Amazon has already enabled most of us to become 50 percent more hermit-like in our everyday lives. Like, when was the last time you went into an actual bookstore? I know I personally order everything from fabric glue pen refills to backpacks online, saving me a trip to the store.
This October, Amazon is making it easy to load up your pantry for the long winter with its latest Prime Pantry promotion. Amazon Prime members can choose five select items from a variety of categories, then get free shipping on their order.
Can’t decide what to get? Here are our picks for shoppers of all stripes. Because the only thing better than spending my own money online is helping other people spend theirs too.
