Spinoff thread: What do I need to order off Amazon?

Damn near anything. Before you make a purchase on anything, especially electronics, look it up on amazon and check out the price.

I buy printers, monitors, open signs, tables, safety mirrors, shredders, etc from there. All my stores are 2 hours away from me. If I can plan the trip (not an emergency item) I can replace it with something from Amazon.

If you are prime, use subscribe and save and have things like paper towels, toilet paper, air conditioner filters, razors sent automatically every 2 months at 20% off. It's a better deal and you don't have to haul it home from the store.

You can buy almost anything on Amazon. My most random purchase was an electric motor for an old box fan. I literally typed in the model number, and had a replacement for $80 shipped Prime. I have no idea where I would have found something like that locally.

If I am making a purchase over $20 and don't need it immediately, I always check Amazon first.

You can even scan barcodes within their app, which also helps price check.

Amazon also offers a store credit card. It gives you unlimited 5% cash back on everything you buy. Really helps for those big purchases or something where it may be close to the price of something locally.

Paper Towels
Dog Food
Diapers
Baby Wipes
Garbage Bags
Cleaning Supplies
TV/Movies on Smart TV
Laundry Detergent
Soap/Shampoo
Razors

And that's just the regular stuff. I buy at least one thing a week with prime. I constantly check to see if Amazon has something over other places. Honestly, the television part of it pays for the whole thing to me (I don't have cable).

Used marital aids.... they are usually have the price and have hardly any problems.

For big purchases, check to see if a brick and mortar will price match it.

With most states having to pay sales tax on Amazon, if you can price match at a brick and mortar, you may as well just get it there and take it home that day.

EVERYTHING.

For real though, everything but perishable food items... unless you list somewhere that offers that service too.

In which case, EVERYTHING.
