Shopping online vs. a local shopping mall

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

If you are one who likes to shop a local mall is a great place to pick something up quick but if you are looking for the best deals and a specialty item them nothing beats online shopping.  Now with the power of the Internet at your hands finding a specialty item for a gift can be so easy.  I was looking for a gift idea for a golfer the other day and could not really find anything in my local town but went online and found so many shops offering golf gifts.  It really does not matter if you are looking for a pair of sunglasses or a gift basket full of different items you can find it online.

Beware shopping online can be very addictive because it is so easy to find things.  My mother was one who used to wait for the mail to get shopping magazines and what not but now with the internet at her hands it is very bad on the pocket book.  Buying things is so easy just going to google and doing an Internet search for the item you are wanting then in a few days it is delivered to your door.  Shipping is really not a big deal with UPS, FedEx and USPS the package can be delivered in a few days.

Weather so nice now is the time to go golfing

If you are in to golfing now is the time to do it.  Here is Oregon the weather is perfect so get outside and enjoy yourself!  The sun is bright so make sure to take your sunglasses.  Once I forgot them and had to go back home to get them.  I grabbed my polarized sunglasses these seem to work the best.  I have found many online companies that offer golf gifts and have bought some cool looking sunglasses from them.  Today I am sure there will be a few people golfing but I will take it easy and enjoy myself.

After a good game of golf I like to go out to eat with my friend an socialize talking about the good old times we have had.  It is nice to sit back and relax around my friends.  We all have to enjoy life while we can because it goes by so fast.  My wifes idea is to shop till you drop this is not so good on the pocket book.  I try to keep her away from the computer.

Shopping at the local mall

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

With the economy being so bad I was curious how the malls are doing.  I visited our local mall today being Saturday and noticed many people in the mall shopping.  I was talking to a retailer of video games and they said business seemed to be ok for them but other merchants in the mall are not doing so well.  I guess it really depends what you are dealing in.  I think am sure certain business can do ok in a slow economy and others do fair so well.

We here all the bad things on the news about the stock market, the unemployment rate and many other things.  We need to keep our heads up and we will all pull through these hard times!
