Confessions of a Shopaholic

As a big time shopaholic, I have made purchases both online and offline.The major upside of online shopping is, you can make prudent decisions.You can find up-to-date information about a product in various websites.You can visit the online forums to know the pluses and shortcomings of a product from the other users .You can also learn what others are buying, which product is the chart topper ,what are the alternatives available and alike.There is no hassle of running from pillar to post to meet your custom requirements. But still I personally find online shopping less exciting because I cannot get the look and feel of the product to the fullest. For instance, I am planning to purchase the Nokia 2680 slide model from online vendors.The model is available in four different colors, but still I am not able to decide as to which color looks to its best.Moreover, shopping online doesn't provide a sense of satisfaction. On a serious note, it is said that the online shopping is the major reason for the present inflation in India.But it is a sure time and effort saver.Whatever is said and done, online trading is here to stay.

Hey there! I agree that shopping online is not as much fun as going to the store.The endless fittings and squeezing and forcing urself in smaller outfits and struggling to come out of it without tearing it off is ...FUN :p
