Shopping strategy?

[BoatBuoy]

A few short years back, our local sales tax went up. The Christmas after that happened, I did near 100% of my shopping via the internet, the sales tax being offset by freight rates. <br /><br />With the increase in freight rates due to oil costs, I'm expecting to do most, if not all, my shopping locally this year.<br /><br />How much of your shopping do you expect to do via PC?

Sales tax? What's that? <br /><br />99% of the things I buy come from ebay. There's no reason to pay retail prices for anything anymore.

shopping for what? I don't go to the store unless I have something to buy that I think I can't live without, and, I coitanly don't look around for something else to buy.

Re: Shopping strategy?

That's an interesting question BoatBuoy...<br /><br />I typically shop EBay first before I go anywhere else. It greatly depends on the item I'm looking for.<br /><br />If I'm buying new, I will always look on the net first and then compare prices locally.<br />Since I live about 20 miles from town... I weigh the difference in gas and my time vs. having it shipped to my door.<br /><br />Sometimes it's cheaper to get locally, and sometimes it isn't. Again, it all depends on what you're after.<br /><br />So I guess I'd have to say... I do most of my shopping on the net.<br /><br />H.

Most online shopping requires a credit card. Nobody in this world would be foolish enough to give me a credit card.

My Christmas shopping strategy is that my wife does it in the late summer/early fall. Makes life easier, she likes to do that stuff, I am one of those last minute types for the most part. We mainly buy local with some internet purchases.

PayPal will give a debit card to just about anyone. (and most people qualify for 1.5% cash back on all purchases)
