All my cat food, kcups when I want to have them around. I don't buy as much food items as I'd like online because I still have to go to the grocery store for perishables so it's easy to just grab the other stuff while I'm there.
"But I order a lot of stuff from Amazon, and have for years. Television sets, computers, tablets, clothes, bras, nightgowns, etc. DH has ordered shoes"
I had to check your user name to make sure I didn't write that and forget because I've bought all that stuff from Amazon too! Only the shoes were for me and my son.
What kind of bacon and other meats? That is interesting. I refuse to buy any more
Smithfield products. I like thick cut bacon but it rarely goes on sale. We like the smaller hams and turkey breasts. Will have to look on Amazon to see if it would be too expensive.
I get most of my stuff at Costco, but I can see the future when I can't drive I will be doing more shopping on Amazon. I loathe going from store to store for an item - husband needed a special paint sprayer, many minutes on the phone to Lowes and Home Depot and they clerks either didn't understand what he was looking for or were too lazy to really look for it.

Here ya go, don't know how far they ship as the meats are frozen. Pricey for sure. bot oh so good.
I order all my cat food from www.chewy.com, with the exception of one flavor he likes that I order from Petco with free shipping. I used to go to Petsmart every month, but their prices keep going up. Besides, it's $.28 less per can to order it, and I do that every three months.
I shop at Walmart, sometimes at Target, and buy meat on sale at various stores, including Hispanic markets.
Amazon Prime is so convenient- in fact too convenient really. We think nothing of ordering something like scone mix knowing it will be delivered the next day. If I went to the store for scone mix I know I would spend $50 to make the trip worthwhile.
So now we are ordering on line
all our pet food
kitty litter
aluminium pans for pot lucks, etc
kitchen towels in bulk
bulk cheap shower caps which I use instead of saran wrap for leftovers
White Lily flour
cake flour
lots of other things.
What do you order online? Are the savings significant or is it the convenience which matters most?
I have actually tried to shop for things on Amazon Prime but generally I find many of the things listed are more expensive on Amazon than Walmart. Or just more expensive than the store I'm going to anyway.
Litter and cat food = cheaper on Walmart than Amazon, for me.
