The emergence of cyberspace has brought a lot of possibilities and comforts especially for shop alcoholics like me who is always in the pursuit of bargains, sales, and discounts. Online shopping and shoppers are very rampant today due to the convenience and low prices it offers. Online Shopping is a means of buying a specific product and availing of services using the internet. People can save a lot of money since they can search for the lowest deal in the market by just clicking the mouse. Furthermore, it saves time and effort as actual shopping would usually require a lot of legwork by going through different boutiques, shops, and flea markets. People at work and at home, can do their own shopping, without the hassle and trouble of actually competing with other people to get the desired sale products. Aside from that, it's fast, easy, and very practical. In fact, you can discover a lot of low bargain prices in the internet rather than in malls and shops. The features and benefits that online shopping have, entices people to go online and shop.



People using online shopping can pay their bills using a credit card, electronic cash or ecash, debit cards, and cod or cash on delivery basis. Through the internet, a shopper can see various brands of a single product and its features and reviews, which will give the consumers an upper hand and an idea before buying any product on the internet. Some of the common sites to go online shopping are Yahoo, Google, eBay, and Amazon for book addicts.

A lot of people prefer online shopping because some of the rare and hard to find products can be located via online shopping. Although online shopping is truly a blessing for shopping addicts, sometimes, there are unsatisfied consumers for the services and products they availed. Consumers should take note that it's relevant to shop only from credible online sites. The drawback in shopping online is that you can't see the actual product that they're going to deliver you until it arrives on your doorstep. In shopping malls or stores, you can get to choose from other new stocks of the product.

Aside from availing products, one of the unique features and services of online shopping is that it can fulfill your dream vacation escapades. With discount travel sites, you can go to the exotic islands of Caribbean, visit ancient ruins in Greece, or even go with your kids to Disneyland at a low price. Anything is possible with discount travel sites.

Discount travel sites can also inform it's costumers things like affordable hotels to stay in, sites to visit and cheap restaurants. They can make your vacation truly memorable and affordable. An example of sites for discount travel is expedia.com, which offers maximum vacation pleasure at a minimum price. Their summer getaway includes thirty percent off sale and a rate of $93 and above for travel expenses, if they book now for later travel plans. It is beneficial for those who are one hundred percent sure that they will travel.

I always dream of going to Paris and dine in one of their restaurants. When I browsed for discount travel, I found out that Expedia.com offers a lot of features for their Paris shopping travels. Their travel package for Paris trip are the following: a shopping spree in the malls of Paris for eight hours together with a private car, a Loius Vuitton trunk giveaway for your shopping products, four nights stay at the famous Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris, and a dinner for two in the renowned Le Cinq Restaurant.

The Paris travel packaging of expedia.com is so wonderful. If you are a fashion addict, you can visit designer shops like Dior, *Louis Vuitton*, and Chanel. And if you are a culture vulture, you can visit the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum and other historical sites in Paris. And finally, if you just want to experience fine dining, the French way, then eating in their restaurants and coffee shops will be a good idea. The bottom line is this: expedia.com caters to all your needs and wishes just to give you a better service and better travel experience.

When I was a kid, I used to think that there's no way that I could actually travel, let alone go to Paris, France. I'm just a middle class citizen earning her way to the top, but as soon as I discovered online shopping, I know now that traveling is not next to impossible. I could even travel without the expense of getting a loan, and that I could actually go to places far beyond I could have hoped and dreamed of.
