Shopping is not just amazon and Walmart. Before the internet or Walmart existed, the economy was made up of lots of small businesses and stores that provided goods and services in every community in the world. This is the heart of world capitalism.

Climate change activists say buy local. It's not just about that for me. It's convenience and it's my community where I live.

I saw an American Greed TV show episode. The crook was so lazy that he ordered disposable diapers online rather than going to a local store to buy them.

Several pet food websites failed because it's not practical to ship pet food a long way.

I buy a few things online, not many because I like to go to a store, pick what I want and take it home right there on the spot. If I have a problem, I go back to the physical store.

I use our Canadian equivalent of craigslist which is kijiji.ca. I bought big microwave oven for $50. I bought at least five laptops for $300 each.
