    What are your favorite things to buy online? I don't buy that many things online but when I do I like to get books on Amazon or things that I find hard to get off line.

    I usually buy Digital Stuff online. Mp3's on itunes and some really special movie that I would love to see that I have missed in the cinema.
    I also have bought a couple of video games this year from ebay and currently canvassing for a cheap video card that is compatible with my computer so I can play my newly bought video game.

    For me it has to be music. I like a very wide variety of music and some of my favorite bands are from other countries so it can be really difficult to find sometimes. I will usually get a CD and wait for the darn thing to clear through several custom checkpoints. This can take weeks but I have only had one not make it to me. I would put games in second place, again this comes into play when trying to find a foreign game or replacing an old favorite game that quit working.

    Yeah, also music, but that is when i can get the music with high quality and not that low quality business, that doesn't deserve my money. I guess other stuff like books and games are usually something that could be also bought online, because how easy it is to access them.

    I do the same thing, too; and I also like to check online for deals on certain products which would be more expensive if you bought them off line, like the organic or green products, for instance.

    The things that I like to purchase online is computer parts, clothing, make-up, and high heels. Well, I will essentially buy anything online that I find interesting. I don't go online and limit myself to a certain thing because there is always something that I find interesting online and I'm eager to purchase it. So, I'll buy anything online...it doesn't matter.

    I love to buy anything from home decoration supplies to school supplies to clothes and shoes.
    I love finding great deals during the holiday weekends and those end of the ear and anniversary sales. What I love the most is that usually when something is sold out in the store then I normally find a good deal on the same item online.

    I usually buy ebooks and music online. Since my husband bought me a Samsung galaxy tab I buy ebooks at least twice a month. In the past I would have to make time to go to a book store so that would limit my purchase to once a month. Now I spend more on books than I should since its just sooo convenient. Ebook stores also have promos and discounts more often than real bookstores so that's another reason I've been purchasing more frequently.

    There are so many ways to do price comparison online as opposed to going to the physical stores. This is why most of my shopping is done online. I find out the best price and purchase it. I mainly use the physical stores as a show room to test out the product in real life because those prices are slightly higher than online.

    Also, the added benefit with online shopping is that there is often cash back on the purchases that you have made, which can be substantial and maybe even negate the tax. I think that online shopping is a great cost saving way to help with the overall budgeting.

    If and when I have to make a purchase online I only go for Digital Products that are delivered to me instantly. They've been to many reports of people paying for something and never getting it delivered. If I want something fast, say software then I'll buy it online and start using it as soon as I pay for it. Any other products, I'll walk around the block and buy straight off the shelf.

    Generally I buy online small thinks like pendrive, books, sunglasses. I don't take risk to buy big things like Mobile Phones, Camera, Gamoing Conol and many more because I have bad experience in Online shopping

    I tend to get all my electronics and gadgets online. I have my websites that I trust and that I always return too.

    The main stuff I buy online is clothing. I like to shop online because it is generally cheaper than shopping for clothes on the high street. The online stores have lower overheads and this allows them to offer garments at cheaper prices. The downside is that you can't try the clothes on and I waste money returning stuff.

    I buy all kinds of things online....the only things I really DON'T like buying online would mainly be food/drinks/some clothes. Otherwise I'm up for most things, you can find a lot of good deals and unique products if you spend a little time on it.

    I am still new to the internet lifestyle and I am very cautious to what I make my purchases on. I purchased a Roku from a website last year around Christmas for a lot cheaper than I could have bought it in Wal-Mart. We love it and use it on a regular basis. I also have been known to buy healthy hygiene items from a web based company for my family and I Love their product as well. As for now I am unable to make any online purchases, but that doesn't stop me from shopping online.

    Consciously I cannot bring myself to making purchases online of shoes and cloths. I don't like the idea of not being able to try things on to see how they look on me or fit. I do compare prices on items I have plans on buying via the internet. I will shorten my big list down to 2 or 3 items to make a final comparison on in the store should I have to make a purchase in-store. My plans are to look for the best deals I can find before I make a purchase.

    My dad and fiance buy a lot of their books off of Amazon. I used to go to this cool book trading site, but haven't been on it in awhile. The people on it were so helpful, though. I also like to go to eBay for buying baby clothes in bulk, but I always choose the, "Buy it Now" option. I don't really like the auctions. Other than that, I just shop online when I have gift cards or there are some good deals on shipping!

    My favourite things to buy online are books and make up. I love to but books on Amazon because they are really cheap there and I love to buy make up online because it's gross buying them in stores. Once I was in my favourite drug store, Boots, and I saw a woman take a lip gloss from a shelf (that was not a tester), use it, and put it back. That spells disgusting with a capital D.

    My favorite thing to buy online are dvds now a days dvds can be so expensive especially the kid ones. I went to walmart and the kids dvds like lion king bugs life things like that are between 15-20 bucks each so I went on amazon and got those same dvds in great condition for about 5-10 a piece so I saved big time. So now when I want a new dvd for myself or kids I like to go to amazon or ebay.
