    Don't think there's any more reliable and widely used online store, still expanding. What do you use?

    I think I read that wrong..

    Shouldn't it be "There are people who do "not" use Amazon?"

    Over the last couple weeks I bought a grooming kit, a CD, a blu ray, a travel mug, and some other things I can't even remember. So, yes, I still use it.

    We probably put in 5 or 6 orders every month. Our yearly Prime membership pays for itself after just a month or 2.

    Lately, I've been buying Amazon gift cards at Kroger every week and just using them instead of my CC. You get double Kroger fuel points when you buy a gift card.

    It's like a game now.

    Jokes right? I use Amazon over any other online retailer, and a lot of brick and morter places. Sunday delivery for the win.

    Had the same question, as my go-to stores are Auchan, Circuit City, Builder's Square and Service Merchandise.

    Amazon just can't compete with those stores.

    Mostly for the office...I get ink for the printer, paper, pens, bathroom supplies, coffee, paper towels, soap, etc...I have two offices, so we have a constant need to replenish supplies that we use.

    Also, whatever I need around the house, I just get it on Amazon, unless it's something I need right then and there. Paper towels, toilet paper, plastic cups, shaving cream, contact lens solution, etc... All things that I use daily, but have no desire to go to the store to pick up.
