Amazon Pantry
Posted: February 10th, 2018, 12:07 pm
To go to a small supermarket means a round trip of 12 miles for me and to get to a larger one is a round trip of 28-30 miles which apart from being expensive is time consuming. Each store is a destination in its own right as they are in separate market towns which are themselves ten miles apart.
We have a good village shop but its choice is limited and we also have excellent fresh fruit, veg, egg and meat suppliers quite locally so I have been exploring the delights of Amazon pantry as I am a Prime member for the other stuff.
First you can get free delivery if you order four items which qualify. So if there are items on that list – and I use them and the price is right I order those first. Then I fill the rest of the box with items that I know I can’t buy cheaper elsewhere. Surprising things really: for example Ovaltine at £2 per tub when it is generally £3 elsewhere and Kenco Rich instant coffee which is nearly always available at the price you see it on offer in supermarkets for a limited period.
Very cost effective for me but always open to pick up more tips from other Fools
