Offers we can resist


KOHL'S opens at 06.00 am.
SEARS is planning to open all night.
Set your alarms! Walmart & Co have an "early bird special" - shops open at 04.30 am!

Just a few TV adds that alert us that there's nothing more funny than shopping in the dead of the night.
Does anybody really get up that early to shop for one or two reduced pieces? Are people really that desperate to save a dime or two that they don't mind being at the shopping-mall at ridiculous hours?
We never have been tempted to join those who do. We never belonged to those people patiently waiting in front of a shop until the doors open. We never belonged to the kind of people who storm the bargain bins for pieces which either are hopelessly outdated or simply ugly.
Make no mistake - we like shopping. However, we have found a much more convenient way to do it: Online-shopping.
The advantages are many:
One hasn't to leave the house.
One hasn't put up with nosy shop-assistants.
One hasn't to fight-off other annoying customers.
One can get things long before the hit the store and - last but not least -
One can shop 24/7....
What more can one ask for?

  2. Me neither. Online-shopping beats "normal" shopping any day.
    Jeannie, I hope you are okay?

Through this ever open gate
None come too early
None too late
