Would you use this service? Just wondered, even with free shipping, if this would be worth your while. Our amazon.ca is limited to very few items so I can't compare prices and amazon.com won't ship to Canada :mad: so we can't take advantage of any of the Friday sale items etc.

Great idea, but I looked at several items we might normally purchase - you have to buy in bulk. For example, for granola bars, you have to purchase a box of 12 boxes for $33. We wouldn't eat that many in a year!

Yes! I never thought of ordering this stuff through Amazon. Their prices are fantastic, even for us. If you have storage space, I think it's a great deal. The Stash teas are really inexpensive, and I have two cheap local sources. The Tide was even cheaper than I can buy it at Costco.

I'm going to have to suggest this to my SIL who has celiac. The gluten free mixes are really cheap. I just bought her a few different types that I found locally and am sending them to her because she can't find many in Greenville.

ETA--I just bought a box of all natural chocolate chip granola bars at Trader Joes. I would love to get those in bulk! I've eaten the whole box this week. (they're sweetened with barley syrup and fruit juice but taste as good as Kudos)

Hmmm.. maybe prices in CO are cheaper than the average, but it didn't look to me like the prices were significantly cheaper.
