1. You don’t get to see the in-store specials.

2. You can’t see/feel/touch it before you buy it.

3. I miss out on the doughnut and milkshake I usually buy when going to the shopping centre…(hmmm…might be a pro…)

4. No gift wrapping option.

5. Online shopping is supremely addictive!

So as I sit here in my wine-stained PJ’s, wrapping the gifts that come to my door, I realise that online shopping for me personally is a lot less stressful. Now, bring my online grocery shopping and a school bus to my area and I will never leave my house again!

Happy Christmas shopping everyone!

    Be wary of online coupon sites- I have just come to the end of a 4 month battle with one to get a refund on an item that I never received. I still have 2 other items that are well past their delivery dates that I am fighting to either receive or get a refund on!! The same company breached the privacy of 200 customers in a group email and ignored repeated emails from all of us requesting contact re the missing items. This seems to be a common problem judging from my discussions with other customers, so be prepared to win some and potentially lose some on these sites!
