@DY I agree with the author that one can overspend more online and that people confuse value with savings and make impulse buys. However that is not the author’s point. the author is saying that the people who say they have the internet because they save money are wrong. I disagree with that – there are plenty of people who do in fact save money online. “some claim they save $30-$40
per month shopping online rather than going to
the mall. That claim is debatable.” Nothing the author said disproved what “some claim”.
