For convenience and available selection, yes. For price, NO!

I guess it depends on what I need and how much I want to take the kids with me. But hands down, brick and mortar stores have to clear out the merchandise and they need to attract customers into their stores so they have by far better sales, especially right now with the economy in the dumper!

However, I want to be able to get the item I want in the SIZE I want and don't want to be told to go back to my home to go online to buy it!

I do online shop but never again with Limited Too. They put a hold on far to much money last year at Christmas. I ordered $40 and they sent it through and held $240 and wouldn't do anything for 2 weeks to stop it. It was a huge pain!!!

I love online shopping. Stores like Target get me in trouble! I was in Target a few days ago and ended up buying so many items that were not on my list. When I shop online I have a list and a budget and I stick to it. Plus, it is easier to find sizes that I want. I am tiny, so finding things in small sizes are hard to find. If it doesn't fit, no biggie, I just bring it back and get a credit and try again! I also use places like ebates and bigcrumbs.com to get cash back when I shop.

I love shopping online! I buy a lot of books though Amazon. I also will buy things through Kohls online when they are having their 30% off sales and I don't have a 30% off coupon. I never buy through any site without first checking for a coupon code though...and 90% of the time I find one. =)

where do you find coupon codes if you don't have one already and the site doesn't specify when you go there??

Alot of coupons are coming from retailmenot.com That is a great site. Another one is couponcabin.com If you don't see what you're looking for just google "StoreName coupon codes" (obviously putting in the store's name) and check the results. I'm sure you'll find a code that works most of the time! =)

I love shopping online if I can find deals. I usually will find something that I want, and then Google it to see what other sites will sell it and who's got the best bargains on it. I have been able to find great things that typically go for around $100 for less than $40ish, and most of the time never have to pay shipping!

Clothes and toys and thing (for Little Bit) are typically cheaper to just to to WalMart or Target for right now at his age, but if I find a good deal on something that we have needed then I will usually jump on the case.

Another good point about shopping online for me is that not only am I a SAHM, but we are a one car family. So hubby takes it to work every day, and LIttle Bit and I are stuck here at the house without a way to GO shopping!

Amazon.com has a RSS feed and also a twitter account. They will send you lightning deals when they become active. These are sometimes really good deals. Another site I check on a daily basis is www.bradsdeals.com. I've bought many items starting from there. couponcabin is a good site. also, just do a google search for "coupon codes" and you'll get a plethora of coupon sites to search for just the right coupon code.

I prefer shopping online. I spend less money that way and it's less hassle. I also buy everything off-season. It only takes one season to start doing it. You can get great t-shirts at most of the online stores for less than $10 right now, and you can find coupons for free shipping, most of the time. When spring gets here, you'll already be set, and you can search for fall apparel.

Hope this helps.
