I. HEART. AMAZON. I have never been much for Amazon until I started working so much and needing to do some online shopping to save time. Since it's almost an hour drive to get to Whole Foods I also didn't want to run there every time I ran out of flour or some other pantry item. I found that most of the items I'm currently buying in the store are available on Amazon for cheaper, or at least the same price. If you set up a subscription for any item you usually save an addition 15% plus get free shipping. Score!
No more running to the store because I was waiting for Target to run a sale on diapers, and I ended up forgetting to buy them and ran out of them completely...instead they are delivered right to my door each month for the same price as Target's sale price. Another nice perk I've found is that by staying out of the stores I'm saving money by not grabbing misc. things I "need" while I"m at Target (I'm lucky if I get out of that place for under $100).
I also now finally have time to fit in some exercise each night because I'm not constantly running errands to different stores picking up stuff....the downside is that I haven't put makeup on in over a week and live in yoga pants and t-shirts =)
I love how organized it looks....just like at the stores. I'm in OCD heaven!
This is what my subscription page looks like right now (plus some Organic Whole Wheat Bread Flour I just added today). It tells me what each item is, how much I'm paying, when my next delivery will occur and at what intervals I'm reordering (ex: 1 unit every 2 months for wipes).
My goal is to eventually order everything, (except fresh produce) on here, if I can find it for cheaper, or at least the same price. I also want to try and set it up so that I'm spending the same amount each month, so I need to make sure my different monthly intervals line up so that I'm not getting hit with one huge bill every couple months.
Anyone else have any great online store recommendations that are budget friendly?
