depends on what you want to buy for your kids. say clothes, you can go to gaps, children's place, mexx, gymboree, etc... if you want to buy toys, lot of places you can go, eg, the chapters online has tons of toys and books you can choose from. If you have to send a package to somone, I found online shopping costs you less as oppose to mail the package yourself. if you order something from chapters, shipping cost is under $10, but w/ a package, it's gurantee more than $10.
