I am too conventional. I use Amazon a lot. It helps that they have a great return policy.

[theresnodoor]

Like sdelmonte, I use Amazon for most of the things I need. But there is one particular staple that cannot be denied:

Adagio Teas. Even if you have a local tea shop you like better for the leaves, I'm in total lust for all their hardware. There is very little I would not do to get one of their local stores in my state.

I'm a sucker for BPAL, aka Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab myself.

[shinyhappygoth]

Never bought anything from them, but I love to read the descriptions.

Thinkgeek
Amazon
King Arthur Flour
Penzeys Spices

[shinyhappygoth]

Ooh, Penzeys. I don't actually end up buying a lot from them, but if there are any other plans for the day, I should not be allowed in their store.

KING ARTHUR FLOUR CATALOG IS MY PERSONAL PARADISE <3

[kd7sov]

Amazon and Steam. The one considerably more than the other, but I've used both multiple times. Also I occasionally send a donation to Studio Foglio.

[ladyiapetus]

Common ones are eBay,Barnes and Noble and Christianbook.com, along with Paperbackswap, SwapaCD and SwapaDVD (being able to print postage straight on the label/wrapper is a godsend).

...I've dropped hundreds into Asian Food Grocer (http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com).

BPAL is another story though I've managed to manage my own addiction lately and stick to the imps.

www.threadless.com

www.teefury.com

Amazon, sometimes, though I go there more to wishlist. Etsy, once in a blue moon, but usually I'm overwhelmed by choice there.

www.thinkgeek.com, mostly for presents. (Edit: Ohhh yes, and Adagio Teas, when I'm up for a tea splurge. There are local tea shops I love also, one of which carries my all-time favorite tea ever, but Adagio has a ton of choice.)

Usually I'm looking for something specific, and I'll often just go directly to the retailer's site for it. I do more of my shopping in person, where I can handle things as I browse, but obviously that's not always possible.

[shinyhappygoth]

ThinkGeek, and the Amazon digital media sections (Kindle, Instant Video, mp3s).

[shinyhappygoth]

Oh, also Steam and comiXology.

Extra dangerous because you can often read the beginning of the book and then, once you are hooked, it links back to the order page.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

Another for Amazon (kindle and paper store), but also Googlebooks (yes you can actually buy books there) and Overstock (http://www.overstock.com/) has nearly everything and for cheap.

[gorgonfondness]

Coffee Fool sells the only coffee I'll willingly drink nowadays. So damn good. ;A;

For the sake of Dad's tackle box, I've dropped a bit of money on gift certificates at Gary Yamamoto's Custom Baits. They're his favorites and make great gifts for his birthday or Father's Day. Not to mention it means we're going fishing and probably drinking beer. XD

Otherwise I just search online, usually Amazon or ThinkGeek. I haven't found a culinary supply store to call home yet but I found where the school orders their blood orange puree, so I might try them to see if I like the service.

[aberrantangels]

In alphabetical order: Amazon, B&N, CDUniverse, DriveThruRPG, e23.

[ceitfianna]

LJ eats so much of my money, Amazon gets a good amount of it, Lush and I think that's it. I oddly don't spend that much of my money online but I've had some gift money recently that I do spend online.

At the moment, I tend to buy lots of books at Borders since they give me coupons and the used bookstores in town.

[kali921.livejournal.com]

Design By Humans, Threadless, Amazon, Powell's Books, Penzey's Spices, Lucky Scent, and various other sites. I prefer to shop in person, but I do spend way too much money on the sites listed above.

[hey35andholding]

Pft, wayyy too many.

Fright Rags, Stash Tea, Lush, The Adult Swim Shop, Torrid, Snorg Tees, Threadless. Wayyy too many to name!

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Amazon for books and DVDs, BPAL like chanter_greenie, eBay (for BPAL bottles. It's a problem), Republic of Tea (http://www.republicoftea.com).

[lady_bols]

I would really like to spend a lot of money at Last Exit To Nowhere.

[weaverandom.livejournal.com]

How has nobody in this bookish crew mentioned www.bookdepository.co.uk yet? FREE SHIPPING. And books for like $6! YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW OF ITS WONDERS.

Otherwise, I tend to spend my money offline, at local tea shops. I ogle thinkgeek every so often but haven't ever bought anything. Ebay! For hard-to-find vintage pen nibs and inks. :D
