Online Shopping VS the store

I love shopping online! I can shop whenever I want to, in my pajamas, and don't have to fight crowds or stand in line.

We ran out of cat food, milk and bread on Thanksgiving!! I could have went to the gas station but I don't shop on major holidays. I don't think anyone should either.

So, we went without and that's how it should be. (I keep tuna fish and a few cans of cat food on hand for "non-emergency"emergencies. No cat went without food and we made do with what we had without breaking out the 72 hour kits.)

Anyhoo, I have done almost all my holiday shopping online. I do have one more thing to buy for Abby. I know the exact price of this item as I have been keeping an eye on it and fit it into the budget.

Last night, I had the rare opportunity to run into the store and I didn't buy it....

Here are my options~
1. Buy it at the store and pay the higher price.
2. Buy it online, save $20, and have it shipped to my home for free.
3. Buy it online, save $20, have it shipped for free to the store. Pick the item up at the store in 3-5 days.

I am so confused.This makes absolutely no sense! I don't understand!!!
