Well, I don't. I hate crowds. In fact, the only place I will shop today is the grocery store. I'm out of fresh fruit, lettuce, and milk.
In fact, I probably won't be in any store until after New Years Day. So thank you Amazon! No crowds THERE!
I placed an order there Wednesday (why wait?). My sponge mop sponge fell apart and wasn't available locally, so I needed a new replacement sponge. I ordered 2. I doubt they will be available in a few years.
I ordered a pack of tank top undershirts. If that seems odd, its because I twist and turn a lot in bed and rip the seams of regular V-Neck ones. Walmart never has the tank tops in my size.
I ordered a cheap plastic watering can. The reviews suggested that most more expensive models all had the same problems, but the cheaper one sometimes had pinhole leaks. I can fix that easily. So if I have to repair a pinhole leak in most, cheap is OK.
Mom sent me 2 microwave-safe plates decades ago. I ruined one recently by trying to cook bacon on it. The plate was M/W safe, but not "hot-oil" safe.
Finally, I was watching an episode of 'Good Eats" with my favorite cook, Alton Brown. He was using a mandolin. Now, I ENJOY prepared veggies and using knives. And I have some really good knives (Wusthof Classic - Got it 30% when a store went out of business). But as I get older, my hands are wobblier.
So the idea of a mandolin was interesting. Consumer Report said Zyliss had the best of basic models. Safe, accurate, easy to use, and dishwasher safe. So I ordered one as a gift to myself (who knows what you really want better than you do yourself, right?).
I have a Vegamatic in an closet. It works but takes forever to clean. I'll be glad to throw it away...
You ever buy As Seen On TV stuff? Sometimes I do. The Ginsu knives were good. I actually tossed a ripe tomato at one of the knives and it did fall into 2 halves! So was a stackable food container system (and wish I had more of them).
So shopping is going to be entirely online for 6 weeks... Except food.

I like to plant Pansies in the Fall. I replace the dead Tomatos and deck pot flowers with them most years. Best deal I found was 12-packs ...
