I HATE Shopping!

I know women are supposed to love to shop. I don't. I hate crowds, I hate traffic, I hate the competition of a big sale. I wish I was rich and had a personal shopper to browse the racks and bring clothes to my house. Everytime I go shopping, I wear the wrong clothes and I'm either too hot or to cold, my shoes hurt my feet or i have too many layers on and can't try clothes on. I figure I'll just stick to shopping online.

You can buy just about anything online and have it delivered right to your door, or for that matter, anyone's door! This can be a great convenience especially if you don't have time, (or you hate) shopping. You often get special internet deals, too. Here are some more great reasons to shop online.

1. Lower prices

Online shopping can reduce overhead costs in a variety of ways, which can translate to lower prices for you.

2. Research ability

You can compare products and prices, surf around until you find the best deal, not only on the item you want but the shipping costs, too. You can get a really good description and information about products on a website versus a print catalog.

3. Increased selection

Most businesses can't stock everything in a store, so they have online shopping and a larger selection.

4. Convenience

You can shop 24/7, at your leisure, even in your undies, or...naked! .

5. Time Saver

There is no traveling, parking, and walking involved. You can shop for 30 minutes after work and find the perfect shoes and it probably would have taken you half a day at the mall!

7. Good for the Environment

There is reduced fuel consumption and air pollution, because so much of our car travel is dedicated to shopping. The need for print catalogs is zero.

8. Personal Shopper

When you go to Shopping.com or Buy.com, it's like having a personal shopper that does all the running from store to store, while you sit at your desk sipping a cool drink or warm cocoa. It's great!
