One of the most interesting things to come from the Internet era has been the ability to shop online. It just seems to make the chore so much easier. Why is that? What makes it easier for you to shop online?

All of these items can be shopped for while sitting on your couch and using your laptop or tablet. You don’t have to leave your house and don’t have to change out of your pajamas. It’s really easy to pay as well. Most of the sites are secure to where you won’t have to worry about your private information being intercepted, and you can pay with credit card, Paypal, or newer online payment options such as Apple Pay that allow you to pay with your device.

Why do you find it easier? Is it because of the payment options or because you can get good deals that aren’t available in the physical stores? Is it easier for you to shop on an app that’s dedicated to the store that you like to frequent the most? Or do you just not want to leave the house and want to do it from the comfort of your couch?
