"I buy everything online. I don’t have time to go to stores"

What do you buy online?

We do a supermarket order about once a week by email. We don’t usually do more than that online.

We buy household items like detergent, mouthwash, diapers, and garbage bags from Amazon. My husband orders prizes and snacks for his class as well as other programs he runs from Amazon, Target, and Boxed. I also do a lot of the kids clothing shopping online.

Since I live in Israel, not much. I shop on Next for kids clothing and sometimes my own. Sometimes I get super random items on Amazon (things I can’t typically find in the standard stores here) but also the more typical things like school supplies, cosmetic items, kitchen stuff, baby products, and more. I also buy books online.

We used to have an online food shopping site that was very convenient; you could order your whole shopping cart and get it the next day. It was a real help during Covid, since I don’t have a car. Unfortunately, it closed down.

With Amazon, as I live in Israel, the shipping rates go up and down. When there was a delivery fee, I didn’t order but when there was no delivery fee, it was great. I would order my kids certain items I found cheaper than in the local stores.

Mostly clothes and pajamas for my kids and clothes and shoes for myself, as well as other random stuff like school supplies, books, skin care/cosmetics, etc.

School supplies — it used to give me the biggest headache to do it in person. Now it’s done and delivered after 15 minutes of online shopping with no bored kids hanging off my shopping cart. A mechayeh! Also toiletries, books (started that during Covid when the libraries were closed and got hooked!), teachers’ gifts, Groupon for activities with the kids, things like that. I do Target orders about once a week; there’s no delivery fee if the order is over $35.

I follow some sale WhatsApp groups for good deals and often find myself buying stuff, whether we need it or not! I get toiletries from Target, (so long as they’ll deliver it, I’ll buy it) and whatever we need from Amazon.
