Yes I do use Amazon for the bulk of my things plus free shipping. I don’t even have to make a list since I have Alexa she keeps my list for me transfers it from my phone. I can even scan a barcode. Heavy items are no big deal except for the fedex guy.

I know what’s on sale if I can buy it cheaper elsewhere, coupons are applied. I don’t buy meat at the grocery since we split a cow.

Most of my fresh produce comes from my container gardens. When I’m up north every grocery store offers home delivery or front door pick up. I truthfully have not been in a grocery store more than five times in the last six months.

I find I actually spend less money on groceries since there’s no impulse buying walking down the aisle‘s and getting caught up in that long line to pay at the cash register. I’ve been using Amazon for close to a year and extremely happy. Up north whole foods delivery to our home so if I need anything from there it’s at my door within two hours.

We are prime members, almost every thing I buy comes from a box with a smile on it.
