Shopping the e(asy)-way

Shopping is an amazing experience in its self. Back in college when I had loads of time for myself we used to spend most of our Sundays shopping – it can just uplift your mood 🙂 though can dig a hole in your pocket – but who cared. Those were the carefree days even with limited budget we used to almost raid shops. But now that I have more means to indulge I don’t have the easiest thing – TIME. But then we have online shopping now – the easier & convenient way of shopping. Who ever invented it – I thank thee.

Few years back online shopping meant to me sending flowers or cakes to my family & friends or buying flight tickets. Unless it’s a trusted website it was very difficult to muster up the courage to give your credit card details or use net banking. But now I see a big change in functioning of these e-commerce sites. The concept of ‘Cash on delivery’ makes life easier for first time buyers. I use sites like SnapDeal, FlipKart, Ebay, extensively for gadgets, which are generally expensive but when they give you option of ‘Cash on Delivery’ you don’t have the tension of someone duping you. Moreover, you always have amazing offers & discounts going on on almost all the shopping websites – thats an extra cookie for me. I have used Snap Deal for books so far and I plan to explore more from their varied categories.

Infact, I am spoilt for choices now with so many websites with so many different concepts. Clothes accessories, cosmetics I think you get almost everything online these days. Sites like Myntra & Jabong have become very useful for people like me who slog through the week and become sloths over the weekend.

But when it comes to shopping for my self – especially shoes (I am mad for them) and apparels I still like to go the traditional way. That gives me a joy – the same old retail therapy. Sometimes indulgence for yourself works like a detox – at least for me it does.

I really wish there’s some kind of site developed completely dedicated to cooking & baking – with all sorts of ingredients but more with a wide variety of utensils (read bakeware). It’s so difficult to get the right bakeware here in Bangalore. I am still searching for my ramekins & microwave safe foil – most of the lifestyle stores doesn’t even know what a ramekin is – that’s disgusting. Guys I am giving you idea here. I would love a complete gourmet website. Would be a heaven for all armature chefs like me J

For me its now the easy way of shopping more than the ‘e’ way.
