I love shopping... online and in person

Did you know that online shopping is becoming more and more commonplace? It has made lives easier by the accessibility that it offers. It provides more time for us to be at home rather than being outside amongst the crowd. It also gives the flexibility of being able to buy an item and return it with no problem (aside from shipping, of course!) But, all in all, it has basically made our lives easier.

Take Amazon for example. It is the largest online retailer- selling everything from books to car parts. It was founded in 1995 and it's only eleven years old, but generated so much revenue. I, for one, love Amazon. It is very convenient and make shopping easy. My husband and I, sometimes, end up buying things off Amazon rather than at the store since it provides cheaper prices and again, that word, accessibility. And, your order arrives between three days to a week. What can beat that?

But, this post isn't about Amazon. It is about how having access to a computer gives you the freedom to shop without anyone watching you. Don't take it the wrong way, I enjoy being in the store and being able to actually feel and touch, what it is I'm buying. The luxury that being able to shop online is when the size that you want isn't available in the store or they don't carry the merchandise since it hasn't arrived yet. Online shopping is just plain convenient.
