now that gas prices are higher? I have found that I am, expecially if it is something that I have already "checked out" and if there is free shipping.

I am looking more and more also on craiglist for things that I need as well, instead of buying new, like I need a computer desk, and I am holding out til I find one on there.

I don't shop online now more because of gas prices because I don't have a car, I bike everywhere.

I do shop online more cause I moved to a hick town that doesn't even have an undergarments store.

I shopped online last night for my boys clothes. I live in a small town outside of a larger city and it takes about 30 minutes to get from my house to the mall. Gas prices are outrageous! So last night yes I did shop online with free shipping!

Personally i haven't been shopping online(only because i am trying to pay off our credit card debt) but i am definitely seeing an increase in the amount of packages arriving at the Post Office for customers on my route. Lots of HSN.com, Ebay and catalog shoppers lately.

I've always done a lot of online shopping and am continuing to do so. I do rationalize that it is cheaper than driving around looking for something. I have better things to do. I get so frustrated going from store to store to look for something. For myself, I love LL Bean & Lands End sales. I looked around the other day and was able to find a free shipping coupon for LL Bean. I buy things for the girls from Kohls when they have .99 shipping!

I always was a BIG online shopper, but have cut down my buying drastically since the FTJ project.

I will only buy items that are on sale and have free shipping. When I'm ready to start shopping for BTS stuff, I'm definitely sticking with online.

I noticed that Lands' End has had recent "free shipping" or reduced shipping codes. I also have an LL Bean Visa card that gives me free monogramming and free shipping all of the time.

No, I like to see things before I buy them. I am just shopping less period.

Thanks to all the free shipping codes I have increased my online shopping rather than going to the store (like Kohls) due to gas prices. I wish more stores had free shipping, I'd shop there too.

Overall No, I am not shopping online more, but if there is something I am looking for I will see first if I can purchase it cheaper online than inperson in the store. Craigslist is a good online thing!
