in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
Everyone buys home improvement items such as sofas, lamps, radiators........
Where are you usually buying?
Is it online shopping or going to a physical store?
Can you share a few affordable shopping sites?
You can tell a lot about somebody,looking him in the eyes.

    All reasonable people shop around and buy where the price is lower, also taking time and security into consideration.

    If needed and possible, they go to a physical store to see and feel the real items in the first place.
    The most reasonable people don't rush, wait for deals and don't disregard such sites as freecycle.org

    If you want to buy a household item, would you buy it on the Google Shopping Channel?

    I have no idea what's "Google Shopping Channel".
    If I see it when shopping around, I possibly will if price is good and if it takes credit card payments.

    No. Google, Facebook, and the rest of the "social media" outfits already collect way too much information about an individual. The spending habits of everyone is more than they need to know.


    I see you are posting the same (or similar) question elsewhere. Be careful, someone might call you out for being a plant or shill.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
