hi it's Lindsay Diane from Diane
0:07
decor.com you may have heard that you
0:09
can
0:10
shophomegoods.com instead of going in
0:13
store and have products shipped directly
0:15
to your house this is a very cool
0:17
feature that a lot of us have been
0:19
waiting a long time for
0:20
but there are some things that are
0:23
priced higher online than they are in
0:25
the store and I want to go through those
0:27
with you so that if you're shopping on a
0:29
budget you know what to buy and what not
0:31
to buy from homegoods.com one of the
0:33
benefits of shopping the Home Goods
0:35
website is of course convenience it's so
0:38
much more convenient to be able to shop
0:40
from your home we all know that you
0:42
don't have to get dressed and get in the
0:43
car and find a parking space and yada
0:46
yada so it's nice to be able to shop
0:48
home goods online it's also nice to be
0:51
able to find multiples of an item easily
0:54
sometimes in store you might find a lamp
0:57
that you really like but you can't find
0:59
a matching pair or you might find a
1:02
decorative pillow that you like but you
1:04
want two or four of them and you can't
1:06
find them they may be out of order on
1:09
the shelves or they just might be gone
1:11
all together you never know but if
1:13
you're shopping on the website you're
1:14
just kind of adding your quantity and
1:16
you're done which is really really nice
1:18
the other thing that's really nice on
1:20
Home Goods dot com is that they have a
1:23
new arrivals section now unless you're a
1:26
frequent Shopper of Home Goods in store
1:29
you won't know what's new and what's not
1:31
new I mean most of us don't go in there
1:33
multiple times a week to see what is new
1:37
on the shelves so it's nice to see and
1:39
get an idea of some of the items that
1:42
are new so that you can look for them in
1:44
store if you want or if you just want to
1:46
shop online you know where to start
1:47
there are a couple of downsides though
1:49
to shopping on the website one of course
1:51
is the clearance
1:53
when you're in store you can find
1:55
amazing red tag clearance sales that
1:58
you're just not going to find on the
2:00
website
2:01
the second thing is the shipping free
2:04
shipping starts at 120 which is pretty
2:07
high especially if you're used to
2:09
shopping on Amazon or Walmart or even
2:13
Target and you're just getting free
2:15
shipping pretty much for anything or at
2:18
the most twenty five dollars so 120 is
2:22
pretty high uh to qualify for free
2:24
shipping so that's a little bit of a
2:27
bummer for the website the other thing
2:29
that's not great about shopping on the
2:32
website is that there are no reviews
2:34
like you would normally see on an
2:37
e-commerce website we rely on reviews
2:39
from other buyers to see how this item
2:42
is going to hold up does it really look
2:44
in person like it does in the picture
2:46
you know we really do rely heavily on
2:48
reviews or star ratings to get that kind
2:51
of information and you just don't have
2:52
that on the website right now okay so
2:54
let's get into what to buy and what not
2:57
to buy from homegoods.com let's start
3:00
off with something that you should skip
3:03
on the website and that is the wall art
3:06
the selection of wall art in the store
3:09
far surpasses anything that they have
3:12
online and moreover they have much
3:15
larger pieces in store with great prices
3:19
I went through my local store recently
3:21
and I was just blown away at some of the
3:24
pieces there's lots of textural items
3:27
that are sort of raised concrete
3:30
sculptural wall art pieces that are
3:33
nowhere to be found on the website the
3:35
other thing you'll want to skip from the
3:37
website are mirrors there are so many
3:40
incredible mirrors in store and the
3:43
prices are so good I saw a huge 24 by 36
3:47
framed mirrors for 49.99 you don't see
3:50
anything like that on the website
3:51
moreover you have to risk it being
3:54
shipped to your house and worry about it
3:57
being broken in transit whereas if
3:58
you're in store you can not only get a
4:00
great deal but you know you'll have safe
4:02
travels getting it home the next item
4:04
that you'll want to skip from
4:06
homesgoods.com are comforters and store
4:10
the prices for comforters duvets quilts
4:14
are so much better than they are on the
4:16
website in store I found a nice Vince
4:20
Camuto down alternative comforter in a
4:24
