I do comparative shopping online,
but I generally make my actual purchases at the store.

Oops. Excuse my insertion of "generally" when it is not in the source text. Oversight on my part.

| Your version with "comparative shopping" was great too. It was a good idea for a keyword for search engines. I have put it into my personal glossary.Thank you, Judith! |

Thanks, Alexandra. Yes, that's what I put first, but I wasn't sure it conveyed the idea of checking prices.
