I do the opposite. I don't want to spend the time driving around looking at stuff, so I research online, and then find where it's sold locally. 'cause I want it the instant I pay for it, and returns are much easier and immediate at a store.
I do buy from Amazon, but Amazon is also one of the best research tools for local buying.
