What is my cache and how does it effect shopping?

The cache function on your browser makes a temporary copy of all files your browser needs to view our site. Sometimes when you are visiting our site, your browser may be viewing an old page. If you are having trouble with the site it may be that you need to clear your cache and clear your temporary files. By clearing your cache you will not effect the way your computer operates. It only means your computer will get new files from the sites you visit. It may be good to do this every so often. By clearing your cache you avoid having your computer use old files or old information. If your cache is large it may also make your computer run slower instead of faster as this is the purpose of the cache. (Side note: refreshing a page should put a new copy of that page in your cache.)
Here is how to clear my cache:
