. I only shop online through amazon and then stores that are in my area.
