Default Where do you buy your stuff?

I am sure this has been asked before, but I am curious to where most people buy from.

It seems that the LHS has a tremendos amount of stuff on hand, but sometimes there price seems to be out of the ball park. I tend value there service/knowledge and for that I am willing to pay more, but sometimes it just seems to much of a difference in price compared to mail order. I want to support the LHS, but it is hard to not order online when you can save several hundred dollars on a complete set up. I have only been back in this hobby for a short period of time and I am already heading in to my third complete plane (everything is still in one piece). So far I have purchased all my small items at the LHS.

It seems that alot of people at the local flying field purchase there stuff online, and only a few say go down the street and buy local. Just looking for everyones opinion on the subject as I do not want to become the LHS sucker as my money tree never really took root in the back yard.
