Internet shopping is the answer.
I go to the city centre about 3 times a year to go shopping and the rest I do on-line.

I've just bought an Earl Jeans denim jacket
online at closeout.com (I think it's called) for half the price - if you can even get them here anymore as Earl Jeans packed up a while ago...shame as their stuff is/was excellent.

I love shopping online.

And I've turned into my mother by telling you far too many unnecessary details that are just dull.

I've bought a nice jacket online, it was cheaper than the shops.

i have tried internet shopping for groceries
but i hated that - i LOVE food shopping i can wander round a good supermarket for a good hour or more easily. i like to cook so i guess its part of that pleasure.

dont know if i could be arsed if clothes turned up from teh web and they were unsuitable. no patience for that.

me too
i always like checking out supermarkets when i'm abroad as well.
The gentle fascination of seeing what they that's different from here is always a pleasure.

I always think that Lidl and Aldi are a bit like shopping abroad, and that's no bad thing

'Lidl and Aldi'
sorry i did say it was food i wanted to buy – not dubious diving gear, death trap toasters or bizarre items of aryan charcuterie

having said that there is some element of 'secret santa' involved in buying food items where the serving suggestion looks like it was prepared by damian hirst and the cooking instructions are in Serbo-Croat
