It's easier, if you like a certain item, to Froogle it and give your business to the site with the best deal. Or the cheapest/most reliable shipping.

There's a lot to be said for knowing what you want and knowing a place, say TE for instance, will get it to you very quickly.

Plus it's fun to watch the sales here and other places- almost always, something I really want goes on sale when it goes out of season. That way, I can get two things I really want, rather than one.

But- if I need something right away- shorts, rain jacket, whatever- I like to give TE my business because they have excellent customer service, super fast shipping, and they deserve support for hosting this forum.
