Killer Questions – Shopping Online?
We’re about to enter the crazy Halloween through Christmas shopping season. Considering the gifts and gadgets we all buy, we wondered if we shopped more online or in person and what was the last thing each of us ordered online?
Annette Dashofy - Mostly I shop online these days although I often do in-store pickups. As for the last thing I ordered—food from Hungryroot.
Kait Carson - I shop locally when I can, but to be honest, there isn’t much up here and the weather is often uncooperative so I end up doing more online than I would like.
Lori Roberts Herbst - I much prefer online shopping, except for clothing. I don’t trust that anything I buy online will fit properly.
Margaret S. Hamilton - Other than the hardware and grocery stores, I prefer to shop online. About every six weeks I order coffee beans from French Truck Coffee in New Orleans.
Korina Moss - I prefer to shop in stores because I like to see what I’m buying before I get it. The last thing I ordered online was new checks. Isn’t that ironic?
Sarah Burr - I must admit, I’m quite the frequent online shopper—perhaps even a bit of an addict! Just recently, I decided to shake things up for 2025 and ordered some pink hair dye. I can't wait to see the new look!
Nancy Eady - I like to look on-line, but pick up stuff in the stores. According to Amazon, the last thing I ordered on-line was a replacement wedding ring for my husband since he couldn't find it, although fortunately we discovered that it had fallen off his hand at my mother's when we went there December 28.
Mary Dutta - I love our local ethnic supermarkets and fair-trade store, but online shopping has become pretty unavoidable. My last online purchase was a powerful magnifying glass with LED lights.
Shari Randall - I try to shop in stores as much as possible - I cannot resist book shops and stationery stores (remember those?) But, yes, I do buy online and the last thing I ordered was a gift for my son in law I couldn't find close to home: a calendar featuring the Philadelphia Flyers' mascot, Gritty. Google Gritty and laugh.
Grace Topping - Since retiring, I have become somewhat of a hermit and rarely venture into stores. As a result, I have resorted to shopping online. You can't beat the convenience of realizing late at night that you need something and be able to pull out your phone, place the order, and have it the next day. The last thing I ordered was a babydoll carriage for my granddaughter in Italy.
Heather Weidner - Online. Last night, I ordered a set of pearl ornaments for one of my Christmas trees. I have ornaments that represent all of my series. (The Pearly Girls Mysteries launched in March.)
Martha Reed - I like shopping in-person but ordering off Amazon is so easy I tend to do it to just ‘get it done.’ The last thing I ordered was a flocked and lighted outdoor Christmas tree. I’m a sap once I get hit by the holiday spirit.
K.M. Rockwood - Combination of the two. I am awaiting a delivery of two 10-yard bolts of muslin from Amazon.
Connie Berry - I feel terrible saying it because I love small businesses, but I'm doing more and more shopping online. It just so easy.
James M. Jackson - I'd prefer to shop locally, but for half the year there is no locally, which means online is super attractive. The most recent thing I bought (this was written in December 2024) is a field guide for New Zealand birds for a planned 2025 nature trip.
Paula G. Benson - I’ve become an online shopper. My last purchase was a holiday pin entitled “fervent love.” It featured bells and holly.
Debra H. Goldstein – Online – books!!!
