Online shopping

I love online shopping! I don't know how well spread it is in Sweden, or how convenient it is - but here - I actually do almost all my shopping online. Oh, I don't mind spending a day at the mall, but for specific items - I do them online. The items arrive right at your door, with any of the major couriers (UPS, FedEx etc) or regular mail (in the extra large mailbox by the mail boxes down the street where all our mail arrives).

I subscribe to tons of e-mail newsletters from my favorite stores, keeping track of sales and specials. The sales here are great - you can get items for a fraction of the original price (and as I try to convince the Husband - you actually save money by finding things on sales! I don't know why he isn't convinced).

And you can find everything you need online. My favorite pair of capri jeans I've been wearing all summer are falling apart. I don't have the energy to go and try to find a replacement pair - not at the end of season when the stores are filling up with fall clothes (yes, there is an end of season here - despite the detail that it will be summer temperatures for a couple of more months). And they fit me great and I love them.

Hepp - I just googled "Levis 515 capri jeans" and found them online, in the right size and the right color. On sale - 50% off, free shipping. By the end of the week my old ones can go to pants heaven and I can hopefully use my new ones.
