- - - -¥♪?How do you buy most of your items?♪¥- - - -
Do you buy them online, like amazon or from the website, etc?
Or do you buy them by actually going OUT of your house and buying them?
I go out and buy them most of the time. But if it's something that I can't find anywhere, I'll order it online.
However, ordering takes longer, but finding what you want at the store takes pretty long, too.

It depends on what it is. I started buying a lot of clothing online because I can not find clothes that I like in stores around here. I buy music online, books, comics, art supplies, and things I can't find otherwise. I also buy in stores a lot except for clothes. It all depends on what it is.

Depends on what it is I'm looking to buy. I live in a small community so there's not a lot of items around here if I'm looking for something specific. In general though, I shop for food here in the town. I go to the city for clothes and books. Online I shop for movies and video games. I also bought more online recently, but those are Christmas gifts.

I buy pretty much everything online. I generally can't find the things I want in stores - I have an odd taste in books/music (or at least not mainstream enough to find on the high street) and when it comes to clothes, in particular, I'm really picky.Plus I'm generally on a tight budget, and I'm less likely to get tempted to buy something impulsively when I'm shopping online. And it's conveniently delivered to my door! Really, there are no disadvantages.

I am the traditional kind of person who prefers to buy things from the store. I like to feel and to touch my purchases, especially if its clothes or electronic gadgets. I would be pretty upset if I paid for the merchandise and if it didn't fit me or function well. And returning the stuff would be hard, wouldn't it?
I am though, open to buying things online if its thing such as CDs and all from reputable sites. But I have not tried yet. Am not too sure of the procedures actually. Oh, and the shipping costs! I think shipping to my place costs a bomb or something =.= I think I checked once and the shipping had costs more than the item itself.

I buy wherever I can get what I'm looking for cheapest (including shipping). I'll buy online if there's no place local who has it, but I won't pay shipping on something if I can drive over to buy it at a store (and then I don't have to wait for it to come in the mail).

I buy most things online. The only things I buy from stores are groceries (as I like to choose my own and make sure things are fresh), and shoes as I like to try them on. Everything else I get from eBay or online stores.

I usually go to the store and buy stuff. But there is a lot of stuff that normal stores don't carry that I really like and want. That's when I resort to online shopping :3. But I mainly shop at justmanga.com, seeing as they carry LOADS of anime, manga, and whatnot 8D. But also sometimes shopping online is a little bit cheaper :3

I prefer to go to the store and buy stuff. I like immediate gratification. I want it as soon as I buy it. However, I do buy stuff online when I'm looking for something specific and can't find it where I live, usually gifts for others.

when Sora is regular shopping, then he'll get what he needs and usually a movie for the night.
Sora mostly shops online because you can get stuff cheaper and the stores actually have it in stock 24/7 online.
Sora really loves to shop online for holidays!

Usually I buy things for local stores but when it comes to clothing I buy most my clothing online. Due to the fact the style I love doesn't have any stores that sell it around here.

I definitely PREFER to go out and buy my stuff. That way I can walk around the store and slowly put down all the non-essential things that I had picked up (i'm terrible about impulse shopping). But I am not able to go out and am forced to buy everything online now. It's sad. I end up spending a lot more money online too, cause you don't actually SEE the money going, so it just keeps going and going. T_____T So hard to save that way. I wish I didn't have the internet right now! Now I'm gonna have to buy something and it's so hard to fight impulse shopping online! Nooooooo!

i have never in my life bought anything online even though i have seen some epic online exclusives i don't own a credit card XD so going to the store is the choice for me and plus you get to try the stuff before you buy it ...unless its food or something like that that you can't try before you buy XD

I prefer shopping in the stores. I like to see, touch, and hold the items I'm about to purchase. Definitely helps prevent me from impulse buying, because I use cash. So I have to take into consideration that I have to carry the thing home AND I'll need to make sure I have enough money for public transportation. xD
Also, when it comes to buying clothes, I'm shaped so oddly that just because it LOOKS nice online, doesn't mean it'll look good on me. So I have to try on clothes and shoes a couple of times to make sure the colors and design of the outfit looks good on me. ^^:;

I always go outside to buy the thing I want, seeing it in person helps me choose if I really want it or not, I never buy online because the delivery costs alot since I live so far away, and I'm too young, my parents would kill me.

It depends on what I'm buying.
If it's clothing or jewelry or something of the sort, I buy it in real life. Although I do occasionally order things online, but only if the store doesn't have it in my size and I'm unable to find it anywhere else. I like to try things on before I purchase them, and sometimes you can't really tell exactly what something looks like just from pictures on the Internet.
I buy my books and CDs and such online usually, though. I like to buy things like that used, so I can get it for a much lower price.
In some ways, I like both methods. For some reason I like to actually go searching for things and then physically see them, but I think that's mainly because I'm incredibly bored all of the time and it's something to do. On the other hand, I prefer online shopping sometimes because you don't have to deal with annoying store employees like you do in real life... I don't know why, but they drive me insane.

It really depends on what I'm buying and when I need the item by. If it's not available locally, I'll usually buy it online. If I need it in a hurry, I usually don't buy online, because I don't like paying for next-day shipping.
I don't buy clothing online anymore. I used to buy a bunch of T-shirts, but I have so many flippin' shirts now, I don't know what to do with all of them, so I don't buy them anymore. And I rarely buy food online (though right now I'm custom-ordering some M&M's that have special print on them, so this will be my first time buying food online, hah).

I shop online. This year I've done all my Christmas shopping on Etsy, because I want to be able to support small UK businesses, and I love the idea of buying hand-crafted items for people instead of mass manufactured, over-priced tatt from high street stores.
I live in a small rural town so choice here is minimal to put it mildly. I buy all my clothes on Ebay now, because I can buy good quality, top brand items for the same price (or a LOT less) than I was paying for cheap crap from the cheap stores in town.
Ilike the concept of shopping, but I find the reality of it frustrating, I do vastly prefer to shop online. The only downside for me is the amount of catalogues that I then receive because I bought one thing from a company 6 years ago.

The only thing I really buy online are games and books, and even then most of the time I simply go to the store to purchase them.

It depends on how quickly I need it.
If I really need to get something quickly, i'll go to a store. Generally, though, i buy online. Less hassle.

I go out and buy things most of the time. I feel iffy about using my credit card on all sorts of sites, sometimes I may not know much about the site. And I usually prefer to pay in cash anyway which I can't do online. So most of the time just going to the store is easier for me and I guess it is more what I am used to. I have bought things online on several occasions though. My boyfriend does it more than I do. I also don't really like having to pay shipping and then waiting around for the stuff to arrive. If I buy it at the store I have it that day.
