Do you prefer shopping online or going to an actual shop? What does each one give you that the other doesn't?

A natural way to answer

I think it depends on what I am buying. For everyday things, online is faster and often cheaper. But for clothes or food, I prefer the shop, because I can see and touch the item before I decide.

Key phrases to use

• add to cart — to put an item in your online basket ready to buy“I added three books to my cart but only bought one.”
• fit the bill — to be exactly what is needed or wanted“This little flat fits the bill perfectly.”
• traipsing around — walking around tiredly or unwillingly, often for a long time“I spent all day traipsing around town looking for a gift.”
• stumbling upon — finding something by chance, without looking for it“I stumbled upon a great little bakery yesterday.”
