2. I can shop on MY schedule.

If can't sleep, I can still get things done...I can shop. It may be 4am and I might be in pajamas. Heck, I may even be feeding a crying baby a bottle with one hand, as I type with the other. But I do love that I can shop on my time, which is anytime that works.

3. Promotional coupon codes.

Before I buy anything on the internet I do a search for the title of the store and the words "promo code" or "promotional coupon code" etc. Then I find the right word and plug it in as I shop and get a discount. It is one more step to my shopping process but so worth it. I do not shop without doing this little, quick search before I purchase. No cutting coupons and I still save money. I have found that almost every store has a coupon code or promotional going on at any given time.

4. The search feature.

Did you ever have an idea of what to buy someone as a gift, but then not really know exactly where to find it, or what it even is exactly? So then you aimlessly roam around the mall, to not find what you are looking for but leave with aching legs and frustration. Well, this is why I love the search feature. I can search for a favorite sport team, a scent, even just a color... and bam! Hundreds of "custom" gift ideas pop onto my screen that are perfect for any person on my gift list.

So instead of fighting crowds... try shopping online! Happy Shopping!
