    Online is great for buying electronics and some hard to get food items, and books, small appliances.

    1. Never ever ever buy furniture online.

    2. Never buy clothes and shoes and anything you wear online.

    3. Food is a no no too. I have never ordered food item online.

    Yes, you save some money buying online, but say you saved $5 on 10 transactions, and then you get 1 bad in that 10 different items and you lose all your savings, shipping back that online merchandise is a no no.

    So, even though I am online looking around, now that I think about it, online shopping sucks, and ever since online shopping has started, I have more junk than before online shopping showed up.

    No more Ebay and no more Amazon for me...

  2. So...to summarize: Online is great for buying hard to get food items but you have never ordered food online? Other than placing an online order to have your local pizzeria deliver a pizza to your house, what other kinds of food do people really order?
