I guess! I am not late to participate in the contest running inside the community POST LINK

Like always, let me invite three friends before I proceed;
and for that, I love to invite @aviral123, @fantvwiki, and @luimer79
To share their preference!

_{Which shopping style do you prefer, online or offline? Reasons.}

Hmmm! I would favour offline shopping over online shopping.
Hey! Don't give me a backdated tag! I have valid reasons behind it.
Many are aware that now I am a full-time blogger, and for that reason, most of my work I conclude sitting on my bed;
Offline shopping not only allows me to go outside but also allows me to enjoy some time outside the home.

Shhh! I also enjoy bargaining while shopping, and when I get the offer, buy one, and get one free;
Sometimes, buy two items and get one free!

I am more eager to purchase.
But, of course, I do not choose food items;
Instead of some branded bags or shoes, etc.

_{Share both the Pros and cons of both shopping styles!}

OFFLINE SHOPPING:-

*Pros*	*Cons*
1.Small outing with or without family	1.It's challenging alone to drag things if we don't have a personal vehicle and have to carry many items from long distances.
2.Easy to coordinate	2.A few brands often couldn't be found offline.
3.No conditions about quantity	3.Lack of variety
4.Worthy in terms of saving money	4.Time consuming

There are many, but the above points are fundamental to my perspective!

_{Do you have any bitter experiences with online or offline purchases? Share.}

Indeed! In both cases, I have had some bitter experiences, unfortunately!

It's about one year since I went to shop for blouses with sampa to attend the wedding ceremony to wear the saree I bought from Varanasi.

The shop has a particular time and day to change items;
and they sell things at fixed prices!

However, after shopping, when I tried the same
I found there was a fitting problem!

The next day, I went alone to the shop, and when I replaced and purchased another one.

They were not ready to back me the remaining balance as both items had price differences!
As per them, I had to purchase something to adjust the balance!

The shop owner was not ready to return cash!
I asked the shop owner to show me where it had been written
However, in the end, he was bound to return the cash as nowhere the clause was written.

The other incident happened with online shopping! They had no return policy, which I didn't detect because that was my first online order from that app later when I read the clauses!

At that time, I discovered they don't have any return policy! Which is weird for me.
The crucial part is everything has the pros and cons;
We need to act nattily before purchasing anything!
