Why do YOU shop online?
I love to shop online. It was actually the sole reason why I got a credit card in the first place. When I finally had that beautiful piece of plastic in my hands, I went straight to an e-commerce store and bought a bunch of goodies. Nowadays, I always prefer to buy online as opposed to brick and mortar stores.
Why, you ask, do I prefer to buy online? Well, let me count the ways!
1) I can find better prices
I’m very strategic about my purchases in general. I always want to save money and find the best deals. The beauty of online shopping is that I can easily search for coupon & discounts in Google. If my purchase isn’t urgent, I can also take my time to wait for items to go on sale. I use comparison shopping websites to make sure I’m buying at the best price possible, even for my supermarket shopping!
2) I can buy products from abroad
Sometimes, there’s amazing products out there that haven’t managed to make their way to my area. But with all the worldwide shipping options that e-commerce stores offer, that’s no longer a problem. I can have it all shipped directly to me, and I’ve never actually had to pay for the shipping!
3) Savings on gas and time
Gas is so expensive here, and I can’t afford to waste it. Parking alone can take me ten minutes while I try to find an open spot. Then, I spin around all over the supermarket or store trying to figure out what I want, only to purchase even more than I had intended & then spend 20+ minutes waiting in line at the cash register! Not only does it take a heavier toll on my pocket, it takes my valuable time away. Since I switched to online shopping, I have saved so much time & gas money. (And I don’t have as many snack items lying around at home)
4) I love the hours
E-commerce stores are open 24-7. You know when my supermarket is open? Up until I arrive home from work. That’s no good! I used to leave work early or wake up early on my days off so I could make it on time to the supermarket. No more! I can just get everything delivered comfortably.
I shared the reasons why I shop online. How about you – why do you shop online? Share below!
I love shopping online – it’s very convenient and you can get just about anything!
I love shopping online; its always convenient, I find better deals and it gets delivered to my door.. what more do I want… just LOVE it
It is so easy to shop online. I am with you. I love the hours as I am quite the night owl. Brick and Mortar stores never seem to be open at a time convenient to me.
Plus I am lazy. It’s super easy to shop from home in my jammy jams. 😉
I love how easy it is to comparison shop online!
I love buying online at Target. Because I have noticed that when I go into their store the price is higher than their online price. I recently went to buy a car seat for my soon to be son and online it showed $109.99 we went to the store to get immediately and it was $129.99 so we decided that we would order it online and since we spent more than $50.00 it had free shipping and we saved $20.00 where can you get a better deal..
I looove shopping online too! I love saving gas and also being able to easily price compare as well as find coupon codes and shipping deals!
I do a lot of shopping online, especially if the store offers free shipping! I can often find better deals online.
I love online shopping! You can find such great deals….especially when you follow a site like mine!! It’s the best way to go!!
I love online shopping because I can find great deals, and boy do I!
well, let’s see. i’m really good at it, it’s fun, i can maximize my spending, and i can usually find something online if its not in stock in a store.
I shop online for the ease of access, the convenience and the large selection available.
Definitely the convenience of it. There is a better selection, the prices are comparable and I can shop in my PJs
I love to shop online for the convenience. Why battle traffic and crowds when I can shop in the privacy of my home (probably wearing sweats)?
I love to shop online for all of the deals that I find! It’s just so much easier!
I agree with all of your reasons! I can almost always find a better deal online than I could in a store, and so many sites offer free shipping that it totally eliminates the cost of gas. I also love the variety of sizes available online. I guess I’m a pretty common size, because when I visit a store, my size is often out of stock. This just isn’t the case online.
