I also buy protein supplements off amazon and save big. Got to buy bulk though. 3 month supply. I shop for everything, and will even wait for something to go on clearance before I buy stuff. i almost never pay full price for stuff. Some websites even have 15 or 20 percent off codes. I also find that buying car parts is cheaper online... partsgeek, rockauto, etc. Call parts stores ask for part and brand and search online. Sometimes the parts stores have the same price as online but most the time its lower online. And you can get the better made parts companies. I put 2 front hub assemblies on my dodge diesel. every part store for the good parts was 360ish a piece. online for 220 apiece. free shipping. Timmken hubs I do the same, I wait for clearance and no shipping cost :) Were you ever unhappy wth anything you ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groceries from Amazon do not come with free shipping though.... I have not shopped for groceries yet, but I have considered checking it out. My son lives in Arlington Texas and he gets 30 minute delivery most days for the things that are in their warehouse.... i think it's guaranteed 2 hour, but often it's really quick. I heard that prime is not really good for use in Canada unless you have an account in the States? Do you watch more on Prime then Netflix or Youtube? I doubt if groceries would be a better price,would be interested to find out~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know really,just seems logical to me? Love,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if groceries would be a better price,would be interested to find out~~ Yes I do watch more in prime than Netflix and we do have both.... my wife goined Netflix and I joined Amazon prime.. I know that I can't loan any of my kindel library to anyone outside the US and that's been a let down in the past. as for the food, I have really not looked into that yet other than checking on the shipping..... they seem to charge by the box and as you order things the computer tells you how much you have in the box by percent. Some day I may check on what things cost at Walmart and check thier prices..... as it stands when we go to the grocery store we basically just get what we want.... I worked almost sixty years for us to be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always compare prices etc in stores, which kills my back to stand any time or stand in a shopping line. Electric shopping carts are not always available. But we have limited selection of many items in some stores now that there is online competition, so I am forced to buy online. I do shop Amazon and save several small items till I hit the free shipping mark; Walmart is the other place I sometimes check; ChristianBook often has good prices in spite of shipping costs. I found a leather bound bible there for $15. A lot of stores are pretty inaccessible for handicapped people. Even our JC Penny makes their isles too narrow for a standard wheelchair and doesn't provide electric shopping carts. Air fresheners in restrooms or a perfume counter give me severe asthma. But I prefer to support local businesses when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
