    All of DH's books, school supplies, he even ordered 3-pack cases of shaving cream and shampoo from Amazon, boxes of nitrile gloves, 100 count boxes of dishwasher tabs, printer toner, 700 dog poop bags (plus bone-shaped holder!), batteries, lots of random household items that we don't need ASAP and can wait 2 days for. It doesn't totally eradicate my need for Target trips but they aren't as frequent. Most recently we bought a new vacuum from Amazon.

    I don't do a huge amount of online shopping for clothes - I really prefer to try stuff on first so I don't have to deal with return shipping. If I buy something in a store that I really like and want more of/to replace, I'll order online. I'll order shoes online since those are pretty standard in terms of sizing. I'll order random pieces of jewelry or home decor items if I come across them or see a sale. I've been a loyal customer of BaubleBar over the summer. In theory I like the idea of *going* shopping but usually in reality I tire of it really quickly. I also sometimes develop a weird complex about spending money on myself - I'll go to the mall for a specific reason, something I need, and then decide I don't really need it/shouldn't spend the money on it/on myself. It's annoying.

    The only thing we have on autoship is Cooper's dog food. 30lb of dog food delivered to our door every 6 weeks. So convenient.

      Too much stuff, I'm almost embarrassed. Mostly random stuff I don't want to try to find at the store. For the house, drugstore.com and clothes. As I was moving out of my apartment this summer, the UPS lady was in the building so I said "Thanks for delivering all my packages" she responded "oh what unit are you?" I told her and she immediately knew who I was and said you're welcome...... arg shopaholic problems.

        Everything. UPS comes every day. I love amazon for those random "I just noticed that we are short on XYZ" purchases that drift out of my mind before they get on the to do list. Definitely diapers, wipes, paper goods....

          I know this isn't true for everyone but I think I actually spend less when I shop online. If I go into Target, I spend easily $100 because I notice other deals/sales (almost always stuff for the kids) and always drop money on those things we don't need. If I order something from Amazon, that doesn't happen because there's no trigger of seeing something else and deciding we need it.

            Yep T&S, that's definitely true for me too.

              I'll chime in here, not much! Select items from places like Amazon. Last thing I ordered was sheet music, before that I don't remember. I'm very tactile when it comes to buying clothes and it seems like way too much effort to have things sent only to return.. Now i either buy books through Kindle or go to the local book store.

                +1 for all the things Easily cheaper than being set free in Target!

                  We have same-day delivery on Nespresso, because they're located in town somewhere. I'm realizing UPS, FedEx, and Ontrac are here A LOT!

                    We also have munchery.com which brings you good FOOD that you heat up in the oven or microwave. I order dinner there sometimes. Groceries are usually from Amazon Fresh, but they tend to run out of stuff and not restock.

                        Textbooks, oh so many textbooks. Also, I recently claimed my jeans. I found the perfect size, lenght and brand that works for me every time and I just get them in varying styles from the manufacturer, saves me the time and humiliation of trying to squeeze into anything else. Other than that, I buy most clothes and food from the store.

                          Amazon, Nordstrom, and eBay for almost everything. Good grief, I love eBay for makeup, clothes, shoes, whatever.