king size for 49.99 you won't find
4:27
anything anywhere close to that on the
4:30
website in fact the cheapest thing that
4:32
I see on their website right now is
4:34
starting at 49.99 and that's for a twin
4:37
comforter set the king sets are 79.99
4:40
and up so it's a much better deal to go
4:43
in store and you have the benefit of
4:46
being able to kind of touch and feel
4:47
that item when it comes to bedding
4:50
duvets comforters quilts blankets I say
4:54
stick to in-store the last thing that
4:56
you'll want to skip buying from the
4:59
website are rugs Home Goods is known for
5:02
having amazing deals on large area rugs
5:05
but the website is not it
5:08
some of the smaller rugs like the bath
5:11
mats like let's say a three by five size
5:14
sure but not for anything larger than
5:18
that in store you can get the smaller
5:21
area rugs which would be like a five by
5:22
seven for anywhere from 49.99 to 99.99
5:27
the big rugs eight by tens you're
5:31
normally going to see a price around 299
5:34
for those but on the website oh boy I
5:38
saw some rugs over 600 on the website
5:41
looking at the website now I'm seeing
5:43
some really really high prices I see
5:46
five by eight rugs for 4.99
5:49
six by nines for 3.99 the the prices are
5:54
outrageously high on the website I'm
5:56
really not sure why
5:58
um but definitely buy in store if you're
6:02
looking for a deal on a good area rug
6:03
okay now on to the things that you
6:06
should definitely look into buying from
6:07
homegoods.com first up patio sets Home
6:12
Goods is known for having really really
6:14
high quality patio sets and there are so
6:18
many more online to choose from than
6:20
there are in the store I mean at the end
6:22
of the day they only have so much floor
6:23
space to display things at my home goods
6:26
were Peak Patio season right now there
6:29
were maybe five sets six at most on
6:33
display but if you go online you'll have
6:37
tons of them to choose from and the
6:38
prices are really good and it's another
6:41
thing that you don't want to have to
6:42
figure out how to get home on your own
6:44
from the store it's great that you can
6:46
have it shipped directly to your house
6:48
just like the patio set that's any piece
6:51
of furniture that you see there those
6:52
are usually the lounge chairs stools
6:55
Ottomans coffee tables things like that
6:57
definitely go online check out the
7:00
prices the prices are good they're
7:01
comparable to what they are in store and
7:03
you don't have to have the hassle of
7:04
trying to figure out how to get it home
7:06
yourself I mentioned this before about
7:07
the benefits of shopping on the website
7:10
and being able to get multiples but
7:12
lamps are for sure something that I will
7:14
shop online from now on there's no sense
7:18
in going into a store and not being able
7:20
to find a pair or find the right
7:22
lampshade or what have you it's much
7:25
better to shop on the website and be
7:27
able to get exactly what you need and
7:29
the prices are comparable the kitchen
7:31
and dining section of the website is
7:33
actually the most impressive to me out
7:35
of everything there's so much there to
7:38
choose from and it's so much easier and
7:40
neater than having to shuffle through
7:42
all the mess at the home goods stores I
7:45
mean they do a decent job of trying to
7:48
keep up the store but you know once
7:50
people start moving things around and
7:51
they put them back someplace where they
7:53
don't belong and they really try to jam
7:56
stuff those shelves with all of the
7:57
items you can hardly see what's there
7:59
anyway so it's just better to shop
8:02
online you're going to get the same
8:03
prices roundabout decor and decorative
8:06
accents are another great thing to shop
8:07
on the website too they have great
8:10
prices there's always a lot of variety
8:12
there so I say go ahead and Shop
8:14
decorative accents on the website so
8:16
that's what I would buy and not buy from
8:19
homegoods.com you can definitely get
8:21
some amazing deals from the convenience
8:23
of your home by shopping there but just
8:25
look out for that shipping cost and stay
8:28
away from some of the things that you're
8:30
going to get a better selection and
8:32
better price in store so rugs wall art
8:36
mirrors bedding I would do all of that
8:40
stuff in store but if you're shopping
8:42
for other things especially the
8:44
furniture definitely go ahead and do it
8:46
