It's great for household items like rugs, curtains, kitchen items, clothing, pet supplies, vitamins, and even some furniture. It does, however, take a bit longer to receive the items. I order my groceries from Safeway and pick them up at the store ( 3 miles away) the next day. Books and music are available at Half Price Books.com, but you do have to pay for shipping.
One thing I've noticed about Amazon is that repeat purchases are usually offered at a much higher price than the original purchase, which really pisses me off. If I search Amazon using a different IP address (at my daughter's house) and not logging in, I can find the same item at a much lower price, close to what I originally paid. They seem to have an algorithm that makes you pay more on repeat.
