I was just perusing Amazon this morning, for a pair of flip flops. My white ones are looking a bit haggard. I'm going to buy the ones I found... just like another pair I have by Clarks.

This is me.... :giggle

What was your last online purchase?
Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription?
Who do you most purchase from online?
Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones?



My last online purchase was some shorts for my son to wear to work.
No subscriptions as of the moment.
Many are from Amazon. It's just so easy!
Amazon, Shoprite for my weekly groceries, a few times at Shein, Cacique, and occasionally at Costco, and random other sites.

What about you?
 
What was your last online purchase?
I ordered sunscreen, lotion and beach towels from Walmart last night for my daughter. ‘Tis the season for swimming! ;)

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription?
Some supplements for DH from Amazon.

Who do you most purchase from online? Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones?
Walmart for groceries, Amazon for everything else (I like easy returns).
 
What was your last online purchase? I ordered some jacket file folders from Amazon. Will be here today. Last week I ordered another Coolibar hat to wear during my walks and some capri length Lee jeans.

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? Not at this time.

Who do you most purchase from online? Amazon, was really convenient during the pandemic and now if I can't find something locally, I just go to Amazon instead of driving to another town to see if the item is available there just to find out it isn't.
 
What was your last online purchase? A book (Scrivener for Dummies), from amazon

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? Yes, I have some "subscribe and save" items (deodorant, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.) which I regularly purchase from amazon

Who do you most purchase from online? Amazon! or maybe TLP?

Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones? Amazon, Costco, Indigo (Canadian bookstore chain), and of course TLP
 
I don't order many things online any more, unless it's something I can't get locally. I'm a "buy local" kind of gal. My husband gets a special kind of tea online that he can't find around here. He orders a lot at a time to save on shipping and packaging.

I used to have a subscription to Hello Fresh. It was tasty, though expensive. After 3 different errors in my deliveries - missing items and once a package of raw chicken that leaked all over everything, I stopped using them. I do have 6 or 7 recipe cards that I kept from the meals we liked the most, and I re-create them with my own ingredients.

During COVID, I ordered things online out of necessity. Now, as an avid recycler, the packaging some sellers use makes me cringe. The worst example was I ordered 8 sets of squash balls. Each package of 3 balls was about the size of a toilet paper roll, and I ordered them all at the same time. Amazon sent 8 individual boxes, and each box was HUGE compared to what was in it - 12 x 12 x 18 at least, with crumpled paper packed around them.
 
What was your last online purchase?
A new suitcase but that was a couple of years ago now. I tend not to do much online shopping as I have horrible luck with getting it delivered by the local courier/delivery companies so it's way easier and less stressful to physically go into a shop. The only other time I've reluctantly done online shopping was when my mum had heart surgery and I was on my own for 6-8 weeks. Initially I was going to physically do my own grocery shopping but two or three days in I got struck down with what I later discovered was vertigo. Due to the fact I was on my own with no support system temporarily and living up 14 stairs I made the decision to temporarily use online grocery delivery and Uber Ears while I was on my own....not ideal but at the time it was the best thing to do. I just thought what would I do if I fell when out and about or I was stranded at the bottom of my stairs with a vertigo episode.

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription?
A few online subscriptions but nothing physical - I have a subscription to a couple of recipe platforms and of course Microsoft Office.

Who do you most purchase from online? Umm TLP! But in all seriousness it's either Mighty Ape (similar ish to Amazon), PB Tech (computer/tech store) or Trade Me (similar to eBay) but truthfully I prefer to spend my dollars at charity shops buying second hand if I can.

Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones?
TLP is the main one
 
What was your last online purchase? Canon Powershot G7 X Mark 111 digi-camera + media card + case from B&H Photography. I'd been looking to buy a new "real" camera. Went back and forth between a new dSLR with WiFi/Bluetooth which my current dRebel Ti4 doesn't have, a mirrorless model or a nice point and shoot.

