[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous]What are some more good alternatives to Amazon? I feel like I read Walmart and Target are just as bad. I looked at my purchases over the last 6 months and would love some advice on good alternatives to think about shopping. I think mainly Costco and the commissary/PX (we are an active duty family) could cover a lot of what I buy on Amazon. I've just fallen out of the habit of shopping on base because it's kind of a long drive for me.

home cleaning supplies and paper products - Costco already covers most of this for me

What about beauty/hygiene items? They are really expensive at drug stores and grocery stores from what I've seen. Costco doesn't have a big selection. I used to buy these things at Target, but that's apparently on the "do not shop" list.

What about random things like a basketball pump, inexpensive house planters, chair cushions, throw pillow covers - I think this is hardest for me to think about replacing amazon for

Which store for clothing basics, like underwear, t shirts, socks, pj pants? Maybe Costco, but, again, not the best selection

Make up at Amazon is cheap because it’s fake

I would NEVER eat anything from Amazon or put in my body like shampoo or soap. So many SKU counterfeits.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE BUYING?  We are a family of 5, so yes I’m at Lidl a couple times a week for groceries.

But shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels — that’s a once a month purchase I can kick off with a 20 min target run after kid are in bed.

Seat cushions, bicycle pumps, bras, are you buying something every week??  [/quote]
I feel like I rely on Amazon the most for odd and hard to find items.   For example, this past week a neighbor gave us their old keyboard but didn't have the AC adapter.  We didn't have one the right size so I found one on Amazon almost instantly for $6. It's a 1990s keyboard and a weird adapter size.  It showed up in less than 24 hours and works great.[/quote]

You pay $10 a month so you can replace an adaptor on a 90s keyboards??? [/quote]
