Amazon Prime Deals for Staple Products

We had a Costco membership for the last year or two. But we found ourselves going there only a couple of times, and getting things we may not have needed. The quantities are huge for just two people, and the brands are limited. That’s one of the reasons we decided to go with Amazon Prime. A new Whole Foods store is opening soon just two blocks away, we love the videos, appreciate the short shipping time, took advantage of the cloud photo option, and frankly we use Amazon for a lot of other stuff. So after going grocery shopping these last couple of weekends, I’ve been keeping track of household things that we could order on Amazon. Aside from the bulk order of Charmin toilet paper at a significantly reduced cost, we ordered Brita water filters, dial body wash, Reynolds wrap, sensodyne toothpaste, Gillette razor blades, low dose and regular Bayer aspirin, fish oil capsules, secret deodorant, and calcium tablets using coupons on several things. So our strategy for future grocery shopping is to buy fruit and perishable items at Whole Foods after on our morning walk when the need arises; stock up on wine at the Total Wine store using the coupons they are always sending to us; and buy non perishable items and household staples through Amazon. We have never used the two hour delivery option for anything as we really don’t have a need for it, but it’s nice to know it’s available. It makes us wonder if we really need a car? That’s a whole other discussion. I just know we aren’t quite there - yet.
