Why Online Shopping is the Way to Go

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

So, everyone knows how great online shopping is. I mean you get to do all the shopping you want, all in the comfort of your own home. I can’t imagine living without it, and here a few reasons why. 

 

1. You don’t have to leave your house.

My absolute favorite thing about online shopping is not having to leave my house. Do you know how exhausting it is to get dressed just to go shopping? I prefer to just shop online while still wearing my pajamas. Shopping online also spares you from socializing with people. Coming from a small town, I feel that it is just absolutely impossible to go anywhere without bumping into at least five people from high school, so shopping online is also a great way to avoid those awkward encounters.

 

2. You can sort merchandise by price.

If you don’t shop like this, you aren’t doing it right. Finding good deals in-store isn’t as easy since it involves physically going through each item and comparing prices. But shopping online makes finding good deals quick and easy with the option to sort prices from low to high. This option has probably saved us all so much money, which is great since most of us are broke college students.

 

3. Amazon Prime

Amazon is an industry leader in online shopping, and I feel that it deserves its own recognition. With free 2-day shipping on most items, why even bother to step into an actual store ever again? My parents even went as far as buying a set of couches on Amazon. You could buy absolutely anything you’d ever need on Amazon and it is quite literally my favorite thing ever.

 

Well, there you have it. Here is why I love shopping online and why I encourage everyone else to shop online, too. If you don’t already shop online for everything you ever need, I hope this persuades you to start. Happy shopping!
