I try my best to support local business but do buy online when there is a major price difference and the local is not interested in at least negotiating a bit. My kids prefer to buy everything online but the one thing I tell themis that it is cheap and shipping id free for now. Once there is not local competition (ie the brick and mortars are out of business) the free shipping and cheaper prices will go away. You saw it will cell phones. Use to be a time you got a phone for free and the monthly bill was very cheap. Once the majority of people dumped their landlines service price went up and phones are now $600 +
The first taste is always free
