Another one:
* I think I might have found my "having the cake and eating it"
- I want to support my local bookshops (Waterstone's... nothing independent, but still, bricks and mortar shop), but I don't really like paying the full price (who does?). They hardly ever have the books I want on the 'buy 1 get 1 half price', so I'm tempted to buy online.
However yesterday I discovered 'reserve & collect' - you go online, reserve, then go collect the books from the actual shop, paying the cheaper online price but the sale counts as the bookshop sale (I know, I asked).
Of course, this only works if the shop you want has the book you want in stock, but I've got lots of options around me, if not exactly in my home town, then a few around.
