If you go to a shop, they have to pay for spotty teenagers to loaf 
around all day pretending to serve customers. People to sweep the 
floors. Rent on the building. Electricity rates. And so on.

If you run an Internet shop, you just put a server onto the Internet and 
wait for your bank balance to start increasing. Sure, you gotta pay for 
electricity and Internet bandwidth. I'm guessing even at £25,000/year, 
Internet bandwidth is a lot cheaper than having 25 staff standing around...

...yeah, shopping online tends to be cheaper. Quality is another matter, 
of course.
