Your first sentence is absolutly perfect, and I congratulate you on your use of professional vocab words. But "Commodities" isn't something I hear too much in casual conversation, "items" is usually more commonly heard in a sentence like this, but the choice is up to you. Here's my recommendation, maybe try to use the word "commodities" in a sentence like this, who knows, maybe english speakers will be impressed with your progress.

As for your second sentence, there are a few things we can take care of. First, remove the comma after the word "so". Next, there are a few ways we can change the end of your sentence to make it sound more natural.

Here are a few examples:
1: "I prefer shopping at stores instead of shopping online."
2: I prefer to shop at stores over shopping online."
3: I prefer shopping at stores instead".

These are just a few examples. Hopefully they help.
