[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

I never buy beauty products from Amazon because I’m afraid it’s fake stuff in old bottles.  For things like socks and underwear etc we do target or costco.  Target works for a lot of the other things you mentioned.

Where I struggle in the little weird things like travel converter plugs, scuba socks, etc.  one off stuff that there isn’t a good local store and too niche for target to carry.  [/quote]
