Shopping soared to amazing heights once online stores opened and virtual shopping can be done anytime and anywhere. Advertisements played a big role to challenge women’s control on spending. If not for anything else, impulsive buys due to sales multiplied many times over because anybody can order from anywhere. These days, stores accept check by phone as well, for people who do not trust the security of stores with their credit cards and would rather prefer to pay in cash.

I, for one, am an advocate of online shopping. As I hate crowds and walking.

Amen
