How much will you spend on Christmas shopping and what percentage of that will you spend shopping online?
Roy Blanchard, 48, Naples
“I’ll probably end up spending about $400, and very little online. The only thing I bought online was 21 crossword puzzle books for a total of $2.50. They’re from 1970s and ’80s.”
Charlotte Kelly, 36, Casco
“I’m budgetting $500 and I do most of that online. Overstock.com, Amazon.com. Those are the two I mostly use.”
Mary Watson, 58, Standish
“Online is absolutely $0. I don’t feel comfortable putting my credit card number on the Internet. Honestly, I have no idea how much I’m going to spend.”
Bill Hogan, 68, Limington
“I spend about $300. I do a lot of online shopping, I’d say 50-50. You name it, I’ll buy it. If I want a bushel of apples, I’ll find it online. If I want a flashlight, I’ll punch in ‘flashlight’ and, bam, I’ll buy it.”
Margie Sayward, 41, Windham
“Probably I’ll spend $600 and 50 percent of that will be online. I like to avoid the crowds and save on gas. I have a big truck. I shop a lot of Amazon.com, buying books, DVDs. It’s either gas or shipping. And it’s less stressful online.”
Ed Spatola, 65, Windham
“Probably $300 or $400. I don’t spend any online because I don’t want to give my credit card out. In this unfortunate world we live in now, you can’t trust like you used to.”