Decided on the p&s, then had to wait a couple of months bc they've been out of stock. B&H finally got some in last week, I was able to order a few days before they became generally available on the 26th b/c I had one in my wishlist. By the 26th they were out of stock again.

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? No.

Who do you most purchase from online? Amazon b/c it's so easy. I'd prefer to shop locally, but I hate running from store to store and not being able to find what I'm looking for.

Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones? I'm not a fan of having a bunch of shopping apps on my phone ... just like I'm not a fan of having a bunch of store credit cards, so I shop via store websites.

Amazon, Target, Walmart, Kohl's & Costco (tp during the pandemic); and once in a great while from B&H ... I've bought my cameras there for probably 20 years. In the past I used to order from Lands' End and LL Bean ... long before the internet, then more recently.
 
What was your last online purchase? headphones for my son, from Best Buy
Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? my Complement supplement
Who do you most purchase from online? local stores like Best Buy, Kohl's. . . I'm on my 4th year of avoiding Amazon.
Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones? I don't use any store apps. I do have subscriptions for digital things: Smugmug, Backblaze, PhotoshopCC, Day One Journal . . . all that are nearly or over a decade old
 
What was your last online purchase? boots from Poshmark (a resale site)
Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? I get dog food on subscription from Chewy

What was your last online purchase? I ordered some beads for pick up from my local JoAnns store. They give you a $5 coupon if you order online and then pick up in store... so it's like free money! :agree

Do you have any purchases that are sent like a subscription? Not right now. I did have a subscription for a monthly art journaling box for awhile and I loved getting those in the mail!

Who do you most purchase from online? Amazon for sure. Otherwise I try to buy stuff from my local stores.

Do you regularly shop from certain websites or apps? Which ones? I do a lot of price checking at Michaels, JoAnns, Lowes and Best Buy, but then I go into our local store and get what I need.

My friend got me sunscreen (she works for J&J) at a really cheap cheap rate. I took advantage! Summer here we come!!! I have used Walmart for groceries for my son when he is away at college. So simple.

I had to google Coolibar, as I didn't know what it was by that name! Perfect for summer!
I also use Amazon a lot!

Books, yay! My fav! I'm on 49, but I'm behind on my goal.
I didn't even think of TLP, and you are totally right! :giggle

I do buy local many times, but sometimes the ease and quickness of amazon or bigger store helps me out in a crunch! I used Hello fresh for awhile. I want to try emeails but I haven't bit the bullet. I totally get it about the packaging. It doesn't make sense a lot of the time!

I've never used UberEats! Here it's way overpriced. I think my kids eventually realized that too when they had ot pay for themselves. Now, they will walk to the nearest places for food if not at night. Oh yes, I didn't think of that - I have Photoshop!

Did you get the camera? I visited B&H when I worked in the city. It was a little overwhelming! lol!
Amazon for me too! I've done Kohl's too, but they are a 2 minute drive, so mostly I go there!

Oh yes, I have ordered from Best Buy too... then a store pick up! Makes it so easy!
I use store apps, especially CVS as I get coupons or freebies! I don't know if I can avoid Amazon! :giggle!

I've never bought from Poshmark. You like it? I've futzed around but never actually purchased something.
We used to use Chewy, but our local place is just easier, and I get $10 off Benson's special food.
I love ordering groceries, and sending my son or hubby to pick up! Haha!

I like the idea of coupons for free! I am similar to you but CVS program, spend $5, get $10.
Happy Mail.... I stopped most of my mail subscriptions... I would love to find another little one with a fun simple inexpesive activity or place to visit, food to try with a coupon box type of thing each month.
 
I buy way too much online! Mostly Amazon but I also buy clothes from JJill, Loft and Old Navy and sometimes Athleta if they have a really good sale. My most recent Amazon purchase was an new filter for an air filter gizmo.

I have a couple subscriptions on Amazon -- chewing gum (believe it or not) since it's much cheaper than buying in the store and chlorine tablets for the toilets which are hard to find elsewhere. I used to get our dogfood from Chewy, which was also a subscription.
