I buy a lot at Christmas time on-line - probably 30-40% of my shopping. I don't do much the rest of the year, unless it's something really specific that I could find only at one place or E-Bay.
When I need something, I check out garage sales and thrift stores, then E-bay, and only if I still cannot find it will I purchase new, sometimes on-line but mostly in a local store.
