[quote=Anonymous][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

Beauty/hygiene - Get a CVS card, check weekly ads sales, and use coupons (manufacturer's coupons + store coupons)
Random things - eBay/FB marketplace/thrift store/consignment will be a huge savings if you buy used.  Otherwise sporting goods stores/home goods stores for the things you mentioned.
Clothing basics - Amazon sucks for these anyway.  I think Macy's has the best quality, but JC Penney is cheaper. Both have free shipping with a large enough order
