Glam but first coffee
Today we are going to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner, and especially this year, online shopping will be trendy. I can already notice the gift guide boards and outfits I post on the Liketoknowit app that it is very modern in 2020.

In this article, you are going to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. The accent will be on benefits rather than cons. I will teach you a few tricks and pages you need to know about to get the best sales and prices. Now let’s start with the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping.
ADVANTAGES of Online shopping
Avoid crowds and people
The most known advantage of online shopping is avoiding the crowd. I do not like people and big groups or lines for clothes and then another line for the cash register. You can only try on 3-5 pieces and if you want to go to a try-on a second time to try on other clothes, again need to wait in line, and it is crazy!
Convenient
Can shop at any time, moment, weather, whatever you want, however, you want in your pyjamas. Either it is raining, or you remember you need to shop for gifts as soon as possible, you can shop at night. Sit in your pyjamas, open up a laptop and your favourite pages and shop for whatever you need whenever.
Safe from illnesses and bacteria
I am not saying this only because I am writing the article in 2020. Autumn is the time for flu and other viruses; therefore, it is nice to know you can shop from home.
Another great reason is not to wear masks. I have almost passed out twice because of air insufficiency due to masks.
Time is money
It gives time to think about products and prices. Time and re-thinking are significant for me to save money and not buy something I do not need or would not wear. I buy less useless products and clothing online than I do in real life.
No carrying bags and purchases
Everything gets delivered to your doorstep. You do not need to walk around from one store to another with bags in your hands, especially if you need to shop for many or heavy products, like a Christmas tree or electrics.
Offers, cheaper rates, and promo codes
Online shopping is great for a better price, saving up and finding promo codes or offers. I always share discount codes that brands give to me on my Instagram. Unfortunately, these codes are only valid for a few weeks in most cases. Therefore, if I include a file with discount codes, shop as soon as possible to save up.

What is the Honey?
Another way to save up is to download the HONEY extension on your browser. Have you noticed prominent Youtubers working with Honey? That is how I found out about Honey. However, I am not such a big deal to have collaborated with them. I always suggest Honey because it is easy, fast and I have saved up a lot of money on my shopping.
How does Honey work? Download honey on your browser here, and whenever you are on shopping pages, it will pop up giving you the best offers.
Best secret APP
Do you like brands and high-quality clothing, shoes, and not only? Then I suggest you download the Best Secret app. I was shocked to see how reasonable the prices are, often discounts and offers to sell out, and many new products added each week. I am not talking of usual brands like Guess and Kate Spade, but even brands like Dior and Gucci!
The app is exclusively on invites only. I have a few invites left; hurry and use them now! Sign up on the Best secret app HERE.
The Liketoknow.it APP
I have mentioned and promoted LIKETOKNOW IT before. However, I want to repeat it because it is the best app for you to find the best finds, sales, dupes, interior products, fashion from any retailer you want.
Liketoknowit are content creators researching different retailers and brands, creating outfits, fashion boards, interior boards for you to shop. Creators spend hours finding unique products for you only to spend minutes to shop!
Around the holiday season, I am posting each day 4-8 times! I have paid attention to gift guides lately and winter cozy outfits. Therefore, follow my profile to not miss out on new gift guides and fashion ideas. However, pay attention that products sell out quickly! When I find the product and post on my profile, it can sell out in a day or a few. Therefore, follow and think fast. This year online shopping is crazily trendy!
If you do not know how LIKETOKNOW works and upload it, Check on my Instagram page the LIKETOKNOWIT highlight. I always add more information about how to use It. I will also do a Youtube video on my Youtube channel this week!
In this video, I explain a little bit more about how to use the app and about sales.
Variety of prices and products
Can search around for the best product, quality, and price. You have more possibility to choose retailers and the best price on the Internet. When I shop for beauty products, I always research different retailers to find the best price.
The next blog article will be about the best apps and pages to shop for different products. Therefore, follow my blog to not miss out on following hacks and online shopping tips and saving your money.
Easy to shop from a variety of brands and shops
Do not need to walk around ten stores to find something you need. You can either choose one retailer, like Nordstrom, that has a lot of brands underneath. Or you can buy from different brand pages, but it is more comfortable and convenient.
Secret buying
More comfortable buying products without your family or friends to know about your shopping. Either you shop for gifts or some more private things you do not want anyone to see. If you are a secret buyer that does not like people to know where you shop and what you shop, then this is for you!
Gift shopping
More comfortable to order and send gifts for loved ones. Some even wrap the gifts and offer greeting cards for free. If your partner is always next to you, then again, you can secretly shop for him without him seeing and knowing.
DISADVANTAGES of Online shopping
Shipping costs
Many retailers or brands have shipping costs. Sometimes they can be very high. However, usually, you need to pay for shipping if you shop for a small amount. When shopping, we typically spend money on buses, gas, or parking, so even with shipping costs, it can still be cheaper.
Cannot try on clothes or do swatches
When shopping online, you cannot try on clothes or do makeup swatches to be sure they fit you! Not being able to try on clothing is the most significant disadvantage of shopping online for me. I have an exciting body type, and pants are always too long, sleeves too long, the bust can be too small, etc.
