My friend wants to buy some English dictionaries from a book store but they are more expensive at that book store there than online. I want to convince my friend to go online and buy them.
Is it okay to say the following to my friend?

1. You can buy these dictionaries cheaper online.
2. You can buy these dictionaries cheaper on the internet.

Note my changes above. There was no need to repeat "book store". If you use "more expensive", you need to explain what you're comparing it with. Remember to end questions with a question mark.

Can I say
1 The book stores sell these dictionaries cheaper online.
2 The book stores sell these dictionaries cheaper on the internet.

What is the difference between ‘online’ and ‘on the internet’?

 

[Skrej]

There isn't any practical difference as they're synonymous in this context.

Another commonly used variation you might hear in this case is 'on the web'.

Also, in my corrections, I added a full stop after the numbers. Why didn't you copy what I did?
