As we all know shopping online has always been cheaper than popping out to the local shops. But now a survey by comparison site uSwitch suggests that the UK's average broadband price is now so cheap that it's worth doing all of our shopping online rather than braving it out in the real world.

They recon that an average shopper can save £42 per month shopping online, with an average price of a broadband connection around the £15 mark customers can save around £27 a month...and that doesn't include reduced travel and transport costs.

Now while that might sound like a good deal for most of us blokes, the thought of not having to visit Tesco's again does sound appealing, we're not so sure 'online shoe shopping' with catch on with the fairer sex.
