I do, but I would rather go to a store! My partner does both, but nevertheless we seem to get an awful lot of Amazon deliveries.

I buy a weeks groceries locally, but most else I just click on to Amazon Prime unless it is computer stuff etc. Thanks for writing  I know the toughies.

Many peole have benefitted from online shopping. It's amazing just how quickly it came aboiut. I remember when Amazon was just an online bookstore. Bezos has quite a vision.

I now do about 90% of my shopping at Amazon.  Not groceries, I''m 4 miles from a Krogers.  

You can almost find anything on amazon. I ran out of 3 of my vitamin supplements yesterday,  Went to Amazon and they were in my mailbox this morning.  I'm lucky that one of their largest fulfillment locations is across the Ohio River from Louisville.

They're testing aerial deliveries by drones,  you lay a plastic circle with "Prime" on it in your year and a Drone will come down and put your package on the circle. 

Our world is zooming ahead!

I do buy clothing sometimes--often, though, the sizing is not as expected or advertised, and sending stuff back is a nuisance. I got shoes yesterday that are way bigger than advertised... I now need to find someone who wears ~women's size 9 or 10 who wants these. 

I would buy canned and packaged foods online maybe, if I needed to, but I absolutely will pick my own vegies and meats, thank you very much!

No, I don't shop online at all. The only exception to that is if I have a gift card to use there, which is almost never. I think it would be fun to do though.

I don't buy anything online - worried about my credit card getting hacked.

Plus which, as you and Taps both say, I prefer to pick out my fruit and produce at the store or farmer's market, where I can look it over first.  Clothes I look for on sale at local stores, don't like to replace things that are comfortable (worn & faded) as it seems wasteful. But once in a while a nice print top catches my eye.

I like to do my own grocery shopping because I am very particular when it comes to fruits & veggies, or brands of other things.  When I don't feel like going, I send P.D. a list of things to get when he does his own shopping.  Recently I had him buy a new bedside lamp for Ribcage, and a new T.V. for him, and he picks up my medicines.  I do need to think about shopping for some new clothes.  Everything I have seems to be wearing out at the same time.  But worn-out things are so comfy.  LOL
