I tend to browse online and then go and purchase my items instore. I always do my food shop in person to make sure I can pick the freshess produce and meats/fish. I tend to impulse buy online if I see a gift bargain but will mostly collect from a high street store.

I uses to do supermarket shopping online but I've stopped now I'm off on maternity leave as I prefer going to smaller shops like our local butcher and greengrocer if possible. Once I'm back at work it'll be back to online.

I don't tend to buy many clothes online as I'm in between sizes and can't be bothered with having to return things via the post.

I do buy most household and baby things online for convenience and so I can compare prices easily. I also do most of my Christmas shopping online. I like researching purchases online so I can look at people's reviews etc.

Online. No need to fit pushchair into tiny changing room and no horrible lighting that makes me feel terrible about my body.

I buy everything online apart from clothes for me and my family and the odd bread loaf during the week. I find it impossible to go around with a baby and be relaxed while shopping, but I also am careful to use online sites such as Avios and Quidco as much as possible.

Mostly online, and has been ever since DD was born. At 4 weeks she was inconsolable in the supermarket and I had to abandon a half-full trolley and take her home. I started supermarket shopping online then and haven't stopped since. I do top-up shops at our local small supermarket though.

I also like to clothes shop online, although it has its pros and cons. I always end up returning at least 50% of the stuff I order, but then it gives me access to brands I like but can't get to locally. Also I sometimes take weird sizes and it can be frustrating finding something you like in a shop but they don't have it in your size. This is a big problem for me when bra shopping.

I have used Amazon for brithday and Xmas presents for years, and recently I've started buying household stuff from there too. It can be much easier and quicker to find something specific online than to traipse round hardware stores looking for it.

Agree with many on here, shopping online all the way. It is simple, time saving and you can usually grab a bargain. Love it!

Quite a bit of online but, I seeks out free delivery codes/offers or Click & Collect as paying for delivery can get expensive.

Katie, it was good that I was quoted on there, however, I was a little misquoted as I didn't mention paying for returns, just that I couldn't be faffed with them, which made me sound quite dense when Ben Shepherd talked about it being an absolute basic to check and see if returns were free or not. I was a bit miffed.
